I have always had a problem, worse than most I think, where if I’m away from a language for a bit I lose my ability to write it quickly and competently, real quick.
It doesn’t matter if I was quite competent in it… the mechanical bits fade fast.
Doing llm assisted work is going to be like pouring bleach on my brain. I can feel it. The more I use it the worse it will be for me.
I can still formulate what I need, and problem solve just fine, but all the nuts and bolts evaporate.
There is a difference between understanding the shape of a solution and keeping the "finger memory" of a language alive
For sure. I just… I feel really really dumb every time I have to knock the rust off to use a language again.
