Learning and careers with AI agents

Use agents to grow as a developer, not to skip learning.

📖 Key ideas

Ask the agent to explain code line by line when learning.
Try writing a solution first, then compare with the agent's.
Interviews still test fundamentals: data structures, debugging, system design.
Employers value people who can direct, review and verify AI work.
Show a portfolio project with a clear README noting how AI was used and checked.

💡 Real-life example: Like a calculator in maths: it makes you faster only if you already understand the sums.
