Hey guys, Just wanted to share my current learning workflow as a Python beginner. I see a lot of advice warning against over-relying on AI, so I built a system that forces me to think first: Step 1: Map out the logic. Step 2: Write the pseudocode. Step 3: Code it out and try to polish/refactor it using my own brain power first. Step 4: Use Gemini in VS Code only when I'm completely stuck, making sure to ask it for a deep, clear explanation of the code it provides. Building the logic first and using AI as a tutor rather than a code generator has drastically improved my retention. For those who use AI while learning, how do you make sure you're still actually learning? submitted by /u/Candy_Sombrelune [link] [comments]
