How to Actually Learn Programming in 2026 (Not Just Vibe Coding)

Описание: How to Actually Learn Programming in 2026 (Not Just Vibe Coding)

🚀 Stop watching endless tutorials and actually learn programming that sticks.

In 2026, AI tools generate 85% of the code developers use. But here's the thing: copying AI-generated code without understanding it is just vibe coding. You won't learn anything. This video shows you the exact method that turns AI from a crutch into a teacher.

The secret? Generate code with CLI tools like Claude Code, Cursor, or Aider. Then create comprehensive test cases. Get step-by-step explanations. And here's the game-changer: deliberately break the code and debug it yourself. That's where real learning happens.

💡 Every project becomes a complete learning cycle: generate, test, understand, break, fix, repeat. Build a weather app and learn API calls. Create a game and understand loops. Make a web scraper and grasp data structures.

👉 This isn't about memorizing syntax. It's about building intuition for how code actually works. In 2026, programming is a verification game, not a memorization game.

🔧 Tools Mentioned:
Claude Code (deep reasoning & debugging)
Aider (flexible AI model support)
Cursor (VS Code-style AI editor)

Start with one small project you can build in an hour. By the end of the week, you'll understand more than a month of tutorial videos could teach you.
