You could also use LLMs to help you understand things, rather than doing them for you and hoping you don't need to understand anything, which is typically a bad strategy.

LLMs can be pretty great to help you learn. You do have to watch out for when they're teaching you something wrong, especially if it's something like history, where it could just be making things up completely and it's harder to tell than with pure logic like computer science.

Agreed! I’ve been able to walk up to codebases and have them help explain parts that I would’ve had to gdb though previously.

I suppose my grand parent comment is unpopular but I really do think understanding is paramount in software that’s critical. LLMs are tools, use them to help not hurt :)
