Fixing a non-trivial bug is a great way to learn - assuming they don’t give up.

By virtue of being generators subtly broken stuff, LLMs are well positioned to create very nice learning material.

Same thing about growing the project - having to deal with something too big for AI is a very valuable experience.

And, in my experience, some of the purely human made codebases are strictly worse than LLM-made :-)

Isn’t that how a lot of us learned — buy typing the code out of back of a magazine? Then spending hours trying to debug a typo somewhere.

I didn’t realize how close LLMs are to the old magazines. Let it give you a seed, then use that springboard to learn everything else.
