But hey, don't listen to me, not like I've got decades of experience as a software developer or like I now use agentic AI extensively in my day to day work... I'm obviously just some random idiot who lives under a rock and knows nothing.
I'm the wrong person to ask for career advice. My tendency is to say if your child is actually good with computers and passionate about working with them, they'll always be able to find a well paying job in the market. The people who don't really have the talent but got into the field because they heard it's going to be good money... I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of them do end up getting displaced.
On the question of whether or not you should get your kid this little gadget - you absolutely should. It's an absolutely fantastic way for your kid to find out if they're the sort of person who actually has the aptitude for developing software, or even for working with actual electronics through the GPIO port.

If this were true AI you might have a point, but were a LONG way away from that, if we can ever even get there.
This is a tool and people who know how to use the tool are needed. People who know more and are better at using the tool get better results than those that don't. Even the best tool makes mistakes, and has issues.
When a tool gets better people learn how to use it to do better more compex things, but it's not elimiating people entirely. Less, probably, but that just cuts those that aren't as good out. People who are great learn to use the tool and do things people never thought were posisble, but no one who is using AI seriously and knows what they are doing thinks it's true AI and will do work without people involved at all.
