Learning to write python without relying on stack overflow and AI /u/Confident_Ad437 Python Education

Hello!

I am definitely a beginner in writing python I have taken one intro course in the language and plan to take one next semester in using python in GIS before I graduate. I am still definitely learning the fundamentals of python but have noticed that I have begun to understand what is being done when I see code on forums and when I use AI to help me trouble shoot my code. However, I worry that AI and stack overflow (among other forums) will become a crutch for me and hurt me when I use python in my future career. Albeit I am really only going to use python professionally similar to R or stata. Does anyone have any tips on not becoming to reliant on outside resources or how to get to a point where I confidently can write in python without becoming overwhelmed with not knowing exactly what to do? Thank You!
