Oh yeah, lots of people do. I have friends that hate AI and refuse to use it at all.
However, I guess it depends on what you mean with “from scratch”. In a corporate context, I would say most code-writing is fixing bugs or adding features to an existing project.
“Am I wasting time doing these exercises when they can easily be done with LLM within one or two shots?”
Depends on what your goal is. If you want to get better at programming, how would you get better if you don’t let your neurons form new pathways? However, perhaps you are more interested in the output and not in the process. But some day, you might need to debug your code, and then those pathways in your brain might come handy.
