I'm not good at coding as it is and playing around with JavaScript makes me not even want to code at all honestly, it's just annoying to code with, I hate everything about it. I'm just being honest.

JavaScript === a horrible experience

Honestly, don’t think about learning code. Just picture in your mind and have free LLMs help you build it. While the LLM helps provide you code, ask ot to explain elements and why it wrote this ro that. Don’t just blindly say “didn’t work, give me something else to copy/paste.” Learn alongside the models.

What are you trying to build?

Was going to play around and try to learn some nostr dev stuff but JavaScript just irritates me to no end. Sadly if you want to do anything in web dev you pretty much have to use JavaScript.

There is increasing support for WebAssembly, which lets you do web dev in other languages. Rust and C/C++ have the best WebAssembly support, currently, though it won't be the best tool for every job.

I would suggest doing it the other way around, actually. Ask the LLMs and the Internet as many questions as you want, but write the code by hand. That will cement the concepts better.

I use LLMs to accelerate what I already intended and to learn new languages.

Exactly. It takes a clear intention, first, which requires a basic understanding of programming techniques. Learning how to apply techniques in this or that language is where LLMs comes in handy.

I would think of coding as weight lifting. No pain no gain.
