THE LEARNING LOOP AND LLMS
Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter
Software development is fundamentally a learning process that cannot be automated away, even with advanced LLMs. While LLMs can be helpful for brainstorming and reducing initial setup friction, they cannot replace the essential learning loop of observing, experimenting, and applying knowledge that developers must go through to build real expertise. True learning requires hands-on experience with failures and discoveries that AI cannot provide.
