Here are 5 skills students should practise as AI tools become more capable.
OpenAI positions Astra for software engineering, computer use and cybersecurity—work that can span code, terminals, browsers and other apps.
Define acceptance criteria, scope and a clear definition of done before asking an agent to change code.
Branches, commits and pull requests help you see exactly what an AI agent changed—and what should not be merged.
Run automated checks, test edge cases and perform browser QA. Generated code can look correct while still failing real users.
Learn files, processes, package managers, logs and environment variables so agent-run commands are understandable—not magic.
Check authentication, authorization, input handling, secrets and destructive operations before accepting AI-generated changes.
Use AI to strengthen engineering judgment, not replace programming fundamentals.
