Too little too late given that there will be no programmers left in three years due to AI
I’ve been a programmer for 40 years. Many of my friends have been programming and doing R&D for decades.
We’ve been aggressively using the latest AIs as they come out, stretching their limits.
Not one of us is worried about losing anything, and are more excited than ever about the future of programming.
Less nigly work and putzing around, more architecting interesting and novel large-scale systems. We now have a team of decently competent very focused robots buzzing around cleaning up boring tasks, while we work on higher level more interesting stuff.
Today, anyone can get focussed tutoring 24/7 from an AI to quickly move them up the value stack.
How is this bad?

But will it help the state overall? One major problem that the state of Michigan has is the top CS students from our state's universities overwhelmingly leave the state and that is not being addressed by our legislators.
