This is what I've been working on
Brad Traversy announces a new 25 hour modern React course with TypeScript, created to replace the old React front to back course. He explains bringing on Dennis to help grow Traversy Media, outlines the course focus on fundamentals, modern envs, real world projects, and a full stack MERN option, plus secure token handling and future content ideas.
Figma Oversimplified
This video offers a concise overview of Figma as a collaborative UI/UX design tool, highlighting its core features like frames, components, auto layout, variants, and prototyping, as well as practical workflows for designing web and mobile interfaces. It also touches on exporting designs to real products, including integrating Figma designs with Wix Studio to turn mockups into functional websites, and hints at a forthcoming in-depth two-hour crash course. The focus is on building reusable design systems (components and styles), arranging layouts with auto layout, and bridging design to development and deployment.
Cursor Crash Course & AI Coding For Beginners
The video introduces Cursor as an AI-assisted coding environment, outlining its interface, pricing, and how to use AI at different levels of assistance. It walks through practical examples—from modifying a shopping cart UI and building a SAS landing page to creating a Next.js markdown resume editor—while emphasizing context, rules, and workflow. The presenter also discusses best practices, settings, and how to evaluate changes and outputs within real projects.
I'm Really Starting To Like Coding With AI
The speaker opens by sharing a cycle of burnout and renewed motivation, noting how newer AI tools like Cursor and Claude Code have reignited their passion for building. They discuss real-world uses and side projects—ranging from a favicon generator to health-focused AI apps—and reflect on how AI can both accelerate development and create new learning needs for beginners. The video also covers practical cautions for beginners about over-reliance on AI, emphasizes maintaining core coding understanding, and ends with personal updates and sponsor mentions.
Developers have a problem with side projects
The video explains why side projects are often abandoned and offers practical tips to start small, avoid overengineering, stay accountable, and ship a minimum viable product to build momentum.
My Current Tech Stack
The video outlines the creator’s current dev stack, why each choice was made, and examples of projects built with it, along with lessons learned about building large apps with AI assistance and manual coding.
Build Next Level Projects with Claudes Agent SDK
The video introduces Claude Code and Claude Agent SDKs, contrasts client and agent approaches, and demonstrates building and running AI powered coding workflows with interactive terminals, streaming outputs, and remote environments via Warp Oz. It also shows practical demos of setting up, triggering, and reviewing agent runs from a UI and discusses potential applications and free credits.
Learning to code has changed
The video argues that learning software development today should focus on fundamentals and a structured, project-driven approach, with AI as a supporting learning assistant rather than a replacement. It contrasts past learning habits with the current landscape, outlines a practical workflow (main teacher + AI helper), emphasizes real-world projects, gradual skill building, and staying mindful of burnout while documenting and sharing progress.
Why I stopped making coding tutorials
A creator reflects on the state of YouTube tutorials, explains why long form educational content is struggling, and shares how he is adapting with a privacy focused AI driven platform while continuing to produce guidance and advice.
FastAPI Crash Course - Modern Python API Development
The video is a rapid, hands-on FastAPI crash course that walks through building a CRUD API for an issue tracker. It covers FastAPI basics (routing, schemas with Pydantic, Swagger, DI, and validation), organizing code with routers and a modular structure, adding storage via JSON files, and introducing middleware and deployment considerations. It emphasizes keeping fundamentals clear and learning through building the API end-to-end, with supportive notes on tooling and real-world parallels to Node/Express.
Developers are forced to use AI
The speaker reflects on how AI reduces the sense of discovery in coding, contrasts the initial spark of building with AI’s productivity boost, and urges developers to adapt by becoming architects of their projects while helping beginners navigate the evolving landscape.
