> I read loads of books, but nothing you read in a book makes much sense until you do it yourself
Yeah, totally agree. Same is true for LLMs. These models have all the information. I use it like an interactive text book. If I just let it do the coding, I don’t learn. When I want to learn something, I type it in; I run cargo. I will ask the LLM “what the hell does that mean”, and then I’ll fix it. That’s not I how I produce code these days, but that’s how I learn. I dont ship code that I don’t understand, and if I don’t understand it, or I’m even suspicious, then I go on a learning binge.
How I used to learn was to wait for a sale on udemy and buy like the top 10 courses on whatever it was. One would be useful. Two might have useful sections. Seven would be garbage. I don’t need that now.
