When you did math and long division by hand in highschool did you enjoy it? Did you feel like you lost something when you were allowed to use a graphing calculator on a test?
In university I dreaded exams that allowed calculators because I knew how much harder the exam was going to be - that's what genai is today in my experience.
Yes we don't need manual calculators as a profession anymore to land rockets, same as we don't need a programmer to necessarily fiddle around with divs or structs - but the exams are harder now. Now we need to spend our time actually considering trade offs and actually doing software engineering. This is harder and maybe not everyone who's had that job title is particularly good at that - but that's the new skill to get good at, and because the world is under constrained making design and implementation decisions will essentially always need to be done by the person building the thing.
If you liked the programming bit, I'm sorry - I'm personally happy I don't have to remember regex or how to figure out how to center a div or span again.
