@simon I don’t buy that at all. It’s true that many technical developer skills transfer well to other programming languages, but I’ve also seen and experienced for decades now that truly understanding an ecosystem (like learning to speak a foreign language near-native, including social, political, cultural aspects) is a long and slow process. AI might help, but it won’t make you proficient over night.

@ujay68 there’s fluent, but there’s a level below that where you can build and ship small (not large) projects with confidence despite not knowing the language inside out - that’s where I am now with AI-assisted development for Go and jq and Bash and Dockerfile and AppleScript
