Great! Come back here when you get stuck and have some questions.

Thankss!! What's the best way to learn you suggest?

Just start. Google around for some tutorials, try a bunch and see what resonates with you. And think of a project that you can make for your own life that you can work on while learning.

Otherwise if you don't practice you enter in something we call Tutorial Hell

Why feel extremely bad ? It's not as if everyone is meant to be a programmer.

I started with understanding the basics in web tutorials and then I started building some small projects using the help of ai whenever i'm stuck

That's great! And while you're at it, remember to use Google actively. Whenever you're struggling or feel stuck, or just want a more thorough explanation of how something works, you'll be able to find lots of good resources online with a simple search.

What about ai?

Depends on how you craft the prompts. Don't let it do the work for you, but try things like:

I have a bug and I'm not sure why, can you talk me through what's going wrong and explain how to avoid that in the future?

Or

I want to build X, without doing it for me can you teach me step by step while explaining the concepts?

You can even ask it to create quizzes or tasks for you to complete. Just don't rely on it as a crutch, treat it like a professor.

Yess that's exactly how i'm using it!! i hate when it writes me the code or tells me my next i enjoy it more when I struggle and solve the problem it feels more rewarding!!

It does work too, and especially for more complex things it can be very useful. Particularly if you don't have a well defined short question in mind, but rather a larger, possibly more conceptual level problem, then AI is a good option.

My approach is basically this: If I need a few words to describe my issue, I'll start with Google. If I need a few sentences, I'll use AI. Just be careful with how you phrase the prompt. AI will do all the thinking for you, if you don't tell it to not do that.

Therefore, I suggest you first ask yourself what is the exact immediate issue you want AI's help for. Depending on the situation, you can also tell it to not give you any code, or to keep the code at minimum. When used well, it definitely can boost your learning.

Stop worrying about 'big age', nobody cares when you started, they care if your code runs.
