The post argues that conventional schools often fail to truly teach programming, leaving students âtricked outâ of practical skills; it proposes selfâdirected learning using modern AI tools (like large language models) and pairâprogramming assistants, with JavaScriptâespecially Node.jsâas the ideal starting point because it runs both clientâside and serverâside code. By building simple web apps that generate images via AI and let users sell products (tâshirts, mugs, etc.), one can create a selfâsufficient business, gain practical experience, and avoid the debt of cubicle jobsâthus encouraging independent inventors to take control of their education and career.
