How to Code with AI in 2025 (For Non-Coders)

[@HadesTimer]

If you're not going to code and don't know how to, using an AI to help is pretty difficult. As someone who DOES code and has worked with AI to help code. I will say that the more complicated your program, the harder it will be to rely on AI as it will make a lot of errors and some it will have a lot of trouble fixing. Typically, knowing the basics of coding language and even the libraries or frameworks you are using are virtually required even if AI is helping you. Doing this type of thing is a great way to learn to code, but we are not in a space where AI can actually code for you and get it right without expert help. Even if it works 3/5 times, that doesn't mean it will 5/5 times and sometimes the errors are so silly and easily fixed if you know what you're doing. But if you don't, you'll be stuck for hours.

Coding is like a superpower and it doesn’t take much to learn how to make something useful. I’ve been doing it professionally for 20 years. It’s addicting and lots of fun.

Glad to see you're back, you're videos on Kaggle and ML concepts are golden!

[@Alesster101]

Probably the best straightforward no fluff videos I’ve seen on this. Thank you.

[@robmulla]

Glad you liked it!

Great to see you back Rob. You have a nicely balanced approach and helped me with Python when AI launched a couple of years ago. Both with the code, but also with project ideas and resources. In terms of coding with AI, I agree that the complications around keeping the LLM updated on it's own work - and prioritizing various requirements of the build just gets too complicated at this point pretty quickly. However, the newer canvas features help in that if you can keep a good clean outline of what has been completed and what has been a problem as a part of the canvas, the LLM can refer to it. Then use prompts that emphase iteration and taking things in steps. But yes, knowing the packages, and what they ultimately are intended to do, is really important to communicate with the LLM. If you don't it might recommend solutions that will take much longer and more wasted work. I mean ultimately, you will learn Python, but in the most frustrating of ways and with lots of throw-away work.

It's nice to see you back Rob ! Can't wait for your 2025 content !!

[@JT-lo9nv]

Happy New Year and welcome back!

[@gustavojuantorena]

Welcome back Rob!

Welcome back man!

[@einekleineente1]

Welcome back!!🎉👍🏻🍀

[@ShirleyDice]

Finally, Rob is on track! wohooooo......🤩

[@jaythizzle1969]

great. more content like this please

[@robmulla]

Thanks for that feedback. This type of content is new to me. Trying to figure out how coding is going to be taught in the era of LLMs.

You should add to caution people about sharing sensitive data with whatever AI model they’re inactivating with.

Great content

I am still coming to terms with the fact that Rob is actually a real person. His perfect chin and jawline along with his perfect radio voice had me convinced he was AI generated but he is real!

[@Qozalaq]

hey Rob. The problem is I'm getting lost while the project getting bigger. Could you focus these kinds of problems for non-coders.

[@epicthunder2502]

For the third example, do we have to clean up the data before asking the AI to make dashboards?

[@Barez.office]

While AI coding tools are awesome for programmers, they won't replace learning to code. You'll need to know the basics to really get the most out of them. These tools can make your life easier, but they can't do all the work for you. Want to learn to code? There are tons of free resources out there! > Choose the option that best fits the context and your target audience. Good luck

The cursor part is a bit too fast 🙂. How to set it up?

[@robmulla]

I could make a video about it if there is interest. This was just a quick intro.

[@Retburstjk]

Hello Rob, I'm fresh graduated data scientist with a master degree, and I always wanted to ask you about what is the value of getting expert competition in kaggle, is it worth it ? Does it prove anything about my skills ? Would you recommend it ? I know it is out of topic with your video but I do not know how to get your opinion otherwise, thanks in advance !

I have tried to learn code but all the educational things were whether too abstract to start with like integer puzzle games and boring as hell and so long videos that you can't even tell what are you doing and doing it for what since the coder who explains has lots of context but not giving it out properly so you basically can't get the logic. And if you go project based there are connection points you can't replicate and they make it hella confusing even in step by step videos. Tried to utilize AI but then again if you are not expert you can not use it properly since which code line and order you need to execute for not running into errors is ridicilous. So coding is not something you can utilize right away and finding a tutor who gives out proper simple applicable non abstract tips and directing you the right way is very hard. Most of the coders are very bad at teaching.
