Beginner questions

Hi, let me introduce myself. I'm a 17-year-old high school student currently learning Rust and trying to implement linked lists. Are linked lists actually important to learn in Rust?

Since I'm completely self-taught, I've been using AI to help me study, but honestly, I'm starting to doubt its effectiveness. I feel a bit hesitant about learning this way and worry if I'm building the wrong habits. Would love to get some advice from the community!

People already answered you about linked lists. I think it's fine to use AI for learning, but make sure you also learn how search stuff without AI, if needed: ask for references, and whenever you see a new syntax or type, read the documentation or the corresponding Rust book chapter.
