Don’t be discouraged. The work that you enjoy doing is still here, and will still be here after you’ve graduated.

My best advice to you would be to learn CS the hard way (without AI).

Ignore the “AI learning tools” see on HN or mentioned by peers. Learning should be challenging so if it feels like a shortcut, it probably is. Don’t fall into that trap and you’ll be a more competent developer as a result, both with and without AI
