Don’t Let AI Erase The Next Generation Of Dev Leaders

Don’t let AI erase the next generation of dev leaders

As AI tools take over more routine coding work, some companies are cutting early-career dev roles — a short-sighted move that could quietly erode the next generation of tech leaders if we aren’t careful.

  1. Great tutorial!

    Everything works right out of the box except for the following minor details

    – move extends directive to top of file in game/templates/main.html
    – remove extraneous backslashes from game/consumers.py
    self.room_name = self.scope\[‘url_route’\][‘kwargs’][‘room_code’]

    1. none of this works for me…
      GEThttp://localhost:8081/favicon.ico
      [HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found 0ms]

      GETws://localhost:8081/ws/play/xxx/
      [HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found 7ms]

      Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at ws://localhost:8081/ws/play/xxx/. game.js:5:17
      Socket is closed. Reconnect will be attempted in 1 second. game.js:132:17

  2. Great tutorial, in addition to Silkentrance updates, for django 4 I had to make the following changes:

    – game.js – change event.path[0] to event.composedPath()[0]
    – routing.py – change django.conf.urls import url to from django.urls import re_path
    – routing.py – change url to re_path in websocket_urlpatterns

    Thank you for putting this together!
