**I noticed that all programming assignments or labs are just about running the code or adding few words. Is that the correct way of learning now in the age of ai or should I write the whole notebooks by myself in vs code for example.** ---

Hi, welcome to the community. Regarding your question, the goal of the programming assignments and labs is to help you understand the code and become comfortable working with it. Even before AI, IDEs have long provided features like code completion and snippets to speed up the coding process. What’s most important isn’t typing every line from scratch, it’s understanding what the code does, why it’s written that way, and how to modify or apply it to your own use cases. If writing the code yourself helps you learn better, that’s a great exercise, but it’s not the primary objective. Focus on building understanding rather than memorizing or manually typing every line. ---

Hello, I am taking Introduction to Data Engineering course With Coursera. And, for some reasons, I am unable to complete lab assignment because the command provided to output https link ( to access aws console) is Not generating the https link. Appreciate any thoughts ![20260831_184409](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dlai/original/3X/3/6/36d51bd311b4e04ee54b519bc0c4bdcc4876b6c7.jpeg) ---

Hi, welcome to the community. Regarding your question, the vocareum labs are currently undergoing maintenance, please monitor this topic for update: > [@Staff Announcement: All labs in Data Engineering (all courses) hosted on Vocareum are under maintenance](https://community.deeplearning.ai/t/staff-announcement-all-labs-in-data-engineering-all-courses-hosted-on-vocareum-are-under-maintenance/894865): > > Hi everyone! All labs hosted on Vocareum in this specialization are blocked because of an ongoing issue. Until the issue is fixed, you can expect to get a ‘course access forbiden’ message, an empty link to AWS console, or no database created. In the meantime, you can try the C2W2 and C3W3 assignments in the meantime because those do not use Vocareum. Thank you, and apologies for the experience. Please monitor this topic for updates. ---

Also, this forum is not for the Data Engineering course. You’ll have better success if you post your question in the forum for the course you are attending. ---
