People said much the same thing about high level languages, interpreters, etc. Yet BASIC and later the web is what really got me into programming and later got me interested in learning the fundamentals. Not sure I ever would have gotten there without those “shortcuts”.
I don’t know what will be the most effective way to learn for the next generation in a time where everything is changing so rapidly. I’m not sure it even matters either, ultimately I think curious people will remain curious and learn the necessary skills eventually, those who don’t will not listen to our advice anyway and always go for the path of least resistance.
One good thing about using (agentic) LLMs is that nothing they create is a blackbox, and the LLM is equally good at explaining what it creates. At the very least this beats learning with closed source software, where a lot of the knowledge is hidden to you unless you know the right people or manage to find/purchase the right documentation.
