I'm looking to start learning programming, but I feel a bit discouraged with the rapid advancements in AI. I'm a 31-year-old with no prior experience in programming, but I really want to build websites for a living, especially since I have some Photoshop skills. I've been following online resources and taking notes, but I can't afford any paid courses. Recently, I came across a video about an AI that can build a website in seconds, which really threw me off. I also found a website called The Odin Project and want to know if it's a good starting point. Any advice on navigating this field, especially with AI changing the landscape?

I can help you set up a learning sandbox with Rails and React! This could be a great way for you to get hands-on experience. You’ll need to create a GitHub account, but don’t worry—I'm here to guide you!
The Odin Project is great! It's one of the best free coding curriculums available. Just dive in and finish it. Focus on building web apps, not just websites. Knowing how to leverage AI can actually put you ahead; solo developers who master AI tools can create stuff that used to take big teams a long time. So learn the basics first, and don’t let AI make you lose hope!
Don't let AI scare you off! There are tons of resources out there, like W3Schools, to help you get started. Just remember, having the determination to learn is key! Keep pushing yourself, and you'll find your way.
Hey, can I join the sandbox project too? I’m self-studying as well and would love some help!
