Oh 100%, there's definitely an important trade-off, and it's important to know. But there was definitely a cultural disdain and judgment for "why are you using python to create a simple side project - C is superior".
It's still important to know both, and especially when I began working on aspects like multithreading I found my basis in C helped me learn far easier, but i'm definitely more supportive of the ship it mindset.
It's better to have a bad side project online than have none - you learn far more creating things then never making things, and if you need LLMs and Python to do that, fine!
I think it depends on how you approach these tools, personally I still quite focus on learning general, repeatable concepts from LLMs as i'm an idiot who needs different terms repeated 50 times in similar ways to understand them properly!
