Instead of learning how to code, learn how to write great AI prompts.
Great AI prompts skills > coding skills
Just my opinion, based on my observation.
We'll one day talk about how 2020 showed us dust; being broke, chest pains & doing overnight coding sprints.
In the meantime, I'd like to thank God for opening doors for my friends. All we do now is talk about our wins & plan on that next trip to somewhere in Kenya ππΎ
