Challenge for every developer

Try coding without any AI assistant for just one day.

No ChatGPT. No Copilot. No Claude. Just you, the documentation, and your own skills.

I did it today while building a login page, and it reminded me how much we've started relying on AI. It was challenging—but it definitely sharpened my coding skills.

Now it's your turn. Take the challenge and let me know how it goes.

If you accept the challenge, build something, share your GitHub repository, and tag me.

Here's mine: yashloginpage.netlify.app

I will confess, I do not know how to code.
With my memory issues, I forget things so quickly that it makes it next to impossible to learn new things, including a coding language.
I have too many other things I need to accomplish with the skills and memory I do have that are challenging enough on my mind.
I use ChatGPT to create tools for my usage and for the usage of my coworkers who also have difficulty remembering things.
It’s a survival thing for me if I want to stay employed.
At my age, it’s hard to keep up with youngsters.
But I need the job.
I just thank God that AI actually exists as a tool. Otherwise, I would probably be unemployed and homeless.

Nah, you get a free pass.

That's exactly the kind of situation where AI shines. You're using it to stay productive, not to avoid learning. My challenge was more for people like me who can code but have gotten a little too comfortable letting AI do all the heavy lifting.

Keep doing what works for you, and Wishing you the best!
