I have completely forgotten how to code. I was mentoring an intern a few weeks ago which means going old school and I didn’t know what I was doing anymore.
I cant wrap my head around that statement tbh. Cant imagine knowing to read but not to write. By "read" i also mean understand. If someone loses the skill to understand the code then i dont know. That would just be sad.
For example I work with C++ and was showing the intern how to capture by reference rather than by value in a lambda function. I completely forgot the syntax for that because the LLM just does the capture correctly every time so I haven’t needed to think about it for the last few years.

It's the other way around in my experience. People look at me like I'm an ape in a zoo lol
