Helped: Prompting for explanations around solutions rather than just code generation.
… ChatGPT and Claude to a pretty good job of explaining around the solution we're working on - because of the way I'm prompting them, no doubt - and it's not as if I haven't also worked through both Ruby and Rails tutorials. What I'd observe is that it's simply a different way of learning, but to me it seems like it's working at least decently well, and it means that I'm able to devote more time to thinking about and working on our roadmap and higher level issues without completely screwing my work/life balance - and, critically, time with family because the kids are growing up fast.
