Taking the time to learn this way was super helpful, and I will definitely be doing it more often. It's certainly not perfect, and it's no replacement for core materials like the Rust book, but in my opinion it's a great way to build projects and learn something new. If you're an aspiring developer, I cannot stress this enough: be competent. Always be curious, ask questions, figure out "why," and look to solve problems you really care about. I saw a post on X recently that went something like "quitting software development now due to AI tools is like quitting woodworking because the table saw was invented." It's a tool like anything else, but you've got to know your fundamentals, and you've got to know what to build. Be a woodworker.
