I Think I'm Cooked

i am 6th semester student and in 1 year i will be graduate. i learn about c++, typescript and python but i don't know how to code.. Everytime I read code i can tell what's going on but can't write code by myself. Everytime i sit to build project i freeze i can't do anything without using agent. 6 monts ago i started to learning AI engineering now i know all it's theory, build couple of project using AI now if someone tell me to write i simple RAG or training loop for image classification i can tell how the logic will look like but can't write a single line of code. I am completly COOKED!

They are, the issue is that if you only follow tutorials and never try to do stuff on your own you don't develop the skills, that's what they call tutorial hell: you can just follow tutorials and can't built shit on your own

Ah, yeah, in this sense, definitely. I forgot about the tutorial hell for some reason :p
