It’s funny, I’m the exact opposite. I’ve tackled projects at scales I could never have done before, and learned more than I would have.

My actual coding ability is probably lower, but I’ve learned so much about music theory and production, CAD, and statistics. All because my hobby projects can go so much further than before.

Isn't there a risk that this learning is too superficial to actually stay around and impact your thinking in the long run?

How I experience it at least, there is no free lunch. Something that gives you knowledge and experience will almost by definition be painful and uncomfortable.

We use AI because it is faster, but that speed has a consequence.

Will that knowledge stick? Given that you blasted through many things relatively quick?
