Perhaps something went wrong along the career path of a developer? Personally during my education there is a severe lack of actual coding done mid lectures, especially any sort of showcase of tools that are available. We didn't even get taught how to use debuggers, I see late year students still struggle how to do basic navigation in a terminal.

And the biggest irony is that the "scariest" projects we had at our university ended up being maybe 500-1000 lines of code, things really must go back to hands on programming with real time feedback from a teacher. LLM's only output what you ask and won't really suggest concepts used by professionals unless you go out of your way to ask for it, it all seems like a vicious cycle even though meaningful code blocks can range along 5 to 100 lines which. When I use LLM's I just get information burn out trying to dig through all that info or code
