What gets lost when coding gets easy?

Jason and Herman explore the state of software development in the age of AI, sparked by a simple expense tracker project that took minutes instead of weeks. They wrestle with what gets lost when implementation becomes trivial, from atrophying programming skills to the creative constraints that once shaped indie games, and consider what this means for education and the next generation of knowledge workers.
