AI fixed my syntax issue. It made a new one.
by•
Coming from a -technical background AI coding tools have been a miracle. I do not get stuck, on missing semicolons or forget how to write a function anymore. I can just tell AI what I want in English.
I have hit a new wall: architecture. AI can write code instantly. Ai does not tap my shoulder and say, "Hey this database structure is going to collapse when you get 100 users." AI obediently builds the bad idea I asked for.
For the self-taught or non-technical builders out there—how are you learning what to build now that AI has solved how to code?

I’ve found that asking AI to explain the tradeoffs before generating the solution helps me learn. It forces me to understand the architecture instead of just accepting whatever codes comes back.
@julio_erdos The 100 user example is exactly the kind of thing I’d worry about. A prototype can work perfectly with ten users while hiding decisions that become painful once usage grows
@julio_erdos @rahul_manjhi1 For me, learning system design basics would probably be the next step after learning to build with AI. Things like databases, caching, authentication, APIs, and queues give you a much better sense of where problems can appear.
