@ai.with.ni: 1. Learn just enough coding to understand AI. Start with HTML, CSS and JavaScript. You don’t need to memorise everything, but you need to understand what the code is doing. 2. Build real projects immediately. Stop spending months watching tutorials. Pick something useful and build it with AI. 3. Use AI as a teacher, not just a builder. This is the big one. Every time AI generates something you don’t understand, ask it to explain WHY it made those decisions. That’s how you actually improve. 4. Learn how software fits together. Frontend, backend, databases, APIs and authentication. Understanding these concepts makes you dramatically better at prompting AI. 5. Get comfortable debugging. Don’t just paste errors into Claude 47 times. Learn to read logs, isolate problems and test assumptions. 6. Learn to ship properly. GitHub, deployments, environment variables, security and testing. Building something is one thing. Shipping something reliable is another. AI has completely changed how I’d approach learning to code. But understanding software engineering fundamentals is still your biggest advantage. 💬 Comment TOOLS and I’ll send you my free vibe coding starter kit.
