I use LLMs as a coding assistant. I don't vibecode. The result is that I'm actually improving my skills much faster and better than before, while also working far more productive.
I was concerned once I started using agents and built a tool that I use a lot when I'm building that helps me engage thoughtfully with what I'm co-creating with Agents called Intraview.
Allows Claude to create code tours I can navigate with the Agent, give feedback, and iterate together. It's a nice inner-loop step to internalize what's changing and why.
The big thing for me was switching off LLM autocomplete. I found myself typing a few characters then hovering my finger over Tab while I waited for it to catch up, instead of just typing a line I already knew how to write. So now I only use an LLM by choice when I actually need it.
Staying in the loop and learning new tech from docs and on discord. Don't instinctively reach for Ai first, use it when you know it will actually save time

Yea, I'm afraid of that too. AI atrophies the brain.
