It can help you become a better coder if you know how to code. What it doesn't help you with is teaching you how it works. For example, the first time I learned VS MVC, none of it made sense, especially looking at my leads codebase. He had to walk me through a lot of it. Could I have figured it out on my own? Probably. Would I have been able to in the same amount of time as my lead showing me? Absolutely not.
