This is a genuine question, to get more context:

What's stopping you from programming without AI?

- Remove AI from your editor completely. - Start a project which is easy and fun for you,something you did when first learning to code. Text-based adventure game, or some silly little app that is just for fun. - Or take a new language or some aspect of coding, that you have only brushed over, but want to learn better, and learn it properly by doing coding exercises or some silly project that teaches you the syntax etc. - Most importantly relearn how fun coding is

I use Claude only to ask questions (in separate virtual desktop, no chat inside the editor) if I can’t grokk the doc’s or find the answer online. This keeps the LLM input valuable, but not using it as a crutch, and me honest and learning constantly.

  1. I don't have AI in my editor in the first place, mostly use web chat with a bit of gemini CLI
  2. Good ideas; worth considering
  3. I'll pass
  4. That is my goal
