AI is a multiplier, not a substitute for skill.
This is why I think some of the “vibe coder” discourse is more about generating engagement than having an honest discussion.

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.

@Franc0Fernand0 And for those giving instances of how you can drive without knowing how the car was built and knowing a bad film without knowing and so on…..YOUR INSTANCES DONT MATCH!!! As a matter of fact, for you to be comparing things like that to this???? There’s a problem somewhere.

@Franc0Fernand0 "following high-level best practices and industry standards, please build this app for me that..."
rock-solid.

@mohamedzaid_dev @Franc0Fernand0 Your instance does not match at all bro
You can’t compare both of ‘em

Disagree, and I think you're confusing 'understanding the output' with 'knowing how to produce it manually.'
A film editor doesn't need to know how to operate a camera to know when a shot is bad.
The real prerequisite isn't code. It's taste + feedback loops. Those you can build without ever touching a terminal.

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.

AI agents become useful because humans provide knowledge, experience, and context. If we stop learning and rely on agents for every task, the pool of new human knowledge and context will grow more slowly.
We’re stunting ourselves. Wake up.
Humans still need to learn to advance.

Does anyone know if there's common advice out there about growing your Twitter followers by replying to lots of other people's posts?
I'm trying to figure out the motivation for all these bot reply accounts

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.
