In a world dominated by AI, the necessity of understanding technical concepts like Bloom filters or traditional programming fundamentals is becoming questionable. With the increasing complexity and capability of AI assistants, knowing the intricacies of system design may become obsolete. The reliance on AI as an abstraction layer raises discussions about the future of learning and the importance of deep technical knowledge.

Do we really need to know how things work? 🧠

What’s the point in learning the fundamentals?

Reverse the question to “Is it really ok to offload all our fundamental knowledge to AI companies ?”
You personally don’t need know everything but someone has to know the intricacies of a specific tech and another guy for another piece, etc… We collectively need to keep this knowledge alive or the over reliance on AI companies will give them too much leverage and we also risk losing knowledge eventually.

Yes, if not for our own popularity (seriously, the media is panicking that we do not understand).

The ones that know it will look like sorcerers and wizards to the AI apes 🙃
