Also to expand on my comment above, I spent a few years working in schools and I was surprised to see a trend I had noticed prior was reflected in the students: the tech skills don't seem to be as prevalent as in prior generations. My very casual theory is that the transition in UI's over the years from powerful and flexible to dumb and barely configurable, has led to fewer kids exploring software and getting a knack for (and confidence in) tinkering. Again, I don't think AI will improve this long term, so it will be interesting to see what new developers are like in 20 years if it's safe to assume that many devs have this background of 'software curiosity' if I can call it that.

And before someone well ackshually's me: yes I recognise that this technology progression isn't unique to software.
