We miscommunicated. First, I think LLMs are a problem for newcomers in general, there is a lot of intuition that I saw that you build while tinkering at 3 A.M which makes programming easier in the long run, at least for me. For someone who invested enough time on that, such as you, can easily spot where LLMs fail and already have the knowledge to make the cogs turn. I clarified where I think LLMs are harmful at a sibling comment. This is where I think LLMs obstruct learning. 'Domain knowledge' is an important keystone for agentic coding that bypass this.
As for 'looking cool', I meant the code with its fancy formats and highlighting, no snark intended :)
LLMs are a great tool for building, especially for those who could conceivably be engineer team leads/project managers. For greenfield learning, its sub-par unless its guided well.
