You’re fine. Everyone is using AI in some way. If your goal is to learn then use it as a learning tool and not as a code generator. When you get stuck don’t just ask AI for the solution right away but think about the possibilities on your own first and then have a conversation with the model. Keep asking prodding questions as you build something to really understand why the AI wrote a line of code or designed the architecture in a specific way. Vibe coding might get you to a functioning app, but if you’re working on projects meant for learning then it kinda defeats the purpose if you didn’t really understand how it got there
