# Struggling with AI Dependency in My Development Career For over a year now, I haven't been able to write a single line of code without using AI. Despite having 3+ years of experience in web development, I've become completely dependent on AI tools for even the most basic tasks. My theoretical knowledge has deteriorated to almost zero. I need AI assistance for creating simple UIs or basic functionality. Without AI, I can't even write a basic JavaScript function anymore. This dependency has made me fearful of job interviews. I've been rejected by multiple companies because I'm unable to answer technical questions properly. While I can complete work assignments with AI assistance, I feel like I have nothing to offer on my own. I'm overthinking and genuinely worried about my future in this industry. How can I break this dependency and rebuild my skills to survive in tech long-term?
