@CryptoTouns @APompliano Spot on. This video is the dumbest take made from the warped world view of another bully. Every country in the world is watching this unhinged nonsense unfold and moving away from the US right now. So what happens in this paranoid game after Greenland? Who's next?

AI changed coding in 2024.

Do you still need to learn <coding>?

YES!
I say it again, YES!!!

You need to understand the fundamentals of coding.

This will help you debug the code.
(Which is the most difficult task with AI code)

Here's how you can become a non technical coder with AI:

ChatGPT is the best Tutor! Hands down.

Pick one tech stack and become a pro.

- NextJs + TypeScript + TailwindCSS
- Python + flask

I picked the first one as it is a modern tech stack and AI models are trained on vast Nextjs code.

Which means less errors, and AI can debug errors after understanding the root cause.

So after you pick a tech stack; go to ChatGPT.

And prompt this;

"I want to learn the fundamentals of (your tech stack) so I can instruct AI models for coding purposes. I want to understand the technical terminology of this tech stack, structure of the code, and the codebase.

Your job is to act as my Coding Mentor and provide me a 15-Day plan. Start with basic concepts and advance towards the complex terminology of the stack.

My Goal is by the end of my training I shoukd be able to understand the code properly, I should be able to instruct AI models with proper technical terminology, I should be able to understand code errors and I should be able to debug errors manually.

Please do not miss any important topic or point. Use chain of thought reasoning to first design the training plan, then critique that training plan to find any loopholes and refine the training plan again.

Act now"

Tip: Use o1 model for creating the training plan.

Then, once you have the 15-day plan.

All you need to do is spend time with ChatGPT + Claude + Cursor/VsCode

1. Paste the topic in ChatGPT to ask it to explain.
(Ask bunch of questions until you understand properly)

2. Go to Claude. Ask it to make an exercise to practice that topic. (This is optional, but trust me, it'll help you in debugging)

3. Go to Cursor/VsCode/Windsurf and start the work manually. (Do not use AI until you're unto the coding part)
- perform project setup
- installing dependencies
- create folders and files
- running local environment
- connecting github
- creating new github repo

Then, you can start your coding/learning workflow.

Once you go through the 15-day training. I am 100% sure you'll be able to "prompt" AI models 80% better than the normal user.

If you can also understand the fundamentals of frontend design:
- structure of the page
- header
- sidebar
- main content area (body)
- footer
- padding
- spacing
- borders
- shadows
- fonts
- gradients, etc

AI coding depends on detailed prompting! The better the prompt, the better the code.

So learn the fundamentals of your tech stack and frontend, and you'll be able to instruct AI models to code for you.

Use these 10 Christmas holidays to become an AI Coder jumping into 2025.

I hope this post gave you an idea of how you can learn to code with AI.

Everything is free. Our attention is not free. Buy that, focus your attention on something that can change your life.

Peace.
CJ

@awilkinson So awesome. My 8yr old uses it so naturally and i love listening in also. As a rigid, boring adult I learn so much just watching how she interacts with it and moves the conversation in such creative interesting directions.

[simwilso @simwilso]

@adamgusky I struggle here a lot also. I've not found the true answer myself but I feel like a big issue for me is not the tasks but never switching off!
Slow down to speed up. Finding time in the day to put it all down go for a run or something and down tools when at home!

@decarpentier_nl The White House is launching a new AI datacenter infrastructure task force

Looks like the U.S. AI strategy is moving beyond just safety testing, to actively shaping the infrastructure needed to maintain America’s edge in AI

@decarpentier_nl Google launched Audio Overviews, a new feature that turns notes into AI-generated audio discussions between two virtual AI agents

This could be a game changer for people who are auditory learners

[Dylan Jardon 🌈 @DylanJardon]

"Perfection is impossible.

In the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches.

But what percentage of points did I win?

54%

In other words, even top ranked tennis players win barely more than half the points they play.

When you lose ever second point on average, you learn not to dwell on every shot.

You teach yourself to think:
'Okay, I double faulted...it's only a point.'
'Okay, I came to the net and I got passed again...it's only a point.'

Even a great shot, an overhead backhand smash that ends up on ESPN's top 10 playlist – that too is just a point.

Here's why I'm telling you this.

When you're playing a point, it has to be the most important thing in the world. And it is.

But when it's behind you, it's behind you.

This mindset is crucial – because it frees you to fully commit to the next point with intensity, clarity, and focus."

@BillAckman @POTUS As an observer from Australia it is frankly a bit terrifying that your bureaucracy is letting this happen. I don't have a position on his legacy but the fact he is not acknowledging the time has come to move aside says allot about his character

In 2022, short on electrical grid inertia and long on renewable power, Ireland installed the world's largest flywheel, 130 spinning tons.

Why did we do something so preposterous?

And are there other, better storage technologies? Let's find out.

It's the grid storage thread!
