The faster I get code done, the less I learn.

You can easily crank out code and feel productive using your current knowledge. For instance, you don't need much experience to code 90% of all the websites out there. But if you're furiously getting things done, reusing the same old bag of tricks, when do you start wondering if there's a better way to do things?

Balance learning with getting things done. Lean to much on either side and you'll suck.
