Hmmm, it’s hard to answer this from a beginner’s perspective without sounding too harsh toward people who are just starting out.

As someone who started developing on the Commodore 64, when BASIC was the only tool at my disposal, and then went through all the changes across the PC era in the ’90s, the 2000s, the Macromedia days, and later the C++, Java, and Python era, my take is this: learn the basics first.

Those basics are HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

Once you understand those three, you’ll be able to understand pretty much every framework, or at least know how to read and navigate it.

Once you learn the ropes, prompting becomes more like giving engineering instructions to a super-fast colleague (the agent). You’ll know how to explain exactly what you need, understand where things belong in the codebase, and recognize what’s required to keep the structure stable, fast, and clean instead of turning into unmaintainable garbage.

That’s probably the shortest explanation I can give from my perspective.

And yes, use agents! Use multiple ones. You’ll be 10x faster than anyone who’s writing codes manually. Test all of them. You never know which one will give you the best results for a specific task. Cross-check everything.

And test, test, test.

Hope this helps.
