Yuuup.. I really hope it does. This will be most developer's first impression of AI coding

Hey there! Glad you are enjoying the videos :) The dubbing is using TH-cam's new auto-dubbing feature, so as I understand it all future videos will have it. However, there doesn't seem to be an option to force older videos to be auto-dubbed. Maybe they will do it at some point in the future? But at least all the new ones should have it!

You're absolutely right. I'm using agents on v0.44 and they are killer. Most of the issues I mentioned here are no longer a problem. It's crazy! Will be showing off my new workflow soon.

Glad it was helpful! Wishing you all the best!

Yeah I haven't tried using it for existing projects; will do so at some point soon

Thanks for the suggestion - I will cover this in my upcoming free AI Coding 101 course!

You nailed it!! Completely agree

​@@VoloBuildsthanks🎉

This made my day, thank you! Yes, I came to that same realization as AI was making me faster! Hopefully AI Coding 101 will help newcomers make the most of the tools while also learning problem-solving skills!

Thank you!!

Haha that's awesome - enjoy the videos! Let me know if there's anything specific you'd like to see in AI Coding 101!

Yes, I think this is very on point! I think we will see many more *small* teams with low funding, addressing many small problems/opportunities. It's an exciting time to be an entrepreneur IMO. And for more stable jobs, I think you nailed it - being a software engineer and blowing everyone's mind at a 'traditional' business like healthcare, finance, construction, manufacturing, etc etc is a great opportunity right now.

Hey there - you can reach me on X - x.com/VoloBuilds - I'm happy to answer some quick questions but not available for in-depth troubleshooting or consulting at the moment

It is a very interesting topic. The question I would ask is: are *people* able to create "something new"? I would argue we are similarly remixing data that we have been exposed to. I explored this further in this video: th-cam.com/video/l-9EUBbktqw/w-d-xo.html - would love to hear your perspective on it!

Haha for some reason this seems to be the preferred course of action for a lot of people - not exactly sure why. So much better to take advantage of the opportunity, build your skills, and finding meaning!

Hahaha long live COBOL!

Yeah this is a big problem for sure.

If you have topic suggestions, let me know! If you mean sponsorship kind of stuff, I am not taking on sponsors at this time but appreciate any "SuperThanks" contributions!

Thanks, Jay! Hope you had a very Merry Christmas and wishing you a happy new year!

@ Thank you, same to you

Take a look at this video - it might be exactly what you are looking for! th-cam.com/video/mxX1TYrhPFo/w-d-xo.html Aside from that I'm also working on a larger AI Coding 101 course which will include more nuts and bolts details (and be available for free on this channel)

@VoloBuilds thanks you are a life saver 🙌

Haven't tried it!

@ Replit AI Agent will suggest it and implement it. It can dig a hole that you may have to crawl back out of depending on your use case. It’s a personal example I have learned firsthand about what you’re saying. It’s good to educate yourself because the AI may end up doing something that doesn’t align with what you intend. The DB layer isn’t something a non coder may be looking at on day one so it can easily be missed/overlooked during implementation

Well said Micbab. I will plan to include real work on a medium/large codebase a part of AI Coding 101 to show how to overcome some of those challenges when the code grows too large for LLMs to easily handle.

Layoffs are a small part of the bigger puzzle. Many of the tech layoffs were due to tax code changes. Also, I expect a huge shift from large companies to individual makers or small teams since things are much easier to build quickly and people are building software outside of traditional corporate roles. Look at the growth of the indie hacker community as an example. If you believe any of the official stats, software engineering jobs are projected to grow significantly (www.bls.gov/ooh/computer-and-information-technology/software-developers.htm) but I personally don't put a lot of weight into this. I don't think we can accurately predict anything past a year or two. Knowing how to code or at least how software works will enable you to take advantage of the current AI wave more than anything else.

I think they are getting caught up on what coding "is". In my mind, "building software with prompts" is still coding. You are still specifying how you want a piece of software to work by defining rules for it to follow. Knowing the right words/phrases and how software works helps you do this much more quickly.

While this makes sense on the surface, it does not consider the full market dynamics caused by the reduced cost. It also misses the significant precedent we have of other software automation and improvements adding MORE demand for software. I made a whole video talking about the economics of this (Jevons Paradox) and why I think AI will counter-intuitively create *more* software jobs: th-cam.com/video/56H0n98V6hg/w-d-xo.html

There is no Ai that can just code on the basis of prompting, as Volo said he spent two hours to troubleshoot, and it didn't fix anything. I spent 12 hours to troubleshoot, and the code gets worse. We are far from Ai taking over any jobs during this time. It can happen maybe tomorrow, or it can take ten years or hundred we just don't know what'll happen. But big corporates like Nvidia, Microsoft, Google or Apple, will not allow using these Ai models to code everything until they are sure its fully secure.

@@Jay-pw5hy Well , the milestones are inevitable , AI is advancing too fast that every opinion may or is rather vague!

thats zhe one opinion on that. i think, demand will increase! because now more software products can be build at a lower cost ! back then when google was introduced, the demand increased also ! it is the same eith chatgpt now..its google on steroids

Thanks, Nassim :) Hope you are doing well!

Thanks for watching! It will be a pretty detailed and long course so I plan to release it over time as it will take me a long time to film and edit the whole thing. Perhaps when I am done I can create a compiled version!

@VoloBuilds I can't wait 🫡

This is true for a lot of the cases. The interesting thing is that knowing how to code dramatically improves your prompting! Most people who don't understand software won't even know what to ask. This is what makes learning to code valuable in the future.

You "retired a senior SWE" or "you are a retired senior SWE" ?

@@Rami_Elkady There is no difference between those two sentences. They are functionally equivalent in the English language.

@@Steve-xh3by I see that English is not your native language, and maybe that is why you cannot see the difference: "You retired a senior SWE" means you made someone else retired ... Like you forced them into retirement... "You are a retired senior SWE" is a statement about you .... It means you retired ... Where are you from ?

so is it really worth it to pursue coding right now? i am seriously don't know, this is my passion and also i want to do it for money so i will learn it very seriously, could u please let me now please

Yeah I use Sonnet 3.5 for 90% of my coding and it gives me a massive speed boost. As a result I'm able to get more done and solve problems more quickly. But there is an endless pit of problems to solve - and we are in a position to learn how to direct the AI to solve the problems that matter most to us. So I think it's very valuable to learn how to best direct the AI. Jumping on this stuff now makes it possible to take advantage of the shifting landscape - not to mention avoiding the nihilistic depression of assuming everything is pointless.

Really appreciate it! Hope you have a wonderful day!

Just subscribe! The course videos will start going up in the new year. I'll also create a discord community where you can ask questions and such! Stay tuned :)

@@VoloBuilds Thank you. I am an absolute struggling newbie. I signed up for a phyton class on Udemy and a few more. I have some IT certs. I know how to prompt fairly well due to my linguistic background but coding is still abstract to me and I wanna ask a coder, "Does it matter if a line of code is indented or not?" Nobody can ever answer me that. I'd like to take a step by step class like the one you described.

:) Thank you very much!

Yes great point - I forgot to mention this - and it will also be slower than current models since it has to go through the reasoning steps.

for now , give it some time , it will be cheap

@@jonasRaymondl you are also right - eventually the price will go down for sure. But how long is eventually? Either way, the best thing to do is to learn how to use these tools and direct them to do what we want. Currently, learning coding or at least system architecture is an easy and effective way to guide the models.

Yes, hearing this all the time!!

Don't you think talking like a Sr Dev to an LLM will give better results than a PM or a PO..?

Yeah I agree - understanding system design and architecture becomes important much sooner than it used to. And in many cases, talking like a technical PM may be enough to build some products. I think it's a bit of a scale and ultimately depends on how technical your product is. Thanks for watching! I'll be releasing the AI Coding 101 videos starting in the new year!

Waiting ❤❤❤

You're in luck - I just posted an updated version of this for 2025 :) th-cam.com/video/eZHsfvSLFfg/w-d-xo.html

@VoloBuilds thank you. I'm gonna give it a shot. I've never been a real advance computer guy. It i want to give a shot none the less.

@@959pilot4 that's awesome! Wishing you luck! And I'll be making a free AI-first coding course here on TH-cam called AI Coding 101 - so it could be great help for you!

Yeah, they built an impressive product for sure!

Hey Fernando! I think Lovable is a fantastic way to get started but as with many other AI tools you could find yourself in the dreaded AI troubleshooting loop if you don't know how the code works or what to say to the AI. For this reason I think it helps to at least learn some high level coding concepts. I actually just made a video on this so check it out: th-cam.com/video/eZHsfvSLFfg/w-d-xo.html Also, I will be making a series called AI Coding 101 which I'll start releasing in the new year which sounds like exactly what you need, so stay tuned!

@@VoloBuilds this is amazing. thank you very much!! will be looking for this series. Thanks!

@@VoloBuilds so, I went ahead and tried lovable for 3 days and I was unable to make my app. as you said, it gets to a point that you encounter so many problems that it cant fix and I dont have the knowledge to fix, would it be possible to connect lovable to my current wordpress website so I can use it to finetune pluggins or to create mini apps that can integrate with what I already have and thus dont having to build everything from scratch on lovable? Thank you! I am waiting for the new video haha new fan here!

@@fernandolavado Hey Fernando! Glad you are enjoying the videos :) I am not super familiar with how Wordpress sites are managed, but if you have the code in a GitHub repo you should be able to open it up in Lovable I think. But that seems like it could be a somewhat complicated workflow. Wishing you luck with it, happy new year!

Best thing to do is learn to wield the tools and know their strengths and weaknesses!

If we can create machines that can think, we can out-accelerate most of the problems that we face today, including the big ones.

No problem! Merry Christmas :)

Yeah I gotta try it out for sure
