> To become proficient I need to write a lot of code, but the more I use LLMs, the less repetitions I get in. So in a way it feels like LLMs are going to make you a "worse" programmer by doing the work for you.

I've been experiencing this myself recently. I've been using co-pilot in some side projects. I've noticed myself getting more 'lazy' as I use it more.

Recently I used it when doing some old (2015) advent of code puzzles I hadn't done before. I would read the puzzle prompt and have a pretty good idea of what I wanted to do. I wrote out some comments for functions and co-pilot was able to write what I needed with minimal changes.

Even though I read through co-pilot's code and understood what it was doing I don't feel like I really retained anything from the time spent. If anything, I feel like co-pilot stunts my learning.
