You sound like an active learner who could become a top programmer even without LLMs. Most students will take the path of least resistance.

There is absolutely a thing where self-motivated autodidacts can benefit massively more from these new tools than people who prefer structured education.
Paradoxically, those self-motivated autodidacts will have to be without the stress and pressure of delivering things on time, and thus get largely limited to recreational programmers who don't have as much skin in the game in the first place.
Trust me, I am under enormous stress and pressure right now, more than at any other time in my life. I’m not someone sitting on a mountaintop, free of all cares. I’m someone trapped in a box that’s sinking under the waves, desperately trying to find a way to escape.
I approach problems with curiosity because I know that this is the only way I’ll find a way to survive and thrive again.
