Models don't learn. They retrain them periodically, but junior engineers learn much faster and constantly improve. If you stop learning, you will only be as good as the model.

I've been coding (software engineering, I guess) for close to 15 years. The models skill set is a comfortable L1 (intern), pushing L2 (junior). They are getting better, but at a snail pace compared to a human learning the same thing.

This was my biggest frustration with LLM based coding but Agent Skills have largely solved it.

While there’s a lot of room to improve them it’s a huge game changer for effectively coding harnesses.
