Okay, I finished a third or fourth rewrite of this basic intro to web APIs from a few years ago.

I might revisit some of the older tutorials as well. Yeah, I know, vibe coding is all the rage these days.

Still, someone might appreciate this.

Ey qué tal, el primer formulario de freecodecamp que hice mientras que el cliente estaba prendido en candela de lo enojao, me gustó hacerlo solito googleando y tal.

Trying to learn programming on your phone during your commute is frustrating when tracking scripts and ads keep breaking your focus. I built Learn JavaScript Pro to give you a distraction-free environment. It's a comprehensive curriculum covering modern JS, DOM, and ES6+. No ads, no recurring subscriptions—just one straightforward lifetime purchase so you can actually focus on the code.

Fear and Loathing of AI (Part III): “Learn AI” Is the New “Learn to Code”

By Cliff Potts, CSO, and Editor-in-Chief of WPS News

There is a sentence that shows up in every technological cycle right before the disappointment phase begins.

“Just learn the skill.”

It sounds empowering. It sounds reasonable. It sounds like personal agency.

It is also a lie we have been telling people for decades.

The obedience script

“Learn to code” was never about opportunity.
It was about discipline.

It trained people to accept that:

• structural failures are personal problems,
• economic insecurity is an individual moral test,
• and survival depends on constant retraining at your own expense.

When the promised jobs didn’t materialize—or paid far less than advertised—the story shifted seamlessly: you didn’t learn the right language, the right framework, the right stack.

Now the phrase has been updated.

“Learn AI.”

Same script. Same pressure. Same outcome.

Skills don’t collapse — markets do

Coding did not fail because people were lazy or incapable. It failed because markets flooded, tools commoditized, and labor lost leverage.

AI will follow the same arc, only faster.

The moment a skill becomes:

• widely accessible,
• easily automated,
• and expected rather than rewarded,

it stops being a path to security and becomes a baseline requirement for staying afloat.

The reward for compliance is not prosperity.
It is continued participation.

Training as cost transfer

Here is what “learn AI” really means in practice:

• You pay for the courses.
• You absorb the time cost.
• You shoulder the career risk.
• You adapt repeatedly as tools change.
• You accept lower pay because “AI makes you more efficient.”

None of that is accidental.

It is a system designed to push costs downward while extracting value upward.

The more often you are told to retrain, the clearer it becomes that training itself is the product.

The illusion of agency

People are encouraged to believe that mastery equals control.

But control does not come from skill alone.
It comes from:

• ownership,
• bargaining power,
• regulation,
• and collective leverage.

Without those, skill is just labor dressed up as self-improvement.

Learning AI may help you keep your job a little longer.
It will not protect you from the logic of the system deploying it.

What learning actually means now

This does not mean you should refuse to learn.

It means you should learn without illusions.

Learn AI the way you learn any tool:

• to reduce friction,
• to save time,
• to extend what you already do.

Do not learn it expecting salvation.
Do not learn it expecting loyalty from platforms.
Do not learn it expecting the market to reward you for effort.

Markets reward leverage, not diligence.

The quiet truth

The most dangerous part of “learn AI” is not that it is false.

It is that it is incomplete.

It tells people how to adapt, but never who benefits.
It demands flexibility, but never offers stability.
It promises relevance, but never guarantees dignity.

We have seen this cycle before.

And it did not end with freedom.

It ended with exhaustion.

For old timers and youngsters eager to learn, here is an amazing Game Source Code collection. I admire the effort a large group of people made to put it together for future generations.

It's a huge 1.2TB archive on the Internet Archive, containing source code from the 1970s to today.

This is an absolute goldmine.

Man, imagine you were a miner who got laid off, finally learned to code and now AI takes your job but fosil fuel industry is raking in money hand over fist thanks to worldwide corruption, so you go back to mining!
