Some Of My Lingering Questions/Thoughts

  • I highly recommend taking a look at the comments section

  • How would this impact CS education at large?

  • I still don’t think computational thinking is the answer

  • If the shift is from doing the programming to teaching a machine what to program, we still need to understand how to program
