New way to Learn to Code:
1. Learn the basics of any programming language. Spend not more than 5-6 days.
2. Pick a small project you actually care about. For example, a product that organize your notes and use AI to build the first version in 10 minutes.
3. Reverse-engineer everything. Don’t just “accept” the code. If you can’t understand a particular line of code, ask AI: “what does this do?”
4. If you can’t explain exactly what every line does, you aren’t learning, you are just copy pasting your way into technical debt.
5. Use the AI as a 1-on-1 tutor to explain the why behind the patterns it suggests.
"Learn to code" is still one of the best things you can do. Don't get fooled into thinking it's dead.
