I cannot say anything for who have to learn literally from scratch. But as a mature (very...) dev I can tell that learning how to use agents is no different than learning any other tool in the history of mankind. Is not less noble less hard or less of a craft. It's software engineer. As usual.

I'm a new dev, a VERY new dev, but I see it as a crutch to rely on AI beyond helping you learn and augment weaknesses until you can improve your abilities. I guess my opinion may change in time but I just don't like the idea of being overly reliant on AI for anything. A tool, not a replacement.
