I wrote another post! https://chris.eidhof.nl/post/learning-in-the-age-of-llms/ . It's a short story about going back to typing code by hand without assistance.

@chris@m.objc.io I think learning needs to be slow. This is how our brains work. If we accelerate the process, the learning becomes shallow. To be honest, I don't see a problem here. But I don't need to sell courses. So I only have to figure out how I like to learn.

@chris@m.objc.io I recently read Amusing Ourselves To Death. It contains a section on how TV was used to in education. The subject matter was chosen so that it would make compelling TV not because of its educational value. The framing of your question appears to have the same dynamic. Flipping the question so that the learning is the primary focus and not the technology might be more illuminating, e.g. ‘can LLMs be useful in improving learning outcomes?’ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amusing_Ourselves_to_Death

@chris@m.objc.io Why do you find it hard to imagine that doing it by hand is the best way?
