Currently 14, I started learning programming when I was around 8 and quit around 10. When ChatGPT came out, I instantly got back to learning. Now I do some python and lots of Web Dev. I use mainly Cursor as my IDE and I get lots accomplished (shipped to prod a couple react and svelte apps with a backend and all hosted on my dad’s old computer using Express.js) with Claude 3.5 Sonnet. Not exactly a fan of all these serverless stuff (like vercel or AWS) as I don’t want my family to go bankrupt. I also did lots of ML related stuff (PyTorch) with o1 by building some of my own Transformer SLMs trained on FineEdu.
One problem, I can basically get nothing done without AI, I kinda get how a LLM work and can get o1 to implement a working one. Except if you try to get me to build one on my own using PyTorch, I am clueless.
Couple days ago met up with a couple of my dad’s FAANG friends and asked for their advice on this topic. They all suggested me to get my basics done by doing some LeetCode and Codewars so basically restart from scratch. They told me I am not gonna get far if I just keep on getting shortcuts using LLMs and AIs.
Curious what you guys think
