Comment on Ask HN: Are LLMs useful or harmful when learning to program?

Comments

i would say depends. If you use it for writing the code, I will say yes. If you instead use it to discus how to aproach the problem I would say "no/not sure". One of the best ways to become a good developer is to learn from the code we write. On the other hand we also often need someone to speak with about the code we write or plan on writing. I think the best cause of action is that you write the code and then use LLM as a reviewer and someone to talk about writing code with.
