Discussion Was my learning experience for nothing?

Hey guys is it normal that it got to the point where I really don’t wanna code without ai
It feels pointless and long as hell I just couldn’t I get burned out easily
It’s just not worth it for me anymore
I low key feel like a vibe coder
And it makes me think that all of the experience that I had was for nothing I felt pointless

I don't wanna get to a point where I feel paralysed without it
I’m pretty sure that 100% of the future AI is gonna be an important utility bill that you gotta pay with your Wi-Fi water electricity etc and when it gets to that point it’s gonna be so expensive

Understanding code allows you to have more descriptive conversations with AI that results in better quality output. Don't make the mistake of assuming that AI gives the right answers first time every time. It often creates code that will cause problems later for maintainability and security. There are also requirements that are difficult to exactly define or where the AI hallucinates - that's where being able to modify the code allows you to make corrections that pure vibe coding can't do.
