I agree that relying heavily on AI could potentially be detrimental to learning. Even before this wave of AI, the numerous tools that are out there for developers could do the same if you don't take the time to learn what the tools are doing and why they were developed in the first place.

Like everyone else has mentioned, I think it's fine considering you are putting the time, effort, and expertise into bringing something of value to the client. However, there might be cases where the tool itself is doing all the work and the client might not know that they can just get this tool themselves and just as easily accomplish it themself. At that point I don't think it's fair.

That's a great site to get inspiration! Some others I found were Behance, as I'm learning graphics software, and Awwwards which I learned about when I was/am practicing web development.

I feel like today the roles have become more blurred with each having to know more about the others. They are still separate: A designer takes care of this, and a developer takes care of that. But each role must become more knowledgeable about the other's responsibilities. Maybe more so than in the past.

It's hard for me to say where it's going to be in the future. I didn't even think it would be like this a few years ago. Right now, I don't think it's enough to make designers obsolete. I've used it for a variety of things, and I'll admit it's cool what comes up, but it does feel lacking at times. And after using it for a bit, it all feels the same and I feel like you could tell that AI is doing the work. On the ethical side, it seems there's a lot in motion for how things will turn out in terms of things like copyrights, plagiarism, and general misuse. Keeping an eye on that. I do think AI will start playing a bigger role but not to the extent that I've been hearing.

It definitely helps with repetitive and simple tasks, but I noticed that if the tasks given are more complex than it will struggle with it. Usually there's the disclaimer that the AI-generated code may contain errors, which it sometimes does. But it's still just the beginning. I can only imagine how much it will improve over time.

I feel like these tools are invaluable as they help to keep track of changes in your code. There are different ones out there and I'm curious to know what you are using. I'm using Git and before coming across it or VCS in general, I would have many files of the same program with different changes.

I use them a lot. YouTube has been my main designation for finding helpful tutorials for various aspects of graphics.

In addition to going through different resources and practicing what you've learned, I would say one of the most effective ways for me to learn was to take on a small project and try to figure out how things work. Learning alongside others also definitely helps. And Agora is well-suited for finding others to work/learn with.

As it's been mentioned already, I've come across Quora through searches, but haven't used it myself. I browse Reddit from time to time.

This past year, posting on forums has become a hobby for me too. I've been on forums before, but it's been a while. Another enjoyable hobby for me is walking/running.

That's true. Even some of these programs have a disclaimer saying that the AI might contain errors.

I don't think I've used any before, but they seem helpful. Do you have any recommendations for tools?

I haven't considered using it at any point. The risks are just too great for how much work I'd put into my site to rank well.

I've used it for a few things, but I usually double check since some of the suggestions aren't entirely correct. But it does help.

The only thing I am currently using is YouTube. I just created a channel to go in tandem with my blog, to add videos to complement it.

I've tried this out, but at best I was only able to breakeven.

GeeksforGeeks is a great resource! It's really been helpful to see the different ways concepts are broken down that make it much easier to understand.

I can definitely attest to naming conventions. When a codebase is small, it's usually not an issue, but as it grows it can be easy to fall in habit where you are quickly declaring things in order to try things out. I've seen codebases where it started out easy to read but by the end it was spaghetti code.

For a while I read quite a bit. Lately I've been reading articles and posts about topics related to my blog.

When I go out, I usually stick to a list of what is needed. I definitely got games on impulse whenever there was a sale for it, such as on Steam.

To me they are definitely easier. But like Cedric mentioned, they can provide valuable insights, much more compared to polls since you can pack in more to gain more feedback from users. But I guess it depends on what you are looking for. A poll was usually sufficient for me.

I actually just started a new YouTube channel to help out my blog. I haven't posted anything on it yet, but hopefully it will work out.

I definitely use polls a lot to gauge interest and gain feedback. I usually received enough submissions to work with. Surveys haven't really worked out for me. I suppose it's because they were more involved and took longer to complete than polls. I've tried making them quicker and easier to complete, but it was nowhere near the interest that the polls got. It also took more time to create them.

That's a good point. When I was learning HTML, CSS did come up a lot so it felt natural to learn both in tandem.
