achoi68339754's honest review, The AI development team I built on my own by taming Claude Code after spending $1,000 a month learning it course

Before taking this course, to be honest, I had only tried using Claude Code, and had just played around with Cursor and Codex. Of course, I had some vague curiosity about them, but I don't think I ever really dug that deep. "Because they just do everything for you." But after meeting Instructor Hong, my perspective changed completely. Hong doesn't just cover the basics of how to use these tools. He explains how they actually work and how we should think about them. In other words, it's not just, "This feature exists, so give it a try." It's more like, "This feature exists, so give it a try. But here are some of its downsides. Here's why they're downsides. So use it in a way that suits your situation." I really love that way of explaining things. Most people just say, "This is great. Give it a try." But Hong doesn't hide the downsides. He doesn't hide his own mistakes in the course, either. I really appreciate how honest he is. I think that's why we can learn so much more from him. Because in the end, I think we need to focus on the parts that don't work. I feel like once you build a system, most of it works. But when something doesn't work, what went wrong and why? How should we interpret and trace it? Helping us learn to think that way has been incredibly helpful. I think this course is the same. The material itself can be pretty complex and difficult, but the way he explains it so that even someone seeing it for the first time can interpret and understand it is a real skill. He also condenses it all into a short amount of time and gets straight to the key points. In one of his courses, I heard Hong talk about his values: 1. "Your time is valuable, and so is mine. That's why I want to share only the key points." 2. "In the end, you're the ones who have to try it out. I'll show you the way and point out the things to watch out for, but you have to do it yourselves. I'll help you along the way." 3. "I'm not your mom or dad. I'll do my best to help you wherever I can, so don't give up. Ask questions, and let's keep moving forward together." Those were genuinely moving words that really resonated with me. They were full of wisdom. Thank you so much again. P.S. I just wanted to let you know that you've been a huge help to me, even if only this way, haha. Please always take care of your health. P.S. Sometimes people give Hong's courses low ratings... Personally, I think it might be because they're uncomfortable with having to try things for themselves..!! I feel like giving them a playful little bonk!!
