What I Built
Three weeks into learning Rust, I had Copilot open and Stack Overflow in the next tab. I was making progress — or so I thought. I'd ask Copilot how to handle an error, paste the answer in, the compiler would go green, and I'd move on.
Six days in, I realised I had no idea what I was doing.
I could produce Rust. I couldn't think in Rust. Copilot was making me a faster copy-paster. It wasn't making me a developer.
