This tracks with my experience as a more "senior" dev using Copilot/Cursor. I can definitely see these tools being less useful, or more misleading, for someone just starting out in the field.
One worry I have is what will happen to my own skills over time with these tools integrated into my workflow. I do think there's a lot of value in going through the loop of struggling with -> developing a better understanding of technologies. While it's possible to maintain this loop with coding assistants, they're undoubtedly optimized towards providing quick answers/results.
I'm able to accomplish a lot more with these coding assistants now, but it makes me wonder what growth I'm missing out on by not always having to do it the "hard" way.
