I’m a CS student, and at this point AI does all the coding. Not most of it. All of it. My classmates and I don’t write code anymore. We describe the problem, get a full solution from AI, and then our job is to understand what the AI produced. We read the code, follow the logic, and make small fixes if something breaks, but the solution itself is entirely generated. Writing code line by line just doesn’t happen. I’m interested in what others think about this, especially people already working in the industry.
