Not to call you out specifically but I cannot believe people still use this as an argument in 2026. As if someone writing bad code while at least trying to learn how to write good code, and a prompter prompting a computer to write bad code that leads to the person learning nothing from the exercise are at all analogous.
I can virtually guarantee the bar for code can go so much lower as we rapidly deskill programmers.
We actually have a fabulous opportunity to generate much higher quality code products with AI.
And even in your case, with the eager AI student -- AI code education is much better than reading docs and struggling with tools. Students can now focus on the important software topics.
I remember my intro C++ classes and how many students stumbled on pointless & transient tooling , that was completely orthogonal to their proper engineering skills.
Now students can focus on their area of expertise and produce the highest quality possible without any resource restrictions.
