I Built Two AI Tools. The Second One Told Me How I Should Be Learning AI.

I Built Two AI Tools. The Second One Told Me How I Should Be Learning AI.

Short summary

Learning by building AI projects works better than courses: the author shipped two Claude Code projects through practice rather than theory. They designed an 8-phase curriculum to master Claude Code's advanced features (MCP, Skills, Subagents, Hooks, Plugins, Checkpoints) before studying Fast.ai fundamentals. The strategy trades short-term momentum for deeper understanding by eliminating tool friction before tackling harder concepts.

  • •Project-based learning outperforms traditional courses for tool mastery
  • •8-phase curriculum to master Claude Code before AI fundamentals
  • •Prioritize tool expertise to prevent tool friction from competing with harder learning

Generated with AI, which can make mistakes.
