In addition to making people stupid, I wonder what affect will LLMs like Claude will have on programmers? How will new programmers learn if companies start using Claude?

Has anyone found an effective way to pair-up and "learn" the syntax faster/better compared to not using AI?

I've written a lot of code in the past, but recently started doing more with golang... and have been using AI for an assist, but at the end of the day (and enough reiterations) - it creates readable and maintainable code. But (unfortunately), I don't think I could rewrite it.

I was contemplating seeing how I could change my workflow, so I'd write the code, but AI would offer fast guidance.
