Man, it's almost maddening how many people cry out "I need AI to code!" Like, dude, I went from having 0 practical coding knowledge, to having multiple websites/applications built, and am currently integrating Obsidian and Linux into more of my life. FreeCodeCamp is the BEST for starting out.

Like, I learned HTML, CSS, and JavaScript from them. My boss is heavy into ColdFusion, so when the Learn ColdFusion in a Week site didn't click, I could ask him. Hell, even now, I run into a problem and I find message boards discussing the same thing and learn something new.

The real difference is the time investment. Like yes, a website that would've taken my boss a few days to build if we weren't doing everything else took me maybe a week and a half. But knowing I could now figure out what's causing my code to fail and fixing it without AI, that's pretty cool.
