I honestly share a lot of the same thoughts and I now feel dumber the more i use AI to build out things for me. It's made me lazy tbh. And sadly, it also helps me do the things at my job faster and "better", but only because "better" works since "good enough" is all that's needed. I get pretty lost if I think about it too deeply...

That said, in response to this:

I am of the belief that there's no way that effort and time that goes into learning something like Rust will be wasted. You'll learn stuff and gather a sense for things that might not concretely be applied, but will be helpful when it comes to reasoning about whatever comes next language wise. Learning often is about the journey and not just the destination. I think it'd still be worth it.

Or at least ... that's what I tell myself now as I try to learn Zig.
