Just realized I used to write out every line of code by hand, now I lean on autocomplete way too much

Back when I started learning Python in 2022, I would type every single line myself, even deleting suggestions from my IDE because I thought I was cheating. Then after 6 months of grinding through tutorials I started just hitting Tab and letting Copilot fill stuff in, and honestly my code got sloppier even if it was faster. Does anyone else feel like autocomplete is making them worse at remembering syntax, or is that just me being paranoid?
