CCC | Career Code Club launches on June 1. A practical community for learning AI, building with code, and creating new career opportunities. We’ll start with Japanese, English, and Indonesian support. Official site: ccc-club.com

Today we were reviewing the practical Codex course for building websites. One thing we adjusted: instead of jumping straight into Codex and asking it to build the page, it may be better to first use Image2 to make the initial direction more concrete.

Before beginners build with Codex, setup matters. Access, permissions, the first screen, and the initial workflow can decide whether someone feels ready — or gets stuck before the lesson even begins. That is why we wrote about setup as part of learning. open.substack.com/pub/ccclub…

We are working on the first beginner course for chat-based AI tools. Before Claude Code, Codex, or automation, beginners need to get comfortable using AI in a simpler way: to think more clearly, organize ideas, and make vague tasks easier to understand. That step feels important.

Many people use AI for search, summaries, translation, writing, and brainstorming. That is useful. But using AI is not the same as building with AI. The next step is practical output: landing pages, workflows, tools, and automations. Our first article: open.substack.com/pub/ccclub…

CCC is not just about learning AI tools. Our goal is to help learners move from “trying AI” to actually building things with AI and code. Learn AI. Build with code. Create real output. Connect those skills to career opportunities.
