March 25, 2026
Computer science has always been about raising the level of abstraction to make programming more productive
In recent months, a new narrative has gained traction: AI will “eat” computer science. The reasoning seems straightforward—if AI can generate code from natural language, why would we still need computer scientists? In contrary: Computer science has always been about raising the level of abstraction to make programming more productive. AI is making computer science more essential than ever.
