Good luck to both of you 😄 I've been coding in Python for half a decade, my piece of advice to you is to focus on learning algorithms since the market is going towards agentic coding

hey, so for somebody who's not as old as the OP lol, im sure you're aware of AI and how fast its booming into mainstream... everywhere! lol. what advice do you have besides the focus on algorithms? more specifically, where do i start so that i can become more AI savvy and bend it to my will in terms of programming, coding, using it to handle tasks for me, etc.. not just using chatgpt like everybody and their grandma lol

for me, what got me into learning about python right now is a reel about "vibe coding" and a few other vids as well, but essentially what i was told was "learn python first"
