LLms dont help here either.
Part of learning is about struggle. Seems many here want to disregard that fact and just run to the LLM lmao. Yeah you can do that - the knowledge won't really stick.
The initial creativity is still with us, not the LLM. It's the Art/Craft thing - we have the Art, the machine does more of the Craft (and it always did do a fair amount of the Craft).
I'm seeing folks who couldn't (for whatever reason) work out how to code, starting to produce some amazing stuff with the LLM doing the coding now. It's their creativity, their project, their vision, still. The fact that they didn't write the code is meaningless.
From what I’ve seen, the ability to prompt quality output with AI is entirely proportional to experience and skill level.

In my direct experience, it's not my coding skills that I'm using for this. I don't even look at the code any more. It's my experience of developing stuff and managing projects that is enabling me to run the LLM better than a newbie [0]. Teaching someone to code so that they can run an LLM is probably not the most efficient way of doing this.
[0] though I have friends who can't code and are producing better stuff than I am, by just prompting and making mistakes.
