Summary
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei advises young people not to learn programming solely for job stability, as AI can already handle most programming tasks. He encourages cultivating critical thinking, because as AI's ability to generate content increases, the ability to distinguish truth from falsehood becomes more valuable.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei answered: Should we still learn programming?
Learning to code for job stability — you’re learning the wrong thing. AI is already doing it.
But if AI does 95% and you do 5%, your productivity still increases 20x.

Flask author Armin Ronacher found that the tool-calling ability of the new Claude models (Opus 4.8, Sonnet 5) is degrading. The root cause is that RL post-training over-adapts to Claude Code's own tool schema, making alternative tool schemas increasingly difficult to generate correctly. The article reveals the phenomenon of models performing worse rather than better on specific tool-calling scenarios, offering an important caution for agent development.
