Students should practice code-inspection drills daily. In an era where developers help generate tens of thousands of lines of AI-assisted code per day, speed-reading expertise with an eagle eye for anomalies is essential.

The conceptual underpinnings of hardware, operating systems, and compilers still matter—for troubleshooting, early detection, and guiding system design. But the emphasis in CS curricula needs to shift dramatically.

Developers no longer immerse themselves in one task for a day—they juggle multiple projects, coordinate with AI agents, and keep complex problems in their heads simultaneously.
CS programs need to prepare students for this reality. itrev.io/4pugsYT

Steve Yegge runs four concurrent AI agents while coding. The cognitive load is real—each agent requires context switching, version control discipline, and careful oversight.
This is how software gets built now.
