Learn to code.

Short summary

A developer shares their coding learning journey, advocating that genuine understanding through struggle beats rapid shipping. Key takeaway: use AI and tools to enhance learning, not replace it—avoid them to skip hard parts; instead, build real things, break them, read docs, debug yourself, and embrace early struggles as proof of progress.

  • Deep learning beats velocity: understanding why code works matters more than shipping fast
  • Use tools to enhance learning, not replace it—avoid using them to skip the hard parts
  • Building, breaking, and debugging are where growth happens

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
