In 2026, anyone can open Cursor and create a fully-functional product in minutes. Maybe you've done it yourself! Something that would have taken you years to learn to make in the past is now available in seconds. So what does it mean to be a developer now? What does it mean to have a career in tech?
Here's a secret no-one tells you. Software engineering has never been about writing code. Coding is how you communicate with the computer, but the real skill has always been in critical-thinking, in problem solving, in building and architecting. It's always been about taking ideas and turning them into reality.
Thanks to LLMs you don't have to spend years mastering coding in order to be useful. But you still have a lot to learn! You still need to learn coding fundamentals. You need to learn how everything works. You need to learn how to build. But the journey is much more fun than it's ever been before. And I'm here to be your guide on that journey!
For 20 years, I've been telling people that want to get into tech to get really good at writing code, and then start to work out how to make real apps. But now, thanks to LLMs - that advice is upside down.
If you're starting out today then most of your work is going to be reading code, not writing it. And that means something that's a little sad for me to admit...
You are never going to be better than an LLM at writing code. I have been coding for 34 years and LLMs are at my level. You won't catch up.
BUT, and this is the big but, you don't need to! I almost never write code now. I let the LLMs do it for me, and you can too. Instead we get to do more of the actual interesting stuff. And that's what I'm going to teach you in this course!
I think it's incredibly exciting for you to be starting out today. You don't need to spend 10 years mastering a skill to be useful. You can start doing real things straight away!
I started coding when I was 8. Back then, YouTube didn't exist. There weren't any "learn to code" websites. I didn't even have the internet. There was basically only one way to learn. Make stuff. Lots of stuff!
And make stuff I did! I started making games and then graduated to making little bots to play against. And as I grew older I made websites for me and my friends, and eventually for customers.
I created, I played, I experimented. I had fun!
And through this, I got really good. I learned the coder mindset, and I laid the foundations that I've built my whole career on.
We've made a different type of course. One that teaches you the fundamentals of programming differently, and gets you building fun things and solving interesting problems alongside me. It has two parts:
Within a few months, you'll go from zero to being able to build games like Space Invaders, Tic Tac Toe, and Breakout in code from scratch. And in parallel, you'll be learning how to make real-world projects, using databases, adding auth, using APIs, deploying websites... Doing all the real stuff that developers do!
If all this sounds exciting, then I'd love for you to join us! 💙
The core "learn to code" curriculum is entirely free - over 200 hours of fun challenges to hone your skills. And the rest, where you get to follow me as I teach you how to build things, costs only $9.99/month (as cheap as we can make it and still pay the bills!)

The course has two strands: Coding Fundamentals and Building in the Age of LLMs.
Takes 12-20 weeks
From day one you'll be building fun things. You'll start by drawing, then animating, then making games, then building intelligence into your programs. Every level has lots of fun challenges!
Here are just a few of the fun things you'll make! 👇
In the LLM-era, you also need to get up to speed on how to create things, how to work with an LLM safely. So...

Seeing how much effort, thought, and even love is put into this course, it's such a pleasure to be a student here. Every explanation, each exercise turn this course into a masterpiece. I really enjoy it.
As someone with no previous coding experience - I've been blown away with the quality of this course. I've come so far in the past weeks and reflecting on what I've achieved and how much I've learned has been phenomenal. My journey has been from a complete coding novice, to someone who is confident and excited to tackle complex logic problems in code!
I was brand new to coding and this course exceeded my wildest expectations and then some. In my humble opinion, it will be one of the best choices you will ever make!
From the moment I bought the course, I realized it would be different from anything I had ever experienced in terms of classes and studying. Learning while actually coding has made it pretty fun. Getting help and encouraging messages from the community, sharing their experiences, and knowing that you're not alone made things much easier. It's such a pleasure to be part of it!
Getting into programming always felt overwhelming. I often quit before I really got started. However, the course has provided an excellent, guided path to self-sufficiency, and I now feel capable of growing and learning more in the field.
This course has pushed me past what I thought were personal limitations, and in doing so, has increased my confidence and motivation. Know that when you get the certificate at the end of the course, it will be because you EARNED it!
I joined the course with some Python knowledge, looking to learn front-end languages. I'd been struggling with self-paced learning, so I signed up for the structure and accountability. The teaching style — full of effective analogies — really clicked with me. In just 10 weeks, I've learned new material and gained clarity on topics I thought I already understood. Fantastic mentors, teaching, community, and global cohort. The course has exceeded my expectations—I'd highly recommend it!
The course provided me an opportunity to learn from a bonafide master. The purchasing power parity discount made it even more affordable. Thank you for making it accessible.
I'd recommend this to anyone trying to become a better programmer. I have done a fair bit of tutorial material online to learn programming but this course does the best job in teaching you the fundamentals. This course has given me confidence in writing code and made it fun! 😄.
Before I started this course I didn't think I could do the exercises we do now. I thought I am not smart enough, that "this is not for me" and I didn't expect anything which required so much effort to be here in the fundamentals of programming. But in the end, Jeremy shows it's yet another skill that can be learnt, even in such a short period of time.
I had doubts that I would understand this kind of material, and yet as I look back to where I started, I have a deep appreciation for the incredible skills and knowledge I am now nurturing and growing. How I think about thinking, and about problem solving in general, has changed dramatically since undertaking this course. I can't wait to see what's next!
I joined this course with some coding experience, but the clarity and structure made everything click like never before and the lessons are perfectly paced, building concepts step-by-step in a way that feels natural and engaging. It's a transformative learning experience that leaves you feeling motivated and excited to keep pushing your coding skills to the next level.
Honestly, I had no expectations when I stumbled upon Jiki, but it turned out to be my greatest discovery of the year! Given the cost, I didn't hesitate to join and give it a try. I had no experience whatsoever, and I'm very impressed with myself looking at what I can do! 100% recommended!
The course has been a game-changer for me.The pace is perfect: challenging yet not impossible. The exercises are very nice, and it is incredibly satisfying to see that in just a few weeks one can pass from simply moving a blob in a maze to program one that solve EVERY maze.
This course hasn't just taught basic structures and logic for programming, but it instills some basic tenets of the coder's mindset that will be invaluable on your journey (how to start from a blank screen, breaking big impossible challenges into the smallest solvable pieces, creating more efficient, readable, and maintainable code).
I have next to no coding experience yet have found this course to be so intelligently scaffolded, with concepts clearly explained and logically built one after the other, making the information accessible to learn.
This course gives you the tools to think through the process before even writing a single line of code which makes the actual coding part easier. Having a good mental model helps with understanding what's 'under the hood'
The resources are fantastic but it is Jeremy's knack of breaking things down into the smallest possible steps that has really helped things click for me. I've learned an unbelievable amount in a few short weeks and I'm now solving problems with code that I would never have thought possible!
Jeremy and the mentors have created an amazing resource like no other on the web. From the fun and sleek interface, to the live classes and labs or the discord discussions, it all comes together to make a superb learning experience.
Enrolling in this programming course was one of the best decisions I've ever made. The curriculum is well-structured, covering foundational programming concepts. The team is supportive, and truly invested in helping students succeed.
You will not believe how fantastic this course is! You learn to write code by writing code to solve problems that match--and push--your abilities. Jeremy is a master teacher. Jiki is the perfect environment.
For nearly a decade, I've repeatedly started online coding courses, but every time I run up against something that didn't make sense or a problem I just couldn't solve which stopped me in my tracks, meaning I have never completed a course, but now after years of trying, suddenly, coding feels possible.
