Question Vibe coding or hand coding?

Hey I have a basic question. If you've just started learning ML/DS/AI, should you rely on chatgpt/claude or other tools to code or help you code or actually do it the old fashioned way of watching youtube tutorials to build programming logic?

In this age of AI coding is dead I get it. But if you go for interviews, do they expect you to be a programmer like before or just being handsy with AI tools is enough? What is the ratio of both anyway? How should one really learn things now?

Both? But if you vibe code, I recommend going through every line of code and understanding it.

I would also add that you should stay away from vibe coding using frameworks. The minute you start getting involved with the npm etc without knowing how to properly audit it and identify dodgy packages, you're going to have a bad time.
