I feel bad for anyone learning to code now. The temptation to just LLM it must be sooooo high.
But at the same time, having personalised StackOverflow without the negative attitude at your fingertips is super helpful, provided you also do the work of learning.
> personalised StackOverflow without the negative attitude
Phrased in that way, it does sound very tempting.
Over the past few years it's become pretty much a waste of time to post on SO (well, in my experience, anyway).
But wouldn't you learn if you actually have to enter and test that code, even if it's LLM generated, every day? Maybe you learn bad models, which can happen from SO as well, but you do learn. I'm more worried that the juniors won't have this opportunity anymore, or rather, they won't be needed anymore. So when I retire, what? Unless AI gets better and replaces everybody, then it won't matter at all what and how you learned.
Don't feel bad: LLMs make it so much easier to learn thinks without getting stuck at frustrating nonsense, yet there remain enough hurdles so that you need to develop resilience.
