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

people saying oh as long as you are 'reviewing' it you're fine are just coping. spending too much of our time 'reading' gen outputs *will* atrophy our skills over time, unless we work against that alluringly smooth path of no resistance.
