    I knew more than a few 17 year olds who dropped out of high school to work full time. One was emancipated. A few eventually got their GEDs. It’s not an easy life, but it’s reality for a lot of people.

    If he’s capable of handling that level of responsibility I don’t see any reason he shouldn’t be allowed to. If he’s not capable, then the only person being harmed is his employer. Only thing I’m concerned about is whether or not he’s being compensated fairly.

      Yes but I think the abnormality here is the guy trying to sell this as the new normal, not even to mention all the associated problems with basing an entire code base on AI (which is a different problem than boasting about getting kids to write your whole code base but related)
