What's amusing to me here is it's a dev comparing the "old approach" of learning via StackOverflow to learning via LLMs. My generation of programmers disrespected SO as dumbing down learning because so many devs were just copy/pasting the top answer instead of understanding it - it was faster so of course they did. LLMs are the same: worse but faster. So the article is not wrong, but it doesn't realise they're fighting a losing battle, one that we fought & lost already. https://nmn.gl/blog/ai-and-learning
@sinbad I'm still struggling with the author's cognitive dissonance on display (which is weird because the author should struggle with it instead)
- thinks "AI" makes things worse
- builds a tool that's going to make things worse
- thinks word salad machines can be "interrogated"
as for the battle, I don't think many fought it at all - I have but it's incredibly draining and in the end you only get to fire one person
requiring devs by law to understand what the code does might be easier
