How I Would Become a Developer Today

If I were starting as a developer today, here's exactly what I'd focus on. After two decades building software, I'm watching AI fundamentally change what it means to learn development. This isn't about skipping fundamentals - it's about approaching them with better tools. In this video: - The three foundational pieces you can't skip (web fundamentals, HTML/CSS, one language) - Why picking an AI ecosystem matters as much as picking a language - How to leverage AI as a learning tool without letting it replace your thinking - Finding community when solo development feels isolating - Why shipping and breaking things is still the only way to actually learn This is a pinned intro to BuildAtScale - practical exploration of AI tooling for developers who want to build more with the tools available today. --- BuildAtScale: youtube.com/@BuildAtScale Feedback & requests: buildatscale.tv
