I can build faster with AI, but I feel like I’m learning less — anyone else

I’ve been building apps using AI tools for a while now, and I’ve noticed something frustrating.

I can ship things faster than ever, but I often don’t fully understand what’s happening under the hood. It feels like I’m assembling things without really improving my core coding skills.

I’m curious how others are dealing with this:

• When you use AI to generate code, how do you make sure you actually understand it?
• Do you go back and study the generated code, or just move forward?
• Have you found any workflows or tools that help you learn while still moving fast with AI?
• Have you ever felt like relying on AI slowed down your long-term learning?

I’m trying to figure out if this is just a personal issue or something more common among developers using AI-assisted workflows.

Would love to hear how you approach this.
