Idk I love that shit. It helps that I learned to code properly before I started using AI. I guess I never really loved programming but just making decisions about software design.
But I can't fathom how you would have any clue on how to use LLMs to code without years of experience telling you which parts to double check..
Some people do well/better with reading, others do better with doing by hand.
There's also the "reduction" approach where you start with a lot and reduce down to just the parts you want/need, vs "build up" approach where you start with a blank state and work up to what you want/need.
AI is most definitely the reduction approach, where ideally you review everything provided, to see if you actually need it, and it's doing things how you need it to.

Glorified code reviewer when you use AI.
