Coding With AI, Explained for Beginners

Coding doesn't mean typing every line yourself anymore. If you've learned the basics and want to know how programming actually works now, this is the video. I'll show you how to write real code using AI tools — specifically CLI coding agents like Claude Code, Gemini CLI and Codex — without handing over control or pretending you don't need to understand what you're building. This follows directly on from my How to think like a coder and Get started coding videos, so watch those first if you haven't. No fluff, no gatekeeping. Just how it's done.

When to Use No-Code (And When to Actually Code)

Talking to people around me about no-code tools — Zapier, Make, n8n, Power Automate — I keep noticing a stigma. A quiet sense that using these tools is somehow less serious, less smart, less "real" than coding from scratch. It's not. No-code is about solving the problem in front of you with the tools available, without eating into IT's time for something you could handle in an afternoon. In this video I take that stigma apart — where it comes from, what the tool landscape actually looks like, and a simple framework for deciding when no-code is the right call and when you should genuinely reach for code.

Company, Model, App — The 3 Layers Behind Every AI Tool

If you have ever heard someone compare ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot — and felt the comparison was a bit off — this video is for you. We use the words "company", "app" and "AI model" interchangeably, and it is costing us clarity in conversations, in vendor evaluations, and in procurement decisions. In this video I break down the three layers — company, foundational model, and graphical user interface — explain what a foundational model actually is, map the big four players including the brand-new Microsoft–Anthropic Copilot Cowork story, show how to identify which model powers an app, and close with a simple framework for picking the right tool for the right job.

AI Control Strategies: Keeping AI in Check

Almost everything you hear about AI safety is about one idea: alignment, making the model want the right things. But there's a second question the labs obsess over and almost nobody else explains. What do you do if the model doesn't want the right things, or you simply can't tell? That's AI control. In this video I break down the difference between alignment and control, how researchers keep a powerful model in check even when they can't trust it, and why the exact same logic is how you should be governing AI inside your own organization.

Programming Basics in 25 Minutes — For People With No Tech Background

Want to learn how to code but have no idea where to start? This is your starting point. In this beginner-friendly walkthrough, I cover what programming actually is, the core terminology every coder uses, the philosophy behind different programming languages, and how to write your first programs in Python and Rust — all using a simple cake-baking analogy. No jargon. No gatekeeping. Just the foundations you need before any of the millions of "learn to code" tutorials online start making sense.

I Built an Options Model With Codex and Claude Code

Build a working options pricing model using two AI coding tools — Codex to plan the project, Claude Code to implement it. This walkthrough shows a planning-first AI coding workflow: how to structure a project before writing a single line, then hand the spec to a coding agent and get a clean, modular options model out the other side. If you have wondered how Codex and Claude Code differ in practice, or whether AI can actually build something more complex than a single script — this is a real, end-to-end build.

Will AI Take Your Job?26:30

Will AI Take Your Job?

Will AI take your job? Maybe. But most of the headlines are selling panic, not signal. In this video I go through what the research actually says — WEF, IMF, Goldman Sachs, Challenger Gray, and Anthropic's own March 2026 study — which roles are genuinely at risk, which aren't and why, and what to do if yours is on the list. No fluff, no doomscrolling. From a state of worry to a clear-eyed view of where you actually stand.

Why Smart People Feel Stupid Around AI

A retired bridge engineer told me he was probably too old to understand AI. That struck a chord. This man studied more math than most of us ever will, and society had convinced him AI wasn't for him. In this video I break down why smart people feel dumb around AI, what the math behind it actually is (you may already know it), and why the jargon exists in the first place — because complexity sells courses, and mystification creates dependency.

Why I Stopped Modeling in Excel9:13

Why I Stopped Modeling in Excel

Excel mixes data, logic, and presentation into one fragile layer — that's a structural problem, not a user error. In this video, I rebuild a financial model from Excel into Python + SQLite + GUI using Claude Code, showing how separating concerns makes your model auditable, scalable, and maintainable. You don't write the code — Claude Code does. Your job is structured thinking.

AI for Project Managers: 10 Prompts I Use on Real Projects

AI tools can save project managers hours every week — but only if you know how to prompt them properly. This video shares 10 specific, ready-to-use prompts for the project management tasks that eat up most of your time: planning, risk assessment, stakeholder communication, and status reporting. Each prompt uses the PCG framework (Persona, Context, Goal) and is designed for real project work.

Creating a website from scratch with Claude Code

This website took me ten minutes to build — and I didn't write a single line of code. But my first attempt with Claude Code? Messy files, broken layouts, and code that did things I never asked for. The difference between frustrating results and actually useful output comes down to how you set things up. In this video, I walk you through the exact workflow that changed everything — from empty folder to working website, step by step.
