> I wonder if this will make classical education more valuable (after graduation you're starting as high value producer)
I haven't noticed a correlation between formal education and the people that I would describe as "high value producers". That could be a bias because the median person without a degree doesn't get hired at all, but if we're removing mid-tier and below devs from the work pool, that's going to eliminate most of the people I know with CS or SE degrees.

I agree, but I would argue that people without formal education have to usually work their way up.
Basically, if I'm a high school drop out, then I'm very unlikely to land a job at FAANG right away. Quite possibly I will have to start in some low value job to get some credibility. But if AI eats most of these jobs, then it also removes the possibility for the high school drop outs to move up.
