Hey Michael, thanks for the amazing. I had a few questions: • For juniors and new grads, how can we keep learning and prevent our coding skills from atrophying while using AI tools? • How do we develop good taste and judgment for what “good code” looks like? • What skills should

Good question and I don't know, we need more academic research into it haha.
AI is a tool. And like any tool, use it as much as possible and build deep intuition.
The problem is the time window is small because AI is powerful enough tool to fully supplant juniors.
I think you have about 1 year maybe until the end of 2026 to either master AI or be left behind.
No offense but juniors need to fight to strap themselves into the luggage storage area on the rocket ship but that's better than not getting on at all.
