Why AI makes learning to code so much easier

I teach a course where we take people from zero to. You built and shipped an app that people can use in 30 days, which is amazing. The way that that happens is not necessarily like, the AI is just doing it all for you. What the AI does is it gives you something you can see super quick. Like the first day of the course, you build something that basically works, and you're like, holy shit, I can't believe this works. And then you're like, okay, I want to understand how, like, how does this actually work so that I can learn how to make it better. And then we can do a lot of like, okay, here's the basics of programming and here's how you use ChatGPT to figure out what's going on in program and all that kind of stuff. Whereas, like, when I learned programming, it was like six months of like, if statements and like, while loops and like, variables and all this kind of stuff that, like, I had zero idea how it would level up into anything that I wanted to learn. And so it was like, it was very taxing to get through that. And I think AI sort of like means that you get to something that looks cool and works, like, it works, like, much, much, much faster.
