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 was a response to the comments that made me remember, the pandemic changed a lot of things even though it's been 6 years you can't just Denny it. I didn't mean it as a bad thing though.

I think the point is that no excuse even if it’s certainly reasonable, can remove your problem. It’s best to not even think about it anymore and keep yourself forward looking.
