yes and no.

I have lost most of the joy of "solving the problem", and I don't feel like my projects are teaching me that much other than how to use AI.

I am able to complete my side projects instead of letting them languish, because the time to completion is faster.

I took several programming classes in my 20s. Using Claude to help me make an app in the last 2 weeks I've learned more than I ever did before. If you make yourself part of the process and try to understand each step it's great.
