There was a really good article on this here a few days ago that didn't get much traction. It was about how programming is a learning feedback loop and because of that there are good and bad ways to use LLMs:
"The readymade components we use are essentially compressed bundles of context—countless design decisions, trade-offs, and lessons are hidden within them. By using them, we get the functionality without the learning, leaving us with zero internalized knowledge of the complex machinery we've just adopted. This can quickly lead to sharp increase in the time spent to get work done and sharp decrease in productivity."
