I’m interested in how people working in tech are avoiding skill atrophy in this LLM age?

We’ve all seen both sides of the argument spectrum, with “Let them atrophy, LLMs are the future, just look at the abacus!” to “I don’t use LLMs, they make mistakes and get in the way”. But the reality for many is that LLMs give a real performance boost and take on many tasks, even if they do make mistakes and need babysitting.

I fall on the side of caution in letting skills fall behind, there are too many unknowns in how much LLMs will drive workplaces in the medium to long term and what skills will be used, so I’m wondering how you keep your existing skills from atrophying when tempted with the “make it so” button?
