I used to spend weeks trying to learn a new programming language. Reading books, watching tutorials, taking notes. |
Feeling like I was getting nowhere. |
Then I discovered something that changed everything: using AI to rewrite my projects in different tech stacks. |
Last month, I wanted to build a game server that could handle thousands of players. |
I knew Python, but had never built anything that needed to scale. Instead of drowning in documentation, I described what I wanted to build, and the AI helped me write a fully Python game server that scaled beautifully. |
This week, I wanted to create a URL metadata extractor. I could have stuck with Python, but I was curious about JavaScript. |
|
So I asked the AI to help me rebuild it using Node and Express. Within hours, I was running a working JS app and actually understanding the code. |
Here's why this approach is so powerful: |
You learn by doing, not by studying. |
You're not memorizing syntax in isolation. |
You're building something real, something you care about, with guidance that adapts to your questions. |
The traditional way of learning feels like studying a foreign language by memorizing vocabulary lists. |
This way feels like having a native speaker who helps you order food, ask for directions, and have actual conversations. |
What I love most is how it collapses the beginner phase. |
That frustrating period where you know what you want to build but can't figure out how to translate it into code? It's gone. |
You can focus on the interesting problems instead of fighting with setup and syntax. |
Of course, I'm not becoming an expert overnight. But I'm building muscle memory through real practice. |
I'm learning the patterns that matter in each language. I'm developing an intuition for when to use different tools. |
And most importantly, I'm shipping actual projects instead of abandoning them when I hit a roadblock. |
Learn AI in 5 minutes a day |

This is the easiest way for a busy person wanting to learn AI in as little time as possible: |
Sign up for The Rundown AI newsletter They send you 5-minute email updates on the latest AI news and how to use it You learn how to become 2x more productive by leveraging AI
|
Sign up to start learning. |
If you've been wanting to learn a new language or framework but keep putting it off, try this approach. |
Pick a small project you care about. Ask AI to help you build it in the tech stack you want to learn. Ask questions about the code. |
Modify it. Break it and fix it. |
You'll be amazed at how quickly theory turns into practical knowledge you can actually use. |
