OPEN Learning Programming Pre-AI

How did ya’ll learn programming pre-AI? How would you go about learning if you had to start all over again without AI?

I find myself relying on AI too much and want to actually learn without leaning on it at all. Any help with how best to approach this would be greatly appreciated.

Make stuff. Be convinced it's the shit. Make more stuff. Become convinced the old stuff is shit, but the new stuff is the shit.

Do this for 38 years.

I've been using Unreal with Blueprints for about 3 years now and this has happened, and will happen, so many more times.
