n_u's point about LLMs as mentors for Rust's borrow checker matches my experience. The error messages are famously helpful, but sometimes you need someone to explain the why.

I've noticed the same pattern learning other things. Having an on-demand tutor that can see your exact code changes the learning curve. You still have to do the work, but you get unstuck faster.

Storngly agreed. Or ask it to explain the implications of using different ownership models. I love to ask it for options, to what if scenarios out. It's been incredibly helpful for learning rust.
