In the age of LLM powered coding copilots and agents, do programming skills still matter? Shall we focus more on design and algorithmic thinking instead? Computer science != programming, now more true than ever.

Victor's principles for making programming cognitively accessible (seeing state, time, flow) remain relevant with LLMs because they address how humans fundamentally understand systems, not just how we write code.

I wonder if Bret has an update, given LLMs are a thing now.

Bret's life's work is all about direct manipulation and building mental models. LLMs are a layer between humans and our work; they make our tools less direct. My guess is that his advice about LLMs would be to not use them.
