I'm facing a frustrating issue where every time I get an idea for a coding project, I find it easier to just ask AI to build it for me, even if it's just the initial stages. My attempt to learn a new programming language has been derailed because when I write in VSCode, the AI auto-complete feature complicates things instead of helping. I'm stuck in this cycle I like to call 'AI hell.' I'd really appreciate any tips or tricks to help me regain control over my coding skills. Thanks!

My suggestion is to cut back on using AI completely for your projects. When you try to tackle something beyond your current skill level, AI tends to add a lot of unnecessary complexity. Just take a break from it and work on your own solutions. This will help you build self-discipline and skills.
Absolutely! Setting some boundaries can be really effective. Maybe tell yourself that AI can only assist after you've tried to solve a problem on your own for a few hours.
