But schools don’t do this— they keep advancing. Only parents offer this service.
A truism of CS is that you need to understand at least one level of abstraction below where you operate.
- OS devs -> hardware

I just realized that since 3Blue1Brown's animation code is open-source, most LLMs know how to use it!
I used @Replit to create this animation of the exponential function in literally 10 seconds.
the power of gen ai for coding reveals the divide between those who code for the love of code, and those for whom coding is a means to an end.
I imagine the former make better coders, but in the actual world of people wanting to solve problems, the end result is what matters.
