Documentation won't save you if you've forgotten how to code

    What does “forgotten how to code” mean, practically?

    There are plenty of people who refuse to use AI - just call them? This story time doesn’t make any sense to me

    If you actually read the article, you'd know.

    It's not one person forgetting. It's institutional knowledge disappearing. Entry level coding positions disappearing means in 10-15 years, you're looking at a shortage of senior devs, because a lot fewer people were building up their skills during that time due to the lack of jobs allowing for it
