Yeah, that's one of the things I've been mulling over.

However, in a way, this discussion isn't new. Developers these days in general don't start with writing assembly any more (which I actually did when I was 15) and so don't really understand how a CPU works. That has caused some of the same arguments. But has it become a problem really?

These days, developers start at a higher level of thinking about writing programs and go from there. AI code generators just raise that level even higher.

To be honest, it would be really cool to have something like a compiler that can understand your code well enough to generate optimized assembly instead of interpreted javascript.
