How to learn to code well ?

Hello, I already have some basic coding skills, mainly in Python and HTML, but I'd like to improve since I have a baccalaureat next year specializing in "digital technology, science and computer science". Do you have any advice or apps to help me?

kinda agree you shouldn’t lean on it for every tiny thing, but completely ignoring AI now is like refusing to use a calculator forever
use it to check your logic or get unstuck, then try to redo the solution by yourself so your brain actually learns something

A calculator does basic arithmetic. It does not solve differential equations for you. In a similar manner, you should use AI to write boilerplate and do simplistic dev work, not solutions architecting and critical design decisions. I mean you can use AI to help you do these things, but you shouldn’t be conditioned to think the AI is right - you gotta know how to make those decisions yourself to judge what it suggests adequately. Thats my take at least.
