That’s a very important thing to experience. There’s not always a quick fix or easy path. You can’t always patch existing stuff together or just wait until the problem goes away. And when a tool helps you too much, then is there really a point in what you’re doing? It’s not even a learning experience anymore. |

Have you seen the documentary about AlphaGo? After watching it, and seeing Lee Sedol just utterly devastated by losing to a computer, I felt like I too would surely feel the same thing in my life. I mean, surely Lee Sedol is a far more skilled Go player than I am a skilled programmer.
Anyway, sorry for the rambling. I agree - it's deeply important to _actually_ learn how things work. That's why I wouldn't recommend copilot to a junior dev. Unfortunately, the way things are going - those junior developers are going to use it anyways and I tend to be more of a realist than an idealist.
