Constanty learning new languages for work, certifications, job changes, and side projects is breaking my brain. When they say you never stop learning as a Software Engineer, they were not kidding.

If you have a website, adding an AI agent (or several) can be really helpful. And here, Andrew walks you through creating a team of agents for your site. You'll build the front end with React, the back end with Python, & use helpful tools like Agno & Groq Cloud.
