I'm getting back into programming after a couple of years other roles. I have to learn a framework I haven't worked before and get to know new paradigms I never used. In a way, I'm feeling lucky that my company currently explicitly bans the use of AI tools on our code bases (for good reasons). This forces me to write all my own code and understand what it's doing. The only thing I use AI tools for is to explain some new concepts or paradigms in ways I can understand. What's also great is that I can throw some code from Stack or Github in there and get it explained. I'm glad these tools exist, since they make learning much easier, but they're also a trap if you depend on them in stead of your own knowledge.
