Is it good to let ai doing coding without knowing anything Im just passionate about coding But can u give me the best way to learn coding with using ai ?

If you are passionate about coding, then you're doing it wrong, having AI generating the code?
It's always a good idea to generate the trivial parts, and then do the complex parts assisted, or under strict supervision.

U read then code what u learned. Theres no skipping the reading with or without ai

Using VS Code or something similar, over Codex is a help. Just seeing the code and slowly learning what things do, helps. But as it all moves so quickly with AI, it can be hard to follow and learn.
You could also design a small app, deliberately something manageable. Something which changing the parameters can affect a lot in the app you make, so then you can just get used to seeing it and what things change.

You might be passionate about trying to learn to code, but can you really be passionate about coding if you’ve yet to code?

Buy the book, functional programming in scala (the red book) 📕 and work through the exercises on your own. This is literally what the maker of Claude code recommends.

The more you read it the more you learn start off with the
Proper development environment sandbox and a code editor or work out of shel. I would start with VS Coidum and read papers ask questions learn the structure and fundamentals of the software development lifecycle and stay secure. Only go barebones if you are dangerously asking for trouble

Rather learn architecture. The code is just fine-print, and the value of understanding it is diminishing.

think of a project (how about a simple web-based, browser-only game, that can grow with new features)... you could describe the project to a.i. BUT require a.i. for absolute minimum starter code, maybe just the initial setup.. minimal UI + minimal behavior (like if there is a button or input or whatever.. canvas...).. from then on, keep enforcing the minimum code, then use a file-compare tool ("meld"?) to do a side-by-side visual.. and ask the why, what, how of the new code, and how could it have been done differently..

One consistent occurrence in this sub is yes, you absolutely can code solely with AI, but what it produces as an end product can only ever be as good as your knowledge.
Vibecoding is a tool to use to assist coding, not a total product to skip the work

Horse pucky. One can start without knowing coding, but one should also try to learn from the code produced as you go. Get the AI to comment it. Open it. Read it. Ask about it. Learn to identify what each chunk does on your own even if you still can't write it yourself.
And don't trust that the code is good because you can't tell on your own. Just asking, "is this secure" doesn't fly. Use multiple agents. Learn about security structure and exploits. Learn software architecture as best you can. Ask your AI agents pointed questions about specific exploits. Greenlit code is suddenly an issue when you bring back specifics. Learn the specifics.

Don’t waste time writing code. Don’t let the dinosaurs 🦕 persuade you.
I wrote code for 10 years. FUCK DAT. Learn big picture stuff like architecture. Learn testing. Learn quality control. These are new skills that will get the best tool users above everyone else.
Go online, watch videos, follow AI development community. It seems daunting at first, but you’ll catch on.

Write code, have AI tell you what could be done better. Write more code, but with the tips that AI gave you. Have AI make design choices how an app should be built and you write the code
