I think this is not a good idea or suggestion at all.

If i use google maps to find my way around, i'm faster by a lot. I also do remember things despite google maps doing the work for me.

Use Code assistent as much as possible but make sure to read and understand what you get and try to write it yourself even if you just write it from a second window.

In this age and pace, writing code will change relevant in the next few years anyway

You (a SWE) using google maps is a bit different than a cab driving relying on google maps. The former is fine, the latter could be concerning.

I'd argue that coding assistants for a SWE hinders their ability to build subject matter expertise.
