Problems that don't happen if you make everyone use claude code, as they should.
This is the era for boomers to get over their fear of the command line.
Easy to say, not so easy to actually get your mechanics, your project managers, and your business operations staff to get over that hurdle unless you’re willing to handhold them through the process of changing directories or explaining what an environment variable is to them. (This isn’t just boomers btw. Lots of young people have had the command line abstracted away from them their entire working lives)
That’s why some companies will lose competitiveness because basic AI literacy isn’t taught.

Weird take. Tech boomers started with tape or commandline. The ide only became the development environment of choice in the late 90s, firmly with genx and millennials.
Claude code is a terminal interface not a command line tool. More like vim than sed.
Visual BASIC was 1991. QuickBASIC, Borland Turbo Pascal, SmallTalk-80, NeXT InterfaceBuilder, all pre-1990, several well-pre-1990. Boomers absolutely had, and indeed devised, the IDE.
