Congratulations. This is my favorite aspect of this whole thing: LLM tooling that's helping new people break into programming by lowering the friction and learning curve.

But the friction and learning curve is what helps you understand what you’re doing. The friction is an integral part of the process.

The friction is why so many people never make it far up enough the learning curve to build something useful that solves their problems.

You could say the same thing about learning to fly a plane or play the piano. I’ve got no problem with people using llms to write useful utilities and programs for themselves, but it is leading us into a world where people are creating powerful things they don’t understand. That’s going to have consequences. We are already witnessing some of them.
