The death of entry-level math and CS jobs is greatly exaggerated, I believe.

First, costs and ROI of AI are on a collision course and companies are finding they can't simply lay off smart people and replace them with "vibe-working" employees. Secondly, not only will more junior workers adapt to new hybrid human/AI workflows better than more senior workers, they're likelier to apply them to parts of the job that are low-value, routine. Third, the next frontier for agents and models is within very narrow domains where more junior AI-savvy workers are in a great position to collect, capture and refine the data models from subject matter experts. Who better to ask "What about X ...?" and "How do you know Y...?" from experts?
