I recently decided I want to get very good at writing code and building things from scratch for myself.

Despite working in cybersecurity for many years now, I never got a solid, fundamental understanding of many core coding principles.

I started doing the courses at boot.dev to fix this and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s such a well designed teaching platform.

I also thought the gamification parts of it were kinda cheesy at first but they are genuinely helpful to keep me going and is fun to play along with.

I have used to AI tools to help me close some gaps in my knowledge on programming and writing code. It’s been very educational and encouraging.

I definitely use it to ask questions and further my understanding. It can be amazing in that way.

But I avoid autocompletion or asking it to write my code directly. I force myself to ask questions as coherently as possible, as sometimes there’s a lot of learning in just figuring out what you’re trying to ask.

But letting it generate the code for me ends up degrading my skill and I feel worse at coding if I use it too much.
