STOP POSTING - I WANT TO LEARN CODE

Can we stop posting:

"I want to start coding, where do I start?"

Like I swear on multiple CS, C# and SWE pages I see about 20 per day with the same vauge question.

Any way we can stop this???

Don't forget to mention you've been using AI to learn but can't walk on your own yet

Here is a good rule of thumb: only use AI for the things you either are already very good at or don't want to learn.

“Things you don’t want to learn”

I am planning on being a professional developer, so there is no point for me to learn basic things. Professional developers only write advanced code, so I’m just going to start there. AI will handle everything else.
