Is Critical Thinking the New Coding?
When Kant urged his readers to "dare to know" in 1784, he was challenging people to stop handing their thinking over to others. More than two centuries later, Helen Rantsevitch asks whether that challenge has ever mattered more. In this article, Helen tests a hypothesis: if coding defined the internet age, critical thinking will define the age of AI. To explore it, she brought together more than a dozen CTOs, educators, recruiters and talent leaders from organisations including Deliveroo, Hays, TCS and The Open University. They rarely agree. Some have all but stopped hiring junior developers. Others say nothing fundamental has changed, because they always hired for curiosity and communication rather than technical skill. Yet one theme keeps returning. As AI writes more of the code, human value lies in judgement: framing the right problem, questioning the output and spotting when the machine is confidently wrong. The piece blends philosophy, real hiring practice and a Socratic challenge for the modern CTO. It is a thoughtful read for anyone shaping the next generation of tech talent.
The Learner's Edge in the AI Era
AI tools are now part of everyday working life, and entry-level roles are feeling the pressure. In this article, Blessed Pepple, Founder at Setlwork, argues that technical skill matters more than ever, because it is what helps you spot when AI output looks right but isn't. He then sets out five human capabilities, drawn from established research, that help learners act on that judgement: reflective practice, emotional intelligence, resilience, self-efficacy and adaptive communication. Each comes with a practical tip to try.
