Hey! I just got a great question from Tom about what AI subscriptions I’m using, and since I just wrapped up recording that section of my course, I figured I’d share it with you all. https://www.loom.com/share/ea9ac81827a8445292e8d4704d30be11?sid=690b31f4-fc48-4906-9532-752428fc8fad Here's what I cover in the video: - What AI tools and subscriptions I’m currently using as a developer. - How I integrate GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and Claude in my workflow. - The reasoning behind my setup, including API integrations with Cursor. I’d love to hear what subscriptions you’re using and why! If you’ve got any questions or want to share your setup, let me know.

I've received a bunch of questions and emails over the past few days asking "how can I prepare for the upcoming course" and "what do I need to know" before starting the course. The TLDR is that you need to have a basic understanding of NextJS, Typescript, and React. If you haven't worked with these technologies before, don't worry! It is pretty easy to pick up these technologies especially with the help of AI. To help you get started learning the fundamentals of these technologies, I've attached 2 free YouTube tutorial that do a good job of covering the basics of NextJS. By the end of these tutorials, you'll know the basics of working with React, Typescript, and NextJS. If you are trying to learn these technologies as fast as possible, I'd focus on learning all the high level topics first then dive deep into the specifics. Here's exactly how I would learn the high-level topics: - First, pick one of the YouTUbe tutorials and pull it up on one screen and ChatGPT in the other. - Do NOT code while you're watching the video the first time through. - As your watching the video, I would approach everything with a child like curiosity. What I mean by that is every time you see something new in the video, take a screenshot of it and pass it over to ChatGPT. Then, ask ChatGPT, "What is this?", "When do devs use this?", "Can you show me another example of this?", "As a new dev, what should I know about this". - As your asking ChatGPT a million questions, your goal is to understand all the high level terminology and how everything connects together. By the end of this high level review, you should know the following words even though you might not know how to 100% use them yet: - Props - Components - Dynamic routing - async / await - Pages - Client side - Server side Now, it's time to go deep! Here's how you're going to do that: - In this stage, you're going to get your hands dirty and actually start coding along in the video. - As you are cloning the applications, pay attention to when you create new components, when you add `useState` and `useEffect` to your app. - The goal of this phase is to build up muscle memory when it comes to the core elements of a NextJS app.

Whenever you guys have a chance, you have to checkout the new OpenAI model! It's INSANE!!! Here's a link if you want to read more about it: https://openai.com/o1/ So far, I've used this model to help me with a bug that I've been really stuck on at work and it solved it instantly! I've been bouncing back and forth between Claude and ChatGPT-4o for support but neither could help me solve the issue. Right when, o1 came out, I tried it and it solved the issue instantly! Please let me know what you think of the model when you get to try it out on your projects!

I do not know if I'm already cooked from learning to code all day (including vim motions), but it made me smile. Really makes me want to dive into AI video gen even more https://youtu.be/Ec4NyXeBHrA?si=doWPr8N4zxm-Etq4
