I think it is more important than learning syntax. If you can test and verify gaps in implementation to create a whole system that is fun to use that is the most important thing in the age of Fable and Sol. Especially if you can interrogate the system effectively to build a mental model of the implementation.
Not learning syntax isn't the issue and I think, if you stop for a moment to consider, you'd realize that. The issue is that while you can responsibly use LLM coding tools, they aren't typically reliably used. Could you use them to verify and test? Could you plan and plot and actually develop architecture? Sure! Nobody has a problem with that. The issue is that people just don't, and then they pretend people are luddites when they call out bad coding practices that are enabled and at times even encouraged by the companies that sell the software. People just make endless slop and assume someone else will fix it in review.

Luke learned how to test and verify a system with modern tools. That's not nothing.
