> If everyone uses AI to code, how does someone become an expert

The same way they do now that most code is being copied/integrated from StackOverflow.



I had this conversation with a friend:

HIM: AI is going to take all entry level jobs soon. ME: So the next level one up will become entry level? HIM: Yes. ME: Inductively, this can continue up to the CEO. What about the CEO? HIM. Wait...


I simply don’t believe all the jobs will go away; it feels much more like the field will just be significantly pared back. There will be more opportunities for juniors eventually if it turns out to be too high of a barrier to entry and elder programmers start to retire.
