The course teaches you the language. The workflow that makes it worth half of what it used to be? Nobody's going to tell you that. I gave a friend in KZN advice last week that I'm still not sure he wanted to hear. He's a year younger than me. He's about to start a course in software development and website building. When he told me, I said what I actually believe: that's exciting, tech is the future, go do it. Then I told him the part that matters more. Learn the principles. Write a few lines of code by hand so you understand what's happening underneath. But don't stop there. The moment you're job-hunting, you're competing against someone who writes decent code AND has a well-built AI workflow around it. That person outperforms you in every shape and every angle. Their setup does the heavy lifting while they make the actual decisions. So if you're junior and starting now, the maths is brutal and simple. The person who only codes is racing the person who codes and orchestrates. Same eight hours. Wildly different output. I told him: learn to code, absolutely. Then go one layer higher and learn to direct the tools. That's where a junior in 2026 gets an edge they can't get any other way. I don't say this from theory. A lot of what I know came from working closely with my business partner, who's American, and my mentor, both operating at the frontier. That access opened my eyes to what's possible. Most people starting out don't have it. The tools are the closest thing to it that anyone can pick up for free. Here's the uncomfortable bit for anyone deciding what to study right now. The syllabus won't tell you this. The course will teach you the language. But finding the workflow that makes the language worth half of what it used to be? That's on you to go find. If you're early in your career, what's the one thing you wish someone had told you before you picked a course? -- Repost it to your network and follow for more.
