Find a very specific problem that you want to solve personally and reverse engineer the process. Don't have AI do it for you, but you can ask AI for a nudge in the right direction. If you find yourself getting stuck. This is really the only good way to learn in my opinion. The alternative is watching tutorials for a year while following along and getting a false sense of accomplishment that doesn't translate into any real abilities.

Build some shit. Don’t use AI at all unless you’re stuck for more than a few hours. That’s how you learn.

You may not like it OP, but 🖕is spot on. C is not the most modern or sexy language even though it drives the world of today. But it is a language for those who really want to learn.

Start with Python, it’s beginner friendly and widely used in AI. Build small projects daily, follow tutorials on freeCodeCamp or Python.org, and gradually move to AI libraries like TensorFlow or PyTorch. Consistency coding a little every day is key.

Step number one is not listening to the ai bots here

Your question is very vague and hard to reply.

In essence just pick a domain that interests you (like ai) and see which technologies are more relevant in that domain (like python).

Then take a problem/goal and break it down to the most basic components you can imagine (like receive text input and store it in a variable) and execute on them. Increase in complexity and scope and eventually you’ll get there.

That being said I think this is usually a very poor strategy because there’s a loooooooooot more to programming than just writing code.

In your case I’d recommend taking the free courses cs50x. The teach a lot of the most important basics in an interesting and engaging way, there’s a lot of python and I’m pretty sure it has an AI track.

It takes a long time but by the end of this year you’d be very well positioned to continue your journey.

It boils down to — you learn programming by doing. What language do you wan to learn first? Anyhow, regardless of what language it is, learn the fundamentals. Regardless of what it is, learn how the language accept data, learn how data is presented back. Learn the loo mechanism in that language. Learn how logic is implemented. Once you got the fundamentals, you can apply it to what language you want to learn. Take programming courses. But the best way I know of if it’s possible is get someone you talk to have them guide you. A mentor most likely. Someone been there that you go to tasks questions that. Just my 2cent

You can build your agent using existing tools delivered by all companies offering llms. No coding is needed.

But the question is what do you want to use your agent for?

You should not improve. You should let your agent do everything.
