I was lost and now I'm learning again!

Short summary

Author pivoted from IT support through multiple languages (C#, C++, web dev) into heavy AI-assisted coding with Cursor and Claude, built unsuccessful startups while abusing AI tools, then deliberately stepped back to learn Go fundamentals through test-driven development without AI assistance—offering a cautionary tale about over-reliance on AI while coding.

• •Career trajectory: IT support → programming languages → AI-assisted startup building
• •Realized heavy AI tool usage (Cursor, Claude, Codex) led to lost fundamentals and loss of coding passion
• •Now learning Go with TDD intentionally without AI, seeking community for language-focused growth
