(9/10) In addition to "don't imitate, understand" there's a new goal: Fight Skill Atrophy. LLM code generation provides great possibilities, but also great dangers to even experienced devs. Stay skilled, and deeply understand, so you can guide and guardrail LLMs successfully.

Access to all my courses and books across Teachable and Udemy, including both current and future courses as they are released, such as the AI-Assisted Development course coming in December.
