> Yes, that’s true and very cool but you’re an expert. Where do the next generation you’s come from?

I agree that this is a concern, and I even worry about it for myself. Did I miss the opportunity to add another brick to the foundation of my expertise because Claude helped me out? Would I be marginally better at solving the next problem if I'd worked through the week I saved?

Even if the concern isn't some specific knowledge I'd have gained - did I lose out on a few "reps" to build grit, determination? Am I training myself to only like easy solutions that come out of Claude? Are there problems I won't want to solve because they're too difficult for this new "augmented" workflow?

I don't know the answers - I can only say that I do care, and at the very least I'm aware that there are new dynamics affecting my work and expertise that are worthy of consideration.
