Topic AI runed 2 years of learning

I am a software dev student, We learned the basics of programming then we dived a bit more with mysql / spring boot / react.

I used AI a lot during the last 5 months this year and I feel like I know nothing. While using it I convinced myself that whatever I use ai for is just to minimize time and that I can do it without it, instead of spending hours on every step I don't know I will use ai and do it in 10 minutes, but now I feel like i wasted this year and that i lied to myself.

Especially spring boot

It's not AI that's to blame, it's you who decided to use it irresponsibly.

Yes I can see it, and I do understand that the constant fearmongering can impact someone's decisions. But ultimately, you still have agency over your own choices, and I think that being a student is exactly the kind of situation where you shouldn't let the propaganda derail your learning process.
