CodeFast has 12 hours of video.
It took 10 minutes to make 1 minute of content.
That's 120 hours of deep work (planning, recording, editing, writing).
There were moments when my software was buggy, my mic didn't work, or I repeated the same sentence 5 times.
And that does not even count building the entire platform with user portal, chapters, lessons backup, etc...
Making a course is super hard, even though mine is short. Kudos to all course creators out there 👏

"Money follows value", I feel this a lot. I remember back in 2020 I got into crypto and that drove me to learn more about money. I realized there were so many ways to lose money, and creating value (rather than seeking money) made much more sense.
When you have a skill, something you can provide that's valuable, you have the foundation for acquiring wealth. Not only that, but you have something to give back to society. Rather than just playing the market, or exploiting people, you can interact with money the way it was meant to be used (I presume). By exchanging goods and services.-

I think that's spot on. Money is intended as a way to transfer value. If you provide a lot of value for people, that's de facto the best way to earn money.
One thing that's easy to miss is that part of what makes something valuable is its rarity. For example, if we were to evaluate water on its own merits, its value would be near-infinite, because need it to live. But because water is so abundant, that drives down its value/price.
So profiting from creating value really comes down to creating rare value.

With the launch of CodeFast, I've received lots of questions about using Cursor, V0, or Bolt to code.
Using AI to code without knowing how to code is like buying a Ferrari without knowing how to drive.
AI can give you a feeling of progressing super fast because you can build an entire landing page using English.
But the moment you have a bug or want something specific, you won't be able to connect the dots and get stuck in the AI loop.
Coding is easier than ever, but there's no cheat sheet:
Learn the basics of coding first (use AI to explain everything)
Then use AI to code faster

I taught myself to code a few years after graduating college with an English degree. The thing I tell most non-technical people debating whether to use no-code/AI tools vs learning to actually code is that learning to code teaches you fundamentally new ways of thinking and reasoning, not just superficial methods for manipulating website elements on user interfaces.
It teaches you that "simple" actions on the screen break down into complex step-by-step operations, and that you need to be able to think in terms of those step-by-step operations. It teaches you the value of creating abstractions — e.g. JavaScript functions — to package up complexity in a way that other people — including yourself when you visit your own code base later — will be able to reason about and modify. And it teaches you how to look at other people's finished web apps/sites with a true intuition about how it was built and how you might build it better.
If you don't allow a coding education to change the way you think, you won't only be a less capable engineer, you'll also be a less capable person.

AI tools can assist in coding by generating snippets, debugging, or optimizing code, but they’re no substitute for learning to code. Understanding core programming concepts, logic, and problem-solving is essential for writing efficient, secure, and scalable applications. AI complements these skills, acting as a helper, but real expertise comes from a solid foundation in coding.

Seriously, any day now I’m expecting to read a headline along the lines of: “@csallen gets head stuck up Marc Lou’s ass”.
What sort of kickbacks are you getting to be boosting this grifter so much?

Boosting a domain rating from 0 to 43 in 10 days is remarkable! Focus on building high-quality backlinks from authoritative sites, optimize your on-page SEO, and leverage social signals. If you'd like, I can share specific strategies or tools to help you replicate this success.
