How learning to code will transform you

Welcome to your 7 day transformation process, where you will become unstoppable in 2026 and not burn out in February like most New Year resolution guys.

Today’s skill is coding.

I believe it’s self-evident that this skill is a must in today’s world.

Of course, at first it looks scary.
All those weird symbols and words on a huge black screen that you don’t understand.

But coding is nothing like that.

It’s a fascinating world of logical thinking, problem solving, and real, visible results.

It forces you to think clearly.
It sharpens your logic.
It trains your brain.

So how do you start?

Most beginners make the same mistake.
They buy a massive book with 1,000 pages about quantum computers, CPUs, and extremely advanced stuff.

Then they wonder why they quit after a week.

Here’s what you should actually do — and this is exactly what I did.

First, I found a solid beginner course:
CS50’s Introduction to Programming with Python on edX.

Then I did something most people wouldn’t do.

I used AI as my teacher.

I have endless chats where I discuss projects, code, and debugging.
I ask questions. I break things. I fix them.

That’s how I pushed my coding skills to another level and started writing programs with over 100 lines of code.

I still have a lot to learn.
I still have weeks left in CS50.

But I can safely say this: starting was one of the best decisions I made.

And you can do it too.

Stay tuned for the transformation finale.
