Agreed! Which is why I wrote leaning to code "properly", not just focusing on syntax. Syntax is entirely without value though if one takes the time to go deeper into how programming languages actuality work.
For example https://www.nand2tetris.org/ involves a whole lot of coding of the serious kind that taught me a lot about subsystems, abstractions etc etc, which are fundamental engineering principles, but would have escaped me without knowing how to code in Rust for instance.
