Unfortunately, many sdevs don't understand it.
I wouldn't want to write raw bytes like Mel did though. Eventually some things are not worth getting good at.
Forklift operators don't lift things in their training. Even CS students start with pretty high level of abstraction, very few start from x86 asm instructions.
We need to make them implement ALU's on logical gates and wires if we want them to lift heavy things.
Though I also wonder what advanced CS classes should look like. If they agent can code nearly anything, what project would challenge student+agent and teach the student how to accomplish CS fundamentals with modern tools.

Things must have certainly changed since I was a CS student :-/ We did an assembler course in second year, and implemented a basic adder in circuitry in a different course.
This was in the mid-90s, when there was definitely little need for assembly programmers outside of EE (I was CS).
Well, whether we like it or not, we are all eventually going to find out if "developing a product that adds value to its users" can be done when you have no more skill than aforementioned users.
Skills atrophy is a real thing.
