I am a developer myself, so I have seen first hand how AI has significantly reshaped the industry. I am more and more giving instructions to AI rather than coding myself, and then just checking the work. But more and more I think even this code checking is becoming redundant. In my area there are a lot of kids coding camps. It’s funny, like 10 years ago these camps really took off and there were all these vendors advocating how code is going to be the future and there’s going to be all these code jobs everywhere, and give your kid a head start etc. etc. Now those same kids are probably finishing high school and university and are like…of dear wtf happened. My kid is now approaching this age, and I always planned on giving my kid this exposure to coding early to give him this head start, but now I am like, is this a total waste of time? Like it’s great for their brain and development so I suppose that’s never a bad thing. But in terms of practical skills that will be used and future jobs, I feel pessimistic. It almost seems better to just let them go to a sport camp, or even something creative or something like that. What are peoples thoughts on this, and also I want to open this up to a broader discussion on how parents are preparing their kids for an AI world and whether this is shaping extra curricular activities. submitted by /u/humble___bee
