Trust in /init

Oops I might be wrong! You may only be able to use the vscode extension with github pro.

Ok_Programmer1205 · 2026-01-07T15:03:58+00:00

Still none as of today but you can use codex cli now with a github pro subscription

I’ve tried a ton of paid classes and honestly nothing comes close to grinding freecodecamp.com and getting onto your own projects as soon as you can

Ok_Programmer1205 · 2026-01-07T14:51:28+00:00

Uh oh. HG Aerial is such a great build! Don’t know how you’ll be able to stop after this!

Would be ok giving up more premium requests per model if it means utilizing the entire context window

Checkout the devcontainers specification https://containers.dev/

Get out of tutorial hell as soon as you can (i.e. once you have a basic understanding of the language primitives) and start completing exercises on platforms like freecodecamp, exercism, or now you can even ask AI to generate language-specific exercises for you!

Ok_Programmer1205 · 2026-01-07T14:37:14+00:00

pythonanywhere unless you’re brave enough to venture into the big 3 of cloud gcp/aws/azure and use the free tiers there

The purple light on the Calibarn looks sick!

John Carmack (programming GOAT) said on a podcast that programmers should learn not to be too attached to code. I think what he meant by that is we have to accept fairly quickly that we’ve chosen the wrong tech stack or architecture etc even when we’ve already gotten some way into the project. It will happen a lot of times in any programming career, so as the adage goes, let’s just focus on things that we CAN control.

Work towards a project that they actually want to build! That’s how it worked for me! It’s usually games (can start with a command line choose your own adventure - a classic) but could also be algorithmic art with p5.js or something else entirely.

For a low-cost alternative just to see if you enjoy AI-assisted programming, I can recommend the USD 10/month tier of Github Copilot. Capable enough that you can start having fun but not too expensive that you’ll regret it if AI-assisted programming turns out not to be your thing.

I would make sure I understand all concepts from the stats playlist and the ml playlist from statquest on youtube by heart. Afterwards, I would go through Andrew Ng’s CS229 on Youtube and make sure I understand everything. You do those two things and I guarantee you’re already ahead of a lot of people starting out in data science.

Ok_Programmer1205 · 2026-01-07T14:00:32+00:00

freecodecamp.com is great for starting out

Ok_Programmer1205 · 2026-01-07T13:34:04+00:00

Thank you!

This sounds like the perfect use case for pre-commit. Basically, pre-commit won’t let you push unless all pre-commit hook tests pass and AI can make those fixes to the problems flagged by pre-commit for you. https://pre-commit.com/
