In this episode, we dive into how universities are reimagining computer science education in the age of generative AI. At the University of Washington, students are now citing ChatGPT as collaborators on assignments, and faculty are experimenting with how to teach problem-solving in a world where AI can handle the syntax. We explore what it means when academic leaders say “coding is dead” , - not as a death knell for tech careers, but as a call to shift focus from typing lines of code to designing intelligent systems. With insights from recent grads, startup employers, and curriculum designers, we unpack the evolving definition of “entry-level” and why curiosity, adaptability, and AI fluency are quickly becoming core job skills. From debugging all-nighters to AI-assisted workflows, this is a candid look at what the next generation of tech talent is learning, - and what the rest of us might need to unlearn. Whether you're hiring, teaching, or just trying to stay relevant, this episode explores what “post-coding” really means.
