Hello, I am leaving a review after signing up for the course and binge-watching for 5 hours and 30 minutes (I've watched about 10% of the total curriculum).
My coding level before taking the course:
- Started with "vibe coding" a year and a half ago. It was fun at first, but I felt frustrated by the roadblocks caused by my lack of development knowledge, so I studied the flow of HTML, CSS, and JS through YouTube.
- From that point on, I collaborated well with AI, and the process of completing programs or websites at the level I wanted was enjoyable. I started earning a small amount of pocket money, and now I earn as much from my coding side hustle as I do from my main job.
- My annual income has essentially doubled, but with the release of the Claude Opus model, I began to feel strongly that as a non-major, the AI's capabilities have become so incredibly high that I kept thinking, 'I feel like I could be doing this more efficiently...' Because I lacked development knowledge, it was impossible to maximize the AI's potential, and I hit a major wall.
- 'Do this for me' -> 'It's not working, there's this error, do it again' -> 'Now there's this error'... After over a year of infinitely repeating this cycle of relying solely on AI until it worked without even knowing the cause, I got exhausted. I felt deeply that this was inefficient in an era where we must utilize AI agents, so I sought out this course to grow.
The process of choosing this course:
- I was tired of the clichรฉ AI agent introduction videos flooding YouTube every day.
- I was fed up with content creators who have zero services of their own but try to win people over with titles like 'X years of experience at such-and-such company.'
- I was disappointed by thumbnails and content that took knowledge you could find just by asking AI, turned it into a script via AI, and packaged it as if it were something amazing.
- Those who have achieved even small results through "vibe coding" like me will know: for developer creators, a single service they built themselves proves their skills better than a hundred words. Looking at this instructor's services and YouTube content, I was confident that if I could absorb even a fraction of what's in this course, I would be able to grow significantly.
Course Review:
- Rather than explaining every single developmental concept, the instructor shares direct hands-on experience from the field, which makes it distinctly different and engaging. It's not a one-way explanation that ChatGPT could provide, but a sharing of experiences that keeps me focused and curious about what comes next.
- There are so many practical techniques that even AI doesn't tell you. I feel like, 'Everything I've been doing until now was just a struggle in the dark...' There are so many methods shown in this course that I have never seen once on YouTube. I almost feel like I want to keep this to myself.
- It's great to see how an elite senior developer actually works; it gives me a clear understanding of how to set up my AI partner and how to equip and move forward with these skills for a lifetime.
- For us "vibe coders," the goal isn't necessarily to get a job at a company, so we don't need to memorize development knowledge well enough to explain it. Instead, we focus on how to configure/build AI and efficiently achieve the final goal. I highly recommend this to my fellow vibe coders who want to achieve that. I feel like I've gained my freedom. haha
