For many, 2023 was the year that Artificial Intelligence, ChatGPT and other tools, really toss a stick in the wheel of CS education. There seems to be a rapid growth in unqualified teachers teaching Computer Science. I’m posting this early this year. My thinking is clear so why wait? People were in a tizzy.
