Generative AI and CS Education

I have spent most of my career working on computer science (CS) education whether teaching undergraduate CS or managing technical education for software engineers at Google. In the early 1990s, when Pascal was the language of choice, I began teaching CS1 and CS2 at Stanford. Over the next few years, I saw the transition from Pascal to C to object-oriented programming. I also saw the pace at which we had to consistently update our course materials and projects, whether it was in the introductory courses or later electives such as graphics or compilers. Languages, software frameworks, libraries, APIs, and so forth change rapidly.
