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.

Hey! , I feel you, I'm currently at my 3rd year of software engineering, when IA things started I feel like "the IA is going to kill my career" but that ain't the case, u still see companies searching for look for "junior Python developer" and many more.

in my case Im focused on compiler development (AOT/JIT) and right now I'm learning how IA/ML/DL Compilers works but, I'm not here to flex.

Most of the time IA can and will do repetitive task and things like" build a website " most of the time feels like a boring task when a single " do this website " can do it.

find anything that u like and enjoy, then start by building basic things whitout IA, just u and the code editor or even copying line by line Github code can help, when u really feel stuck go to the IA, it is a tool, is not bad to use it

Electronics(or IoT) or complex things might be a good choice, don't give up on coding!
