I said it was effective at cranking out software, not at training the next generation of engineers. However obviously the terms of engineering are changing so it would also be a mistake to automatically think we should train them exactly as we did before. Some people saw compilers as the same thing: it’s an abstraction layer! How is anyone going to know what’s actually happening in the CPU anymore?! Well, they don’t actually need to.
