Prompting, especially for code, is not too difficult of a skill to pick up, but the ability to A understand syntax and B develop the way of thinking is much harder.

I think the only way to learn to code is to really limit the use of AI (obvs can speed up some things, but never let him copy and paste from it)

I don't really think there is a substitute for encouraging him to push through without AI tbh.

When he eventually start's vibe coding, it will be like putting a v8 in a Ferrari instead of a VW golf.
