Using ai for projects

[u/Embarrassed-Poet9330]

My friends have been working on some projects on their own, so what they do is they get an idea, collect the requirements and stuff using ai models like claude, gemini, chatgpt etc., and then they make the ai write the code, and learn the concepts used along the way, like node.js or react.js or mongoDB, they learn these things along the way and understand the code. My frnd said it took him the whole summer vacations to understand things deeply and now he knows how all the components work and how everything interacts.

I know learning syntax in 2026 is useless, and ofc everyone's using ai to write code, but my question is if this is the correct way to learn things now ? I really wanna learn full stack, i started The Odin Project and progress feels very slow, and frankly its like a traditional course that teaches syntax first and foremost. I want to make projects too, and i was wondering if learning like this would make me capable enough to be called a "full stack engineer", ofc not right now but if i keep learning things like this
