We fell for the LLM trap without touching an LLM, the LLM trap has happened to us before LLMs and will happen to us after LLMs, there is no way to escape it but to shut up and get closer to the things that are real
About two decades ago, a person who you today would call “hikari_no_yume” borrowed a book from the local library about a programming language. She read it cover to cover and found it very interesting.
She never applied the knowledge in practice, and so she never learned anything
The only way to express a thing is to create it, the only way to understand a thing is to do it, and so we must create things, or we will be remembered for nothing but empty manic rambles

If every OS shipped a software development toolchain and every application had a "view source code"-button, the world wouldn't need programming courses.
I'm sure you could sneak such a feature into Wine's window manager: or at least a button that opens the currently running program in a disassembler.
The Linux/BSD ecosystem has had every opportunity to add such features, but they don't seem to have done it (beyond the OLPC and this Chaos Social thread):
