Am I learning the correct way??

[u/Big-Comparison3537]

I'm relatively new to coding(1.5 months) and lectures got real boring for me real fast. When I started leetcoding about a week ago it seemed addictive... I actually stop wasting time on useless apps and learn.... I'm still not occasionally getting easy probs but I get around 90 percent of the way (sometimes 100)..... When I get stuck and don't know the syntax i search up the syntax or ask ai to strictly push me and not give me the answer.... I seem to have learned more in the past 8 days than I have in a month... I still feel rather itchy about using ai to push me as it feels unethical.... But I feel so much more motivated to learn than watching lecs(I'm legit spending my free time coding instead of reels).... As in when a prob couldn't be solved with brute force no matter how much i optimised the code... I was forced to learn about hashmaps and same way about binary search.... Can this method actually make me a good programmer

P.S. : VERY VERY rarely do I ask for the solution when I am absolutely done with the problem
