Here's my current rule of thumb: If you have successfully built a couple projects using agentic tooling and Claude 4 or similar models: you are doing a fine job of keeping up. Otherwise, you are at least a generation behind.

Your FOMO threats are way too obvious, and I'm not falling for it . I'm behind you in C++ because I don't use AI? That's ridiculous.

It may not be as ridiculous as you think. I have 25 years of experience with Python, and the generative AI tooling is teaching me useful things in Python when I work with it.
