understanding learning vs. time wasting

Question

Hello everyone,

Recently I have started working on a C compiler implemented in C. I'm also a student and I have access to the GitHub Copilot that students are given.

I started pushing the code to GitHub via pull requests since I have set up github actions to run on pull requests and also the copilot pull request reviews. It has been catching a lot of mistakes and suggesting improvements and I have been reviewing it and making appropriate changes.

My question is: is this hindering my learning? I do research a bit further from the suggestions but I'm not sure how much of it I should already have been seeking out on my own.
