This article hits my nerve.
I took a course in PKU called "Critical Reading."
The professor refused to use textbooks the whole semester. She'd pick essays from philosophy and literature, print them herself. Her taste alone was worth the tuition.
That class gave me one skill I still use every day: don't trust what you read, find the cracks first.
Growing up in China's education system, I never encountered anything like this before or after that one class. Rote learning was the norm. Critical thinking was the exception.
It's always the same thing. AI writes the code. You decide if it's any good.
Harness or whatever is a commodity. Judgment isn't.
Back at my colleage time, one “Critical Reading” course truly taught me critical thinking: questioning assumptions and spotting the flaws.
The professor skipped textbooks the whole semester and personally curated pieces from literature and philosophy, printing them on paper. That taste and care still stay with me.
Peter says the most important role in the AI era is the Architect. It’s exactly what that course was about: you have to be able to judge what “good” really is.
The scarcest skill isn’t whatever engineering. It’s judgment.
