This is a massively important point. My dad took a programming course back in the day and had to use punchcards. High-level languages make code easier to understand and debug compared to gazing at a stack of "Do not fold, spindle or mutilate." LLMs are the opposite. If you only learn how to use LLMs, you are not going to be able to understand what's happening or why things aren't working.

I've found LLMs making inexplicable mistakes when writing statistical code, but the code will still run and return a confident result. If you can't look at the code, you won't see, e.g., your hourly time series being aggregated on a daily basis.
