This really resonates with me, and I'm only a decade and change into my career. I use claude a lot day to day. I try to use it sensibly, making me more productive and produce better work. I'm also trying not to lose understanding along the way. I want to be able to actually talk to the conclusions I'm reaching.
I have colleagues that seem perfectly content to delegate too much to the agents, and it saddens me. It feels like there will be swaths of engineers that didn't train some of the critical thinking skills that I take for granted.
I certainly see it in slack discourse around anything more complicated than a feature implementation. Maybe I'm just cynical. Time will tell, I suppose.
