Oh ok that's different! From your comment I assumed that it was Claude Code doing the implementation while you only gave it high level concepts (e.g. "add a generational GC"). But if you use it as a resource to clarify concepts while you write the implementation yourself, then it's no different than having a tutor who helps you understand so you can do the homework yourself.
Given the article, I don't think most people are using LLMs in a "tutor" fashion to learn how to do the homework, they're effectively having their homework done by the tutor.
