> If you already know how to code, yes AI/LLMs can speed you along at certain tasks, though be careful you don't let your skills atrophy.

This isn't a concern. Ice-cutting skills no longer have value, and cursive writing is mostly a 20th century memory. Not only have I let my assembly language skills atrophy, but I'll happily bid farewell to all of my useless CS-related skills. In 10 years, if "app developer" still involves manual coding by then, we'll talk about coding without an AI partner like we talk about coding with punch cards.

Maybe. I've seen a lot of "in 10 years..." predictions come and go and I'm still writing code pretty much the same way I did 40 years ago: in a terminal, in a text editor.
