Great work showing how you use these tools. Question, you seem to have some underlying knowledge about the moving pieces however I don't think your colleague from marketing knows what Eslint is. I think for now these tools are good for making devs faster however I find it hard to believe James from marketing is pushing out something more complex.

[@SeanTechStories]

Good point. I guess this would be more helpful for product managers or data scientists who want to prototype something out without feeling scared of building. For marketing and business folks, we might need to use some simpler tools like V0 or Devin or Bolt.

Hey Sean, I’m a first-year CS student specializing in AI/Machine Learning. The rapid changes in the industry concern me a bit because I wonder if what my university teaches now will still align with the skills employers want when I graduate in 3 years. Right now, the requirements seem similar, but I expect the job market to prioritize individuals who effectively use AI rather than those who can build full-stack projects just based on time efficiency. From the video (Basics: You can launch any app under 10 min without CS degrees | Cursor, Vercel, Claude), it’s clear that AI can speed up development significantly-something that would have taken hours to do manually. I know Python, C, and Scratch, and I’m trying to figure out the best path forward. I want to build apps/web projects for my own sake, but I’m torn between learning from scratch and using AI tools to prompt and create. If I focus on learning from scratch, I feel like I’ll miss out on developing skills to effectively use AI. My question is: Should I focus on learning the fundamentals and build from scratch, or should I leverage AI for efficiency and learn how to prompt and create with it? Also, in the future, will AI prompting be a recognized skill on platforms like LinkedIn? Thanks again for the great video-it really got me thinking! ❤

Hey there! Thanks for sharing your concern and your background. The answer to your question is actually simple - do both. As you said "the job market to prioritize individuals who effectively use AI". If we want to leverage AI to build efficiently with prompting, at least for now, those who can use AI super well and effectively are those who at least understand the basics of how to do things from the beginning. Without a solid understanding of the structure of an app, it's harder to build a rocket on top of it. It's like Elon probably wouldn't need to know all the details of how to prepare each little piece of materials to assemble a rocket, but he understands how it works to build a rocket from scratch and he can leverage his team of genius engineers and scientists to do great work. I think AI prompting will become a must-have skill, just like critical thinking and reading and reasoning. But I wouldn't expect it to be a skill that would be certified just like we wouldn't get a certificate saying we are good at 'critical thinking' or 'leadership'. AI prompting will be a differentiator between good talents and great talents.

very helpful

Thanks!

I spent a whole semester as my project to build app but it now you can do it in 10 minutes? 😂😂😂😂 The world is changing very fast than you can imagine

[@SeanTechStories]

Haha yes the world is changing really rapidly. But for this video it is simply to ‘deploy and launch’ an app. There was no feature in it but I can say that launching any app is all about imagination and exploration now, rather than feeling stuck on all the syntax errors and lengthy setups. Best of luck on your university project!

[@hadaraly]

liked it but app was really simple . I would like to see something more like your previous long video . Iterate in videos with errors and build different flows 🙃

[@SeanTechStories]

Thanks for your feedback! Those longer videos will be coming at the same time:) This is a tutorial series I'm building to segment a lengthy building process into multiple episodes for people who are less familiar with development in general.
