Don’t Let AI Write Your Brain Out

AI is an incredible tool, but it can also make you lazy if you rely on it too much. If you let it write every line of code, you risk forgetting the basics loops, conditions, functions, even how to think like a programmer.

The smarter way to use AI is to learn alongside it:

Attempt the problem yourself first, struggle a bit, and make mistakes

Use AI to explain concepts, point out mistakes, or suggest alternatives

Always read, understand, and debug the code it gives you instead of blindly copying

This way, you’re not just building a solution, you’re training your brain. The fundamentals you master now how to loop, how to structure logic, how to read errors will make everything else easier later, even when AI can write most of the code for you.

Remember, AI should be your teacher and sparring partner, not a replacement for learning. Code with it, not through it.

Ai won't replace people or developer but the people who uses AI will, so take the right step.
