yes I swear to God I feel the same way and its probably my biggest weakness because every single time I make a project and I get stuck at something sometimes I ask AI but then out of nowhere the guilt comes at me one time I made a XO game but I didn't know how to make the win tie lose conditions then I asked AI and it helped me but I felt some kind of tension inside of me but also at the same time I learned some things like using list comprehensions or what the all() function is so yeah you are not the only one
