Change often begins with a single voice! Rather than being silent on issues we feel strongly about, it is important that we speak up and share our opinions with others.

🚨 Anthropic's own team just showed how to actually use Claude Code properly. 30 minutes. free. the person who created Claude Code. watch the workshop. bookmark it. worth more than every $500 course you almost bought. you've been using Claude without knowing 40 of its commands. Then read the guide below.

Karpathy didn't make a course. He made THE course. 3 hours. Free. Tokenization. Attention. Hallucinations. Tool use. RLHF. DeepSeek. AlphaGo. Every behavior you've ever wondered about in an LLM - where it comes from, why it exists, how it was engineered. The gap between engineers who understand this and engineers who don't isn't technical depth. It's the ability to conceive of entirely different things.

I have a complete Python Programming course available for free om my YouTube channel for those who can't afford to pay for this. I also have a complete DSA course for beginners on YouTube. Use the link in my bio to access or just seach my name on YouTube.

It does not matter where you get your code anymore as long as you understand it. @mctabalabs

Claude code is making people think they are cracked devs. You did not write the code. AI did!

@49agents How will you notice any of that when you don't know what you're looking at?

@bonaogeto fair point but id argue vibe coding can teach you the fundamentals if you pay attention. you see the patterns, the structure, the flow. not everyone learns the same way. some people need to see it work before they care about the why

You cannot vibecode your way into a software dev role. You have to demonstrate exceptional software dev skills which vibe coding doesn't give you.

My biggest realization in tech: 1. Get the remote role (for the capital) 2. Master the stack (for the skill) 3. Build your own products (for the freedom) Most people stop at step 1. That’s fine, but true leverage comes from ownership.

Transitioning from Dev to Platform Engineering has been the ultimate eye-opener. I've stopped asking "How do I build this feature?" and started asking "How do I empower 100 devs to build 100 features at Mctaba Labs without breaking a sweat?" I'm slowly learning that it’s not just about infra; it’s about scaling the potential of my team and students that walk through our doors.

"You've positioned your entry into tech against a weakness no one is defending rather than towards a dream. The strongest qualification you have is buried in your resume, not leading the charge." I said this in a conversation with one of my mentees today, and I blew my mind.
