Interestingly many here fail to note that development of code is a lot about debugging, not only about writing. Is also about being able to dig/search/grok the code, which is like... reading it.
It is the debugging part to me, not only the writing, that actually teaches you what IS right, and what not. Not the architectural work, not the LLM spitting code part, not the deployment, but the debugging of the code and integration. THIS is what teaches you, writing alone teaches you nothing... you can copy by hand programs and understand zero of what they do unless inspecting intermediate results.
To hand-craft a house is super romantic and nice, etc. Is a thing people did for a lifetime for ages, not alone usually - with family and friends. But people today live in houses/apartments that had their foundations produced by automated lines (robots) - the steel, the mixture for the concrete, etc. And people yet live in the houses built this way, designed with computer which automated the drawing. I fail to understand while this is bad?
