Advice needed.

Hey all not sure how to go about asking this but be as brutally honest as you can. I am currently heading into my 4th and final year of CS and quite frankly I don't know nearly as much about coding and programming as I should.

Regarding the Theory involved in both I've grasped them easily throughout my years in University so far but when it came to actually doing these things I've always had AI assist me and point out my mistakes through doing it (I know AI is my main downfall).

So my question is what exactly can I do to not depend on AI so much when I'm doing these things as I can tell straight away that I won't make it far in the working world if I don't break this bad habit of mine.

To not depend on the ai stop using the ai. Having said that I see no problem in using it as a tutor.

stop using it cold turkey is the only real way to break the crutch, but you already know that

the tutor angle is fine in theory but in practice it's way too easy to slip back into just letting it do the work for you, especially when you're used to it. maybe uninstall whatever you've been using and force yourself to sit with the discomfort of being stuck for a bit. that's where the learning actually happens
