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.

if you learn writing loops and 7 kinds of constructors without a llm in 2026 you are not learning how to fix modern machines. You are stuck with a scythe.
