Just about a decade ago I switched from VIM to an IDE with auto complete. For me personally, typing it all out made me far more intimate with the code, but more importantly it forced me to be very intimate with the language.
Today, at the other extreme of having an LLM actually write entire methods or sometimes classes for me, I do feel that I have less of a mental model of how my software is designed. Ostensibly I still "wrote" all of it, but it's just not in my mental cache.

Or, that's just age ))
