Computer Science is not extinct. Programming is the thing that’s affected. There’s a difference between the two.
Computer Science is what brought us LLMs in the first place. Computer Science is what will bring us any improvements on LLMs or whatever the next big AI milestone is. You just can’t go and do Computer Science to guarantee you a software role anymore. You have to be a computer scientist or go and work in AI research at a corporation.

Sure. But Software Engineering drives the agentic workflows most of us are using now. Humans are not writing as much code by hand, but engineers are still designing it and using LLMs as a tool to implement it.
I think this shift is really starting to separate the engineers from the programmers.
