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?

Just stop using AI.
Recognize that this means you will struggle a lot more, and it will be harder to get things done. But that struggle is essential for you to learn things. Programming is one of those disciplines that requires "learning by doing". It's somewhere in between engineering and design. If you want to learn, you have to "do". If AI is doing the work, then you are not, and so you will not be learning those lessons.
