I like Thomas, but I find his arguments include the same fundamental mistake I see made elsewhere. He acknowledged that the tools need an expert to use properly, and as he illustrated, he refined his expertise over many years. He is of the first and last generation of experienced programmers who learned without LLM assistance. How is someone just coming out of school going to get the encouragement and space to independently develop the experience they need to break out of the "vibe coding" phase? I can almost anticipate an interjection along the lines of "well we used to build everything with our hands and now we have tools etc, it's just different" but this is an order of magnitude different. This is asking a robot to design and assemble a shed for you, and you never even see the saw, nails, and hammer being used, let alone understand enough about how the different materials interact to get much more than a "vibe" for how much weight the roof might support.

Feels like coding with and without autocomplete to me. At some point you are still going to need to understand what you are doing, even if your IDE gives you hints about what all the functions do.

Sure, it's a different level, but it's still more or less the same thing. I don't think you can expect to learn how to code by only ever using LLMs, just like you can't learn how to code by only ever using intellisense.
