I genuinely do not understand this. You can totally still do that for learning purposes.

The only thing you cannot do anymore is show off such projects. The portfolio of mini-tutorials is definitely a bygone concept. I actually like that part of how the culture has changed.

Another interesting challenge is to set yourself up to outperform the LLM. Golf with it. LLM can do a parser? Okay, I'll make a faster one instead. Less lines of code. There's tons of learning opportunities in that.

That's not true. There are also unexplored problems which the AI doesn't have enough training data to be useful.
