Use the AI to teach you. I’m similar not full coder, although tinkered since I started in early 2000’s with html in notepad :)
I made a /teach-me slash-command.
Everytime I run into something I want to know about I run it. It launches a background subagent (forking context) that check (and updates) my ‘learning-profile.md’. I can pass additional requests, but otherwise it just deduces from context.
It then creates an explainer/lesson. And sends it to my kindle (using a custom created mcp) - so I can read it offline. Not breaking my flow.
I’ve never learned so much so quickly, about everything. It’s awesome.
I use the same mcp from phone apps. Everytime I want to learn something I just ask.
Also: learn about the GIT concepts (not commands). You’ll learn much quicker when you can mess up and retry ;)
I am not a developer. Could you explain the process in a bit more detail? I want to build the same command. I only have the $20 subscription for Claude. Do I need to create a project and create a learning profile.md file and feed what I already know? And then what do I do?
Hi HN! Would love any feedback or suggestions. I'm still iterating on it :)
I'm considering creating a Chrome extension when the need is there. Thanks for checking it out!
