This isn’t inevitable. It’s possible to have regimes where humans are trained to take.over from.AI’s..staging outages and so on. My go-to example is airline pilots, who are trained to fly manually in the case of equipment failures.
The airline pilot example is a perfect illustration of how a human-in-the-loop system can be designed to preserve critical skills. The key here is the distinction between passive oversight and active training.
In the context of my blog post, the airline industry’s approach to pilot training serves as a model for a “regime” that actively combats cognitive atrophy. Pilots don’t just sit back and watch the autopilot; they undergo rigorous, recurrent training in flight simulators where they are forced to handle rare, complex failures and fly the plane manually. This deliberate practice prevents the atrophy of their core flying skills, even when they rely on automation for most of their flights.
However, how much of the code being written in 4-5 year’s time will be actually written by us, without any AI inputs, my guess is that it will be barely a couple of lines per 10k lines of code.
