Ask HN: How do you balance GenAI productivity with learning as a junior/mid dev?

I’m in my early-mid career, and I’m struggling to balance between the benefits of playing with agentic coding tools now and losing fundamentals of coding.

It feels like senior engineers gained their skills through hands-on programming, and while these new tools can be powerful for those who learn to use them well, I sometimes struggle to balance keeping up with productivity while feeling like I’m missing out on deeper learning.

Any suggestions on how to balance between these two at this point? Would love to hear both povs!
