Screenshot of text: “Whenever I write code, I'm also reading the code and rebuilding my mental model of how everything works. If a bot writes the code for me I still need to do the work of building mental models and I'm no longer getting it for 'free' from writing code. I'd need a separate practice, something like review++, to keep on top of it. Just reading code doesn't work that well, in the same way that reviewing your highlighted notes is not actually prepping you for an exam.”
