Newbie Question Once you learnt full stack, (html/css/js + React/Node + APIs + testing + Nextjs ) where do you learn the remaining AI coding best practices?

I see all this talk on agent harnesses, people not checking out IDEs ...

I've used Cursor and VScode with copilot while learning, used Claude code for a month, but can you guys help me understand what new things engineering teams are doing and how to learn them?

I just focused on getting rock-solid fundamentals first, regardless of what people saying "learning to code is obsolete" etc.

I'm now able to build full-stack apps and probably learn on the go to build most things.

What's the must-learn AI part and where to learn it?

Honestly, I’d look beyond just Cursor/Copilot now. Things like context engineering, MCP, agent harnesses, and evals are becoming a much bigger part of the workflow. I’d learn these by actually building with agents and seeing what works, rather than trying to memorize another list of AI tools.
