having an llm produce code isn't learning how to code, it's learning how to use a tool to produce code

maybe that doesn't matter though, I suspect many developers will no longer look at all the code they produce either

Many nuances and “it depends” here in my experience. Is learning git part of “learning to code”? Some learn, others don’t.

Of course hammering away prompts aren’t learning at all.

indeed, I know some great developers that use git but haven't ever learned it
