SD Times editor-in-chief Dave Rubinstein and Barun Singh of tech talent company Andela discuss the impact of AI on nurturing future developers. Singh emphasizes that while AI automates coding basics, core knowledge and critical thinking are still essential. He highlights the importance of code review, planning, and security, which require senior experience. Singh believes colleges should focus on foundational knowledge, and boot camps remain relevant due to their immersive learning approach.
