If that's true things are truly hopeless for pre-school/school children who are not in position to jump on the train just yet.

Correct, in fact you can tell most AI detractors aren't thinking about this from a _computer science_ point of view. You'll have many people claiming "why prompt an LLM when you can write it and commit it yourself in 45 minutes?" True, you could. But that's a purely _serial_ workload. LLMs are effectively data-independent and they can.. work in _parallel_. Meaning instead of working on a single task, you can juggle multiple simultaneously. So even if you're as fast or faster on a one-on-one basis, you _cannot physically_ be faster than 10 separate sessions running in parallel, working on wholly separate tasks. And that's actually where most 10x gains come from. See Amdahl's/Gustafson's laws.

Is this mean-spirited comment really what you want to share as the face of your company?

This but the train is competence (the opposite of AI) and it has already left.

The AI whisperer! The hottest job title of 2026!

This. Except it’s not that hard to get proficient. Either learn it or get left behind same as it ever was in software tech.
