I can empathize with this question. When I go to learn something for my career I find myself asking how much time I should actually dedicate to it when a LLM could do so much better. I want to learn deeper and understand things deeply - but if my time could be spent instead on surface level things and using LLMs to fill in the gaps - it makes it difficult to motivate myself to find time. I still am trying to learn things deeply, I've had this course bookmarked for a while now and have gone through it a bit. I guess for me the core fear I have is that the programming field is fast paced. I could learn something deeply, but someone with a surface level understanding and using an LLM can maybe surpass me. Will an employer pick whoever understands something deeply, or whoever has the solution first? Maybe then the core question here is this: As LLMs improve, is it worth it to learn things deeply for your career, or is it better to gain a surface level understanding and defer to an LLM? There is also the argument that understanding something deeply will allow you to use an LLM much better than someone with a surface level understanding... but I still have that fear that that may not matter anymore. I'll still learn things for fun though, so at least I have that!
