Would you mind sharing some of the ways that you leverage LLMs in your learning?
Some of mine:
* Converse with the LLM on deeper concepts
* use the `/explain` hook in VSCode for code snippets I'm struggling with
* Have it write blog-style series on a topic, replete with hyperlinks
I have gotten in some doom loops though when having it try to directly fix my code, often because I'm asking it to do something that is not feasible, and its sycophantic tendencies tend to amplify this. I basically stopped using agentic tools to implement solutions that use tech I'm not already comfortable with.
I've used it for summarization as well, but I often find that a summary of a man page or RFC is insufficient for deeper learning. It's great for getting my feet wet and showing me gaps in my understanding, but always end up having to read the spec at the end
