100% agree.

In the middle ground:

I'm putting together exercises for a C/Systems programming class I'm teaching in the fall.

Partway through this, for some reason [cough procrastination cough], I thought it would be fun to implement them in Scheme. My Scheme was already poor, and what meager skills I had are completely rusty. I used Claude to great effect as a tutor for that, but didn't have it code any of the solutions at all, of course. I could tell I was leveling up fast as I coded the things up.

Gotta use it in the right way if one wants to sharpen ones skills.
