    What does education look like 2027 and onwards? My son is graduating soon and will major in Computer Science, with a secondary Art degree.

    I have no idea how it will feel to be forced to write code and learn data structures, and SQL, and infrastructure, when it's all right there in 15 seconds with the AI agent.

    Does anyone have any experience with this in 2026 specifically? How are the kids doing?

    At least with a medical degree you HAVE to study, and memorize. It's part of the job.
