Hi, I want to understand how you guys learn new things in the age of AI? I am a software engineer relatively new to the industry ~5 YOE. I am trying to learn new things in my job but since we use so much AI for programming and stuff, I feel that I might not be learning as much as I would have if AI did not exist.
I cannot stop using AI since it does make few things easier, and also my company keeps watch if someone is not using enough tokens. On other hand I also dont want to fall behind on my task deadlines by doing things old school way.
Is there any way to get better at workplace in this situation? I just want to get really, really good in my domain.


I have the same problem, and I decided to just work on a personal project in my spare time without AI.
This is my next step. I started doing project Euler for fun with a programming language I’ve never used before and it was fun. But now I wanted to tackle something at home that doesn’t feel too much like a chore.
