I am in a similar situation where I needed to jump in on a python Django codebase for a side gig I'm helping a friend out on. Since I have no interest in using Django in the future I decided to Claude my way trough the project - I did use Django like 10 years ago, am fairly competent with python and used rails recently - so I thought how bad can this be. By the time I had something cobbled together with Claude I decided to get a friend who's competent with Django to review my code and boy did I feel like an amateur. Not only did the code not use good practices/patterns (eg. not even using viewsets from DRF), I couldn't even follow in the conversation because I knew nothing about these concepts. So I spent a day reading docs and looking at a standard example of a idiomatic setup and it made my project a lot better. I've had this experience at multiple points in the project - not reading the API docs and letting Claude walk me through integration left me stuck when Claude failed, design decisions. So I would say Claude is useful for simple execution when you know what you are expecting, relying on it to learn sounds like a short term gain for problems down the line. At a point where LLMs can reliably lookup sources and reason trough something to explain it there will be no coding left, but I feel we aren't close to that with current tech.
