Teaching code means building in public.
Sometimes the demo breaks. Sometimes a student spots the bug before you do.
That’s okay. We’re not protecting our ego—we’re pursuing transformation.

I believe the advent of AI is not a deterrent to actual coding, it is an inspiration to learn and learn faster for that matter. We still need to understand and be able to troubleshoot the code generated by AI.

Vibe coding has democratized software development.
Now you don’t need to understand software to ship it. 😂
Actual reviews from ONE app I’ve been analyzing:
“My profile settings don't save: I delete something, restart the app, and it's back.”
“The app rewrites fields I filled in myself.”
“The feedback form can't be submitted at all, there's no way to scroll down to the send button.”
“It takes so long to load and sometimes when it's loading, it'll stop and start,”
“I am being charged for an account I cannot even access,”
“The app crashed on my everyday. Even when they did an update for the crashes, my app crashed. ”
“Today after 2.1.5 update, it deleted my account.”
“Things disappearing or not loading.”
“It’ll play for 30 seconds and cut off ”
Congrats. You shipped.
This morning, I met a young man while reading the book of Job whose own life had been turned upside down. Yet he still believes God can restore what he lost. I walked into the office thinking I would teach. Instead, I was taught .Keep going..God is not done with you.

The power of repetition in tech is crazy.
1. Write code once → you understand it.
2. Write it 20 times → you remember it.
3. Build 10 projects → you start seeing patterns.
4. Debug 100 errors → you stop panicking when something breaks.
Repetition changes:
• Syntax → muscle memory
• Bugs → debugging skills
• Projects → problem-solving
• Docs → faster learning
• DSA → pattern recognition
• APIs → better system understanding
• Deployments → confidence
• Failures → better engineering decisions
Build → Break → Debug → Fix → Repeat.

Good morning, devs. The AI era isn't a reason to stop learning. It's a reason to learn faster, build smarter, and think deeper.

Happy new week 👋
Don't let social media convince you that you're behind.
Someone is learning HTML.
Someone is deploying their first app.
Someone is preparing for their first tech interview.
Run your own race and keep building.
Have a great week ☕

I’ve probably written more code manually in the last 3 years than most developers will write in their entire careers.
Teaching forced me to code every single day. It made my fundamentals brutally strong.
Wrapping up a 12week program with my students interrogating computer architecture, data structures & manipulation, the command line & PowerShell, and eventually databases. incredible growth -can’t wait to see what they build next! #teaching #computerscience #techED
Today's build: Smart Personal Log!
A journaling app with sentiment analysis, word counting, timestamps, and SQLite storage.
Built with Vue 3, FastAPI, Python & SQLite.
Code: github.com/alexmonyi/smart-p…
How was your day like fellow Dev?
#BuildInPublic #Python #FastAPI #VueJS
Was deep in Pygame Zero this week building Forest Run. Dodge a wolf + bat, grab coins, don't die.
Simple concept, but debugging indentation errors and getting animations to actually sync up taught me more than I expected.
Code's here → github.com/alexmonyi/forest_…

The best teachers are rarely the most skilled experts in their field.
They’re usually the bold ones who don’t care what people think — they’re willing to share what they know (and don’t know) anyway.
Teaching is an act of courage.
Shoutout to every teacher, mentor & trainer
Today we learnt about lists and how to access them — makes code feel cleaner and workflow faster. What are on today?! #Learning #Codingfundamentals
