This chapter emphasizes customizing education to nurture children's curiosity, and foresees a future where language proficiency in software engineering will be more important than syntax mastery. Collaboration with AI assistants is expected to enhance problem-solving skills and democratize coding proficiency.
What will being a software engineer look like in the future, when the predominant coding language is English—or whatever language you speak—instead of JavaScript? In this episode, Reid reflects on his own education, including the value of studying philosophy. Plus, he shares what he’d prioritize in designing kids' classroom experiences today and gets into AI’s potential to help customize lessons to align with students’ curiosities and learning styles.
