I totally disagree with it too and think its no different than using a book or SO from the past. As a Junior you copy paste many more lines of codes that you don't full appreciate and sometimes it simply just takes time of doing that to absorb the knowledge.
- pdimitar 2y agoI don't think we disagree at all btw. IMO we all agree understanding of what the spat-out code actually does is mandatory and absolutely is NOT optional. The rest are really just details. I agree that nowadays LLMs can fill in for SO and Reddit.
- infecto 2y agoDefinitely we agree. I was only stating that the OP's opinion of don't use any LLM for the first 3 years could be disastrous.
