Agreed; but isn’t this on the same continuum as programming assembly -> IDE autocomplete -> LLM autocomplete? You’re still writing code, but generally adding abstractions has been net good (unsure of this opinion tbf, but that’s my hunch)

I'd argue the best way to learn is to read a lot of production-quality code to get a sense of structure and best practices in any given language.
