In this special episode of Mainframe Voices, we explore a timely question: AI is acting as a 24/7 mentor for the next generation of mainframers, but what part of the mainframe can only be learned from a human?Our guests share where AI can help with learning, documentation, and practice, and where human judgment, context, and lived experience remain essential. From navigating complex production issues to understanding organisational culture and making judgment calls, hear how people continue to shape the next generation of mainframe professionals.
