Comment from Imed Radhouani(@imed_radhouani): @stoyan_minchev  You're right. And this is the part nobody teaches. In school, they teach you how to write code. How to architect systems.

AI can certainly help teach skills faster, but I do think the person needs to be generally aware of what they are using AI for/knowledgable about the task ... ... from Ashraf Mahmoud(@amm8): As you describe, it comes down to how you use Ai. For general purposes things that I know, I use AI as tool to summarize information. I can check the results because I know the topic

... productive How will we now be able to determine seniority and level of progress when each of us owns an AI assistant? (By years of service? By successfully applying code from the AI? Real-world outcomes?) I see this topic as important, especially because salary has always depended on seniority.

Imagine being that kid, maybe you got lucky and got good faith education on it from your parents, maybe the school actually did well talking about the subject.

My main headache with auth/permissions was trusting Lovable to do it well.
