Personally, I think its a disaster nowadays. Nobody knows how to debug anything.  They put out the most inefficient code that is so full of errors and bugs that it would make you wince.  Most folks don't even understand what the code even does just "ChatGPT told me to use this".

If you ask someone to help/assist with something outside their domain, they look at you like you are an alien.  They simply don't understand how to take skillset "A" and translate that into at least a beginning knowledge for "B".

As the workforce retires, I am very concerned about the future of anything dealing with technology.  Too many folks think because they play Fortnight or Minecraft they are "IT" experts.
