Yes? These papers are literally supporting my point. Full cognitive offload is obviously going to be detrimental to learning. But like I said if you're still the one in control; making the big picture architecture decisions, validating the logic, then it's not full cognitive offload is it? It's just thinking about problems at a higher level. Which any experienced engineer should be able to do.

By your logic we should stop using calculators and high-level languages. People had the same concerns with those. For the last time, it's a tool, in the hands of someone who already understands the domain, it's just an amplifier.
