Set up AI to help you code
Let's do this one step at a time. Tick them off as you go.
- Install a code editorVisual Studio Code is free from Microsoft. AI-first editors such as Cursor build an assistant into the editor.
- Add an AI coding assistantGitHub Copilot works inside VS Code and other editors and offers a free tier.
- Create a GitHub accountGitHub stores every version of your code, so you can always undo a change.
- Build something smallAsk the assistant to build a one-page website, then change one thing at a time and read what it changed. Small steps teach you far more than one giant request.
