A toy whistle from Cap'n Crunch cereal made almost exactly the 2600-hertz tone AT&T used on its phone lines, and a phone phreaker took his nickname from it...

The toy whistle packed into Cap'n Crunch boxes in 1963 emitted a 2600-hertz tone, according to Wikipedia's article on John Draper, and Wikipedia says that is the frequency AT&T's long lines used to indicate that a trunk line was available. A cereal prize ended up speaking the phone company's own control language.

Nobody planned it.

I'm just curious how you teach people software engineering now, when all the senior and principal engineers are just using the LLM generative code demons and harnesses. Like back in Data Structures, sure everyone knew there were existing sorting libraries (built directly in if you use Java, C#, etc.) but everyone understood the point of the class was learning how to write your own first; and then at the end the professor compares all the stuff you wrote over the semester to what's built-in.

I suspect the really good students will still write code by hand to gain understanding, and the most any professor can say is "You're only going to get out of a program what you put into it. If you use LLMs for everything, you're not going to get a lot out of it."

I suspect the standard handwritten test will be the ultimate answer to who actually did the work. We might see more assignments that are required to be done in labs too. I tried asking one friend who became a professor, but he's does more research now and hasn't had to teach a class in a while.
