Learning to code with AI
I came across Andrew Ng's course, AI Coding with Python by way of Ian Hoe's LinkedIn post. I'm glad I did!
The course is aims to equip students with a level of coding knowledge to help then work with AI effectively. There is an AI chatbot built into the course platform to which Andrew encourages us to use as much as possible.
One key thing I took away from today's exercises is this: treat AI as a knowledgeable, patient and encouraging buddy in your coding journey. You can ask it as many questions as you want, without worrying about being annoying, unlike how you might feel with a human teacher. You can use it to explain things, fix errors and even explore new possibilities. (But don't outsource everything to AI.)
