indeed, I work at the Uni, I grew up learning languages that are now almost in disuse (I mean for good reasons... ehm, Perl), and learn new by using them, while building things with them. I'm not going to lie, claude-code it's an amazing tools, before I had to spend weeks to build things out of my comfort zone (eg a js interface), now I took a dead project I made in 2018 in an ancient version of angularJS (it took months for me to get it to just work) and I gave it to it as input; in 10 minutes it rebuilt the project from scratch in a modern stack and now I can just ask to add components by prompting the desired outcome... on the other end I gave a python framework I am developing, and it did the most dumb things ever imaginable, every time I ask to do something new it is so verbose that it really discourage reviewing it... anyway I'm digressing, more importantly I see the new generation of students replying on vibe coding for everything, they will learn nothing

@frafav honestly my opinion (as a former teacher) is that LLMs are absolute disasters for learning... even what you are saying it's amazing for: Taking weeks to build something out of your comfort zone? That's exactly what learning is
