Learning with AI
I’m still a bit skeptical about using AI while learning something new. I decided to learn Django by creating a project, but I feel like if I use AI, I’m missing out on key learning points and if I don’t use it, I’m learning too slowly. I can’t seem to find the right balance. Any advice?

You need to understand what you are doing, if you just ask AI and copy and paste the code into the editor, you will just be a copy paster instead of being a Software Engineer who can actually solve real problems. Learn the basics first and only use AI if you are stuck, once you have the knowledge, then you can use AI to save time.
I do believe that blindly copy-pasting code is bad. What I meant is more like asking AI to generate a basic API code, then going through each line and asking what every part does. Would that still count as copy-pasting or is that a good way to learn?
that part is ok, but I think it would still be better if you can figure out yourself what the code is doing, then if you are really stuck you can indeed ask AI for inputs or to explain what every line does
Thanks for the advice. I will try to follow it and see how it goes.
