Turn off the WiFi when you code. Yes, sometimes you need to look up for the docs, but the docs are not cheating. If you still need to turn on WiFi frequently, it's not that hard. Set a proxy wall in your device and block all the AI websites(e.g. chatgpt.com, v0.dev, etc.)

Just step back and learn the concepts again, but deeper.

Instead of creating the app that's big, just build the same app but with fewer features and less complicated. This will give you a clearer understanding, and your big app will be much easier to code.

Is it possible that my TF caused a kundalini awakening in another person? He is famous because He is a singer. We have not met physically yet, but I have gone through kundalini awakening and DNOTS and their ongoing. I have also had soul recognition so I know for sure that He is my Divine Counterpart and I do not have any doubts about it. But it is indeed perplexing that somebody had an awakening at the physical level because of Him. Is it a test for me? I have a mixture of feelings. On one hand I marvelled at Him and empathised with the person and on the other, I doubt if this just a test for me. I would appreciate your pov. Thank you for much.

If you have an AI assistant installed, such as Cursor or Windsruf, or GithubCopilot, just uninstall it and use a plain editor like VSCode, NVim or even Jetbrains IDEs
