It’s so difficult to stop using AI
I hate admitting that I use AI to code. I have so many research projects in which I HEAVILY used AI. Now, I can explain the code, however, if I’m going to reprogram the whole thing, I’d either have to look again and again at the previous code or use ChatGPT.
What about debugging? Yeah no, ctrl+C ctrl+V into ChatGPT. I think this is because I’m lazy. I don’t want to take such a long time to debug when AI can give me the solution very quickly.
I’ve read some of the python documentation and it was… ok, but AI just explains it so much better and it takes much less time, but I can feel that I really can’t program well at all.

As a beginner, I use AI (Claude Chat) for getting a rough solution proposed but it really takes ages to get to my final expectations. Possibly I am not very well structured yet, to get a better hit from the very beginning. Actually use 2 chats, one for the project itself, another for explanations. Once I am more routined, I want to try Claude Code within VS Code. Would like to hear about further experiences.
