3. Should students still study computer science? There are misinformed narratives on how AI has replaced the software engineering industry. Sometimes they try to connect AI and Job losses, creating big fears for new graduates and students aspiring to become software engineers. Although many times, this connection is misinformed. AI tools are impressive, but real software engineering involves architecture, security, distributed systems, ethics, and much more. A 4-year degree is also a long time. A lot could have changed.

I’m curious. How are you thinking about AI in your engineering? Is it a useful, a distraction, or a threat to the craft itself? Where do you draw the line?
