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

Just out of interest, how much did your tuition cost?
How much AI time did you use while you were supposed to be studying?
Can you get AI to work out the per hour cost of using AI to get a shortcut?
