The Learning Loop and LLMs

"The ability to phrase our intent in natural language and receive working code does not replace the deeper understanding that comes from learning each language's design, constraints, and trade-offs."

Loved this article about how coding agents (do not) transform the developer role.
The real capability of developers—our ability to respond to change—comes not from how fast we can produce code, but from how deeply we understand the system we are shaping.
Coding agents make it easier to explore ideas, to set things up, to translate intent into code across many specialized languages.
But if we don't keep on learning, we will hit the maintenance cliff sooner or later.
