I think we have to enjoy what we learn. I have no motivation at all, to learn stuff I don't like doing.
In my case, I really enjoy coding, and making stuff that people use.
Part of the impediments that I have encountered, is other people's attitudes. As long as co-workers and technical peers thought of me as "competition," they would deliberately make it difficult for me to access the stuff I needed to learn.
LLMs have absolutely no fear of me, and gladly give me exactly what I need (sometimes, too much).
I'm glad to hear LLMs help you out. They don't, here. Learning isn't the issue: I already have a wealth of information I can't put to use, or perhaps more accurately: won't be sufficiently rewarded for.
Perhaps I could use them for the parts I don't enjoy. Or I could... not.
It's all a wash, I guess is my point. While we're out here working, leagues are idling. I aspire to be more like them.
