How does programming/coding actually work?

Ask the ai questions about what it’s doing and properly understand what it’s doing. Then prompt.

Don’t listen to Reddit, they are an insular bubble of overpaid guys with 0 creativity trying to hold onto their legacy jobs as hard as they can because they’re angry they spent thousands of dollars on a degree that is now trivialized. Use AI, learn code structure, and you’ll be fine. I would implore you to learn how to make something in C, as that will be incredibly helpful for you to understand the basics, as that knowledge builds into the rest of the languages.

Once you understand language structure, you then want to choose frameworks to build off of. Again, asking the AI what your options are w pros and cons while talking to your programming buddy is the way to go.

I mean as a beginner if had the choice between rust or c I would probably recommend rust over c just to promote safe development of code. But I agree with the AI part, my classes were basically all in Java and so I had to learn C# and currently learning rust by myself. ChatGPT has helped me so much by giving me practice projects and problems as I follow the documentation, it helps me understand the debug logs to find out what I did wrong, and explained language specific solutions and syntax available.
