How I Would Start Coding from Scratch (and Never Be Replaced by AI)

Are you ready to dive into coding but don’t know where to start? In this video, I’ll walk you through how I would learn to code if I could start over as a software engineer at Google—and most importantly, how to become an engineer that AI can’t replace.

We’ll go step-by-step, from the mindset you need to succeed to the skills that matter most: mastering Python, conquering algorithms, exploring core computer science concepts, and ultimately, discovering areas in software engineering that AI may never fully grasp. Whether you're tackling LeetCode problems, starting your own projects, or exploring databases and operating systems, I’ll share tips to help you build a career that’s future-proof.

By the end, you’ll know how to use AI as a powerful tool to accelerate your learning—without letting it define your skills.

If you're ready to start a rewarding coding journey and set yourself apart, this video is for you! 🎉
