Thinking of "ai Enablement" Course for Developers – Would This Be Useful?
Key topics
- Some use AI daily and are excited about what it enables.
- Some stick to the “old way” of doing things and avoid AI tools.
- Some are honestly worried – they see themselves as “code-writing machines,” and if AI can write code, they fear their jobs are at risk.
I don’t think developers should see AI as a threat. I want to help reframe this mindset by showing quick wins—how AI can make their work faster, less repetitive, and more impactful.
I’m considering building a short AI Enablement course for developers that’s not about ML theory or training models, but rather about practical skills like:
- Using AI to debug and refactor code - Automating repetitive tasks - Adapting workflows to leverage AI instead of fighting it
Before I invest time into building this, I’d love your honest thoughts:
- Would this kind of course be valuable for developers? - What topics would you want covered (or not covered)? - Do you think framing it around mindset shift + quick wins is the right approach?
Appreciate any feedback
