I get the idea, and I've considered using AI similarly, but one thing I realized: Being stuck is often the time where you learn the most. (And when you find out how to un-stick yourself is part of the most enjoyable parts of engineering).

Having the immediate aid of an LLM in a lot of ways also does hurt your reasoning capabilities in my experience. I'm curious how you would address this.

I believe this was in a pre-AI world. With AI you don't expect developers to dig through thousands of websites to find out why something isn't working. I will just ask ChatGPT because it saves me time. In the context of learning, students usually look at answers directly because they don't have a lot of other options currently. with Edmigo, we're trying to give them hints instead of telling them the answer directly so they can learn to solve on their own.
