I think this is what worries me the most about coding agents- I'm not convinced they'll be able to do my job anytime soon but most of the things I use it for are the types of tasks I would have previously set aside for an intern at my old company. Hard to imagine myself getting into coding without those easy problems that teach a newbie a lot but are trivial for a mid-level engineer.

The other side of the coin is half the time you do set aside that simple task for a newbie, they paste it into an LLM and learn nothing now.

Well there’s not much you can do to prevent people from choosing sabotage their own education.

They have to want to learn.
