A friend of mine who graduated in 1983 with a computer science and an accounting degree, had an interview for an accounting job. Accounting was his actual passion, but he also enjoyed programming. He was told at one interview:

'Your computer science degree is useless. With this spreadsheet program I can do everything. There is no longer a need for programmers'

I think he was wrong, just like Thomas J Watson (CEO of IBM 1943 quote: "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.")

So when I hear AI will replace ... I think it will enhance and redefine.

To be fair it's very rare for an accountant today to know a proper programming language. I wish that was part of their training since from my perspective accountants could really benefit from git, SQL, and a little Python.

I agree, and would push it further, that almost all professionals need to have a basic understanding of Logic and programming. At least to create a Sort routine (without copying it).

I believe schools should require a Logic (not just philosophy) class.
