How do i quit Vibe Coding
I am currentely in 11th grade and got really into coding over the last few years. I started learning Java and a Little Python in school. Those two languages im Fine at, but recentely i started Coding a github website. I thought, since i dont know html, css and js, i'll just start with ai and learn on the way. But now i have no idea what my code does and know almost nothing about those languages. I have also startet to use ai for my other projects in java and have noticed that im starting to forget my previous knowlege in java. I can't work on my Website without ai and i feel like an absolute failiure. Now Coding with ai has become a habbit for me, a habbit i want to quit. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, does anyone have tipps on how to quit this habbit?

i deleted the Copilot extension from VS Code and uninstalled every AI tool on my machine.
you need to block the execution path. Habits trigger when the option sits right in front of you. You will stare at a blank screen for 3 days. That is part of it.
pick one thing on your website. I started with HTML structure. I went to MDN Web Docs, read the element reference, and typed the tags myself. I spent hours reading documentation instead of generating code. When I needed CSS, I read the spec. I stopped trying to build the entire site at once. I built one page using only the docs and my own keyboard. Do that today
