I like that some of the non-programmers went on to take programming courses.
As a dabbler, the genAI coding tools have been a force multiplier for me, but I know my way around an IDE; understand (sorta) what's needed for apps, APIs, and the like; know about libraries; and know how to think in pseudocode.
You just can't do genAI coding on autopilot. You need to be the driver AND know a bit of what you are doing.
