I think it's very easy to harm your learning by leaning into LLMs.
What I don't believe is that it HAS to be like this. Maybe it's my natural optimism showing through here, but I'm confident it's possible to accelerate rather than slow down your learning progress with LLMs, if you're thoughtful about how you apply them.
An open question for me is how feasible it is to teach people how to teach themselves effectively using this new technology.
I have a core belief that everything is learnable, if people are motivated to learn. I have no idea how to help instill that motivation in people who don't yet have it though!

It's not really an open question. We've had a huge amount of content on the internet including documentation, tutorials, example code, and actual online courses available for years and in the end most people don't learn effectively when presented with that information and left to themselves. LLMs are no different.
