I’m Destiny Franks. I’m a backend developer, teacher, and founder building Staqed. I’ve taught 6,000+ students on Udemy, built a 19,000+ subscriber YouTube channel, and now I’m focused on one problem: helping people actually learn to build software in the AI era.

I get you, bro. With all the AI talk, it can honestly feel like learning to code is becoming pointless. But the developers getting the most out of AI right now are the ones who already understand code. They know what to ask, what to keep, and what to fix when AI gets it wrong. So spend your first month getting comfortable with JavaScript basics and building small things yourself. After that, start using AI as a helper, not as a replacement.

@desphixs Yes I'm learning to code sir. I'm currently learning JavaScript, but I haven't been consistent these days — although it's because of school and partly because of the trend — "what's the need to code when there's AI?"... But I really desire to be Frontend Developer.

Yes, you should still learn to code. AI can write code for you, but it doesn’t understand your project or take responsibility when something goes wrong. You don’t need to memorize everything. Learn the basics so you can understand, check, and fix what AI gives you.

The value of learning to code isn’t that you’ll write every line yourself forever. It’s that you build the judgment to know when AI is right, when it’s wrong, and what to do next. @joyalexo learned DRF manually for a month, then used @staqed coding agent to build a full backend yesterday. She can explain this better than me.

I will keep saying this: Learning to code was never just about memorizing syntax. It teaches you how to break problems down, spot when something feels off, and know what to ask next. AI is much more useful when you already have that way of thinking.
Fernando@Franc0Fernand0

I don't understand how you can get good at building with AI without learning to code first. If you've never built things by hand, you won't know: •What "good" actually looks like •When the AI is wrong or hallucinating •What to ask for next You're not directing the AI. You're just hoping it works.

Today I hit my codex limits and had to code manually. I stared at the editor for a long time like it was my time seeing an editor. Is this even healthy for us?

openai will stop giving out free codex resets at some point. that day is going to be one of the wildest days on AI twitter. the withdrawal is going to be crazy. something that nobody is prepared for.

Being busy can mean answering messages, fixing small things, and jumping between tasks all day. Progress is when something important is actually closer to being done.

Writing code is only part of the job. You also need to explain what you changed, why you changed it, and what might break. Clear communication saves everyone time.

5.6 Sol is great when it locks in, but watching your token budget disappear after one task is a different kind of stress

@pmitu honestly, liking your own reply only feels weird because everyone agreed it does. you wrote it because you liked the thought, so pressing the button is just being consistent 🤷‍♂️

@dilshadtweets maybe. but being quiet doesn’t automatically mean they’re about to drop something massive, but then 🤞

Anywhere I look: Fable 5, GPT-5.6, Kimi, Grok 4.5. Meanwhile Google DeepMind has been unusually quiet. Makes me wonder what they’re cooking. They don’t usually stay out of the race for no reason. What do you guys think??

I like that companies are open-sourcing trillion-parameter models, but honestly the word “open” can be misleading. You still need a serious GPU cluster to run one properly. That could mean over $150 an hour in the cloud. Free model. Very expensive computer.

Companies will open-source a 2 trillion parameter model like anyone can just download and run it. Meanwhile, the hardware can cost well over $1M, and renting enough GPUs may run into hundreds of dollars per hour. The weights are free. Running them isn’t. Tch

The fastest way to stay a beginner is to stare at the same bug for 5 hours. The fastest way to improve is to: • Read the error • Check the docs • Search for similar issues • Take a short break • Come back with fresh eyes Getting stuck isn’t failure. It’s part of learning.

@SimonHoiberg A VPS makes sense for some people, but saying local IDEs don’t make sense anymore is a stretch. Not everyone wants to rely on an internet connection or pay for another server. Remote coding is getting better, but I think local development isn’t going anywhere, at least not soon

Rent a VPS or dedicated server. Install OpenClaw on it. Have your agents do the coding there (if you want, tunnel back localhost through SSH so you can watch along live in your browser). Makes no sense having a coding IDE on your laptop anymore.

🚨 A severe issue is currently happening with Codex. The Codex app on Mac is overloading, causing permanent damage to SSDs and overall device lifespan. Multiple users have already reported that their SSDs completely fried, forcing them to get repairs. This issue was raised weeks ago, and OpenAI claimed they fixed it. Yet, a massive number of users are still reporting the exact same problem right now. Source: Reddit ⬇️

AI is useful when an error message makes no sense. Don’t just ask it to fix the code. Ask it to explain what the error means, what caused it, and what you should check first. That way, you learn something instead of copying a fix

A lot of beginners rush to learn React, Django, or Next.js. But if you don’t understand the language underneath, you’re just memorizing steps. Learn the fundamentals first. Frameworks become much easier when you know what’s happening behind the scenes.

@OsayiPraise You’re very welcome Praise 🙏 Are you currently learning to code, or are you still trying to decide where to begin?
