I'm a high schooler who's really into ee, doesnt know how to code, and I'm super conflicted

I've always loved robots and stuff, so I decided to get into hobbyist-level stuff, just to expand my knowledge. I've made a couple of basic projects with Arduino, and with them, I made a really sincere effort to learn all the code and do it all myself. As I try to do more advanced stuff, though, I'm becoming increasingly lazy with learning all the code, and for the last couple of projects, I've done all of the code completely with Claude. I know I should be learning how to code, but I'm wondering, "With all the advancements in AI, will it even be necessary for me to learn how to do it at all?" I feel especially guilty right now, because I just entered a competition with one of my projects, and the hardware and idea was completley my own, but the code was 100% claude. Should I stop messing around with hardware and learn how to code first?
