what if i try to write code, and when i get stuck, i ask the llm why my method or my syntax failed and it tells me how i ducked up? like a tutor but with forced infinite patience?

    Sorry for the large block of text, but here’s my answer and reasoning; That causes you to lose your ability to problem solve, which is very important for programming. I started programming years before vibe coding was a thing. When you run into a problem you reread your code, look at the docs, search/ask on a forum, or go for a walk a come back later. I’ve spent days trying to solve problems many times, especially when I first started programming or am working on something particularly tough. That’s very normal and over time you get better and learn to recognize those problems and are able to solve them faster. If someone else or an LLM does it for you, you lose out on foundational problem solving knowledge, which makes doing more complicated stuff later on much more difficult. You never really learn if you don’t have to do it yourself and even if you have learned, not doing it for a long enough time will regress your skills.
