That's not how a brain works.
People forget the language they grew up reading/writing/speaking simply because they stopped using it.
They actually do, and unless you talk in code this is more akin to a second or third language, not the one you grew up with. I have personally noticed how after a year or so of using the rng machine I simply could not code without AI, and am now lucky to be rehabilitating myself. There are already serious studies about the deskilling effect, this IS how it works. "AI" (meaning the LLMs now thrown at every thinking problem) is a lazy enshittifying tool.
That's... precisely how the brain works.
We're not talking language specifics here. We're talking about core principles of software engineering - principles that can be applied easily to other aspects of life. We're talking about patterns, concepts, best practices.
Things that one needs to utilise daily even with AI generated code - that is, unless you're checking in whatever the AI writes with zero review.
