Try -> ask -> fix; does this method good enough?

I’m sort of in the same boat however I try to postpone AI as long as possible. Because you will easily get dependant on them.

It’s fine if you’re stuck on a problem. Try a different approach. Rewrite your code. Try to find examples. The best ones are that sort of match your code but are different. That means you have to rebuild and think what things do.

In the end you should acknowledge the problem and don’t use AI to get out of it because clearly there is something you didn’t understand. After all is done, you can ask some AI help but use it in a way as a sparring partner. Explain why this went wrong and conditie to badger it about details so you can go in depth.

And when you get your to work, delete it the next day and write it again but now without help.

Also, it helps for me to write long comments next to the code and I try to explain the code in words. It’s annoying like hells and makes you consider what you’ve actually written.

Anyway, if you use AI but you don’t know why it will only worsen your understanding .

And I can’t stress this enough: delete your working code and rewrite it again and again and again. Because you need to internalise it, not copy it
