@baldur AI-driven coding and copy/paste answers also fit into this. We don't understand what we code - we just know the result we want, we copy/paste it from some source, and hope for the best. Speed is rewarded, not compactness or efficiency.

I can't lecture more than 5 minutes with my students before they all stop listening. I have to constantly inject activities and teach process only, no theory. I don't know what they will do when the process changes.

@jen4web I imagine it must be a struggle. I haven’t taught live classes since 2008, for a variety of reasons, but even in those pre-iPhone times keeping students’ attention was tough.

The whole “process only, no theory” thing is something I’ve encountered with younger coworkers/collaborators, though. It’s definitely become a thing.

@baldur Employers reward process. Bootcamps teach process. Employers hire on process, then wonder why their employees struggle with solving problems and adapting to new ways of doing things. We're doing it to ourselves.
