Thank you to you! You are the best channel on the subject so far, I've learned so much that it created a passion AND I got a job in that domain last thursday thanks to you! You are the goat of agentic engineer. I recommend you to everyone who talks about this with me.

It took me exactly 30 seconds from the time i saw the PAIC url to the point of signing up. Any other "AI Engineer" content creator would have been laughed right off of my subscriptions. You, however, are worth every penny.
Signed up! Legend. I’m no programmer but have been getting quite good and built a few things, worked out it seems to be more about thinking now and having something else do the doing, so have been absorbing books on coding and it’s been working well -> level up time
I would be interested to see how a combination of Sonnet and Gemini worked out. One could lower the cost, potentially, while maintaining most of the speed and accuracy. I may give that a shot tonight or tomorrow to see for myself. Great video! Quickly becoming a go to channel for me. Keep up the good work.
This was the quickesr purchase I've ever made. Excited to get started! Quick question though - how does aider compare to tools like windsurf and cursor?
👍👍 Lots of great information is waiting for you. We're definitely due for a windsurf video on the channel. The key difference between Aider and most tools but Cursor + Windsurf especially is that Aider is THE foundational form of all AI coding assistant. It gives you full control over the context, model, prompt, costs, configuration and much much more.
Hey is the course suitable for a beginner level programmer? I've been learning the the fundamentals of Python, HTML & CSS since August, since the idea of leveraging the power of AI to create software excites me, hence how i found my way here lol.
Nice video! Somehow this whole ai coding wave managed to transform coding from a an engineering discipline to an activity that to me feels a bit more like alchemy. Even when I take the exact same steps in my workflow, I get wild differences in quality of output with no clear reason why.
What is your experience with how Aider handles medium-larger projects? I am currently using Cursor to help develop my 100+ script, 15+kloc project and am wondering how Aider would handle it.
I don't think Sonnet is the best anymore. I am getting great results with Deep Seek coder. I just had to imagine what Sonnet's system prompt might be. Then I came up with a really detailed, innovative system prompt and now I am getting better performance using Deep Seek than Sonnet 3.5. It's just the system prompt. You can make magic with it. Now I have my Cline set up functioning far better than Windsurf using Deep Seek coder.
Really nice tutorial on how you managed to make the agents work together! I was wondering if it’s possible to recreate Devin AI using similar techniques
Dan, thank you again for an incredible video. Have signed up for your course! Looking forward to learn more. Will you be sharing code for your project inside your paid course?
👍 If you liked this video you'll get a ton of value out of the intermediate lessons. No current plans to share the personal knowledge base in PAIC. (Great feedback btw)
Instantly bought the course u have putnme on wirh so many of yiur videos thb u got me here into these tools and stuff. So my i have yhis workflow or whatever of database llm agents noe ur showing there is no need for afents the nodels r the agents and u break the model into smaller chucks to get ur job done. Sp wjen i saw ur course i was thos woll tesch me eveytbing he knows. With so much out there i just need to know to sell to busoness snd work for myself . I just saw a video yesterday talking only 2 percentage of business r using ai. Im thinking om auper far behind but that is not the case at all❤
Put an announcement up on the currently still free skool community "Coding the future with AI". Tim Kitchens free course covers more of the prompting needed to get to the design making use of a.o. user stories. My feeling is you pick up where he more or les stops, very complementary.
Hi, I have a quick question: would it be possible to enable subtitles if I enroll in the course? English is not my native language, and I find subtitles (in English) very helpful to ensure I fully understand the content without misinterpreting anything. Thank you in advance for your response. Best regards,
Programming fundamentals, git basics, terminal basics and an understanding that AI is reshaping software. If you have these skills (or can adapt and learn them quickly) you will be successful.
That's quite a bit of upfront heavy lifting to write out your detailed spec. I find it's more efficient to just iterate with something like Cursor or Windsurf. I guess if you already had a spec then this workflow would make more sense.
Instead of writing long and specific prompts, wouldn't it be better to write code and use AI code assistance only when you actually need it? Or, for the most optimal approach, just use the cursor?
My take: Over the course of 2025. Writing code by hand is going to be more and more of a mistake every single day. Why? Because not leverage Generative AI is a mistake. This is what PAIC is about. It's why I created it in the first place - To make this transition easier.
Kalyan, this issue has been resolved. Give it another shot. If you run into any additional issues hit 'Report an Issue' and I'll resolve it for you. Thanks for being patient.
Excellent methodology with reverting the codebase and swapping out agents/models to compare empirically. This is exactly what happens at scale- just reverting pre-PR and comparing tests and lints. Reminds me of building an algorithm for stock trading, then testing it on historical data to see how it would have done.
Hi, I found that Flash 2.0 Reasoning is better for planning and critiquing and Experimental 1206 is better for coding. Perhaps you could try Experimental 1206 vs Claude 3.5 Sonnet?
You are the best of the best on UA-cam. As a former Silicon Valley bro, I appreciate your style of teaching and the excellent content that is actually useful if you are looking to build production grade AI powered agent applications. I have decided to sign up for your course as a start to my New Year. Right now I am finishing up delivery of an NextJS, React, modular Agent app, then Christmas break (first break in a year) then beginning 2025 with your course. Thank you for your excellence, UA-cam needs more of it. All the best.
Bought the course immediately. You are providing a tonne of value. Looking forward to doing the full course when I’m at my desk in the new year. THANK YOU! You are one of five channels I follow religiously.
Love your channel man!!! I'm laying the groundwork to develop a powerful chatbot and knowledge base for market analysis! 💡 The goal is to combine AI with trading expertise, using vector embeddings and automated workflows to process books and PDFs into actionable insights. This system will help analyze trends, create strategies, and decode market behavior-all while prepping for eventual local hosting.
lol. Honestly I get it, but no. It's a description generated by a prompt via the api in a specific format. It has the proper format for resources, chapters, hashtags, and yeah a 'ai description' for seo mostly. It saves me a decent amount of time as I'm shipping videos per week. We've literally talked about it on the channel. It's a good use case for LLMs. The 'bots' on the other hand are just real ppl minus the 'enterprise-ai AI fixes this...' comment. That seems like bots.

I will be buying this course simply on the basis of the value this channel has already provided. 🐐
I absolutely love this channel!! No hype just loads of information!!
No hype ?
😂 Really?
Hands down the best AI/Coding Channel out there, fantastic work!
IndyDevDan and AICodeKing are my go to channels for this
Clearly a more serious approach vs most others posting in this space. Amazing work, liked, subscribed and look forward to updates.
one of the best people in this space, and he's probably the only person providing an evergreen framework. thank you sir.
The "juice" might be with gemini-2.0-flash-thinking-exp-1219. It's the model for the /architect mode
Is exp-1219 better than 1206?
I was about to say the same, even with the thinking and the exp model, not the only flash model.
Flash is more Google hype. Try Flash after you run out of Claude requests and prepare to be irritated.
@@TreeLuvBurdpuI found 1206 to be better for coding
@@KevinKreger more irritations are you finding if I may ask? I’d love to know some examples.
Any chance you can offer a payment plan? I live in Viet Vietnam the price is a bit steep, but I know the value is there.
Thankyou. That was a great 30 minutes of my life. Intriguing and captivating to learn from an expert. Ill be joining today.
This is an excellent video. Thank you very much for making this.

A comparison of Aider against other API-based coding tools would be very insightful!
I thought I was doing it AI coding right, you just gave me an extra level up upgrade. Thanks

Do you teach us how to build Ada or our own Ai developer assistant?
What is your experience with how Aider handles medium-larger projects?
I am currently using Cursor to help develop my 100+ script, 15+kloc project and am wondering how Aider would handle it.
Aider is great for projects of all sizes. I use it to regularly ship features on a 125+kloc repo. 🎯
I'm surprised you didn't get throttled using Gemini Flash. I tried it in Cline and couldn't get much done as it kept throttling.
I don't think Sonnet is the best anymore. I am getting great results with Deep Seek coder. I just had to imagine what Sonnet's system prompt might be.

I had a real world Cypher SQL coding task. Flash was a total fail. It couldn't do postgresql and just kept apologizing. Claude saw a complete pro.
Well done with the video dan!
you must try the experimental versions. they are mind blowing

Love your Chanel im gonna check the course. Is it accessible if I don’t have coding experience?
Hi,
I have a quick question: would it be possible to enable subtitles if I enroll in the course? English is not my native language, and I find subtitles (in English) very helpful to ensure I fully understand the content without misinterpreting anything.
Thank you in advance for your response.
Best regards,
Hey William. Yes, subtitles will ship soon. I will bump this up for you and ship it into videos over the next couple days (expect pre Friday).
Update: subtitles are now live for every lesson in Principle AI Coding making it easier to understand the content without misinterpreting.
How long did it take you to write the prompt?
Looking forward to the new deepseek model
Is the price covers all the modules in the course or we need to pay again to unlock the modules ?
One price - 8 videos.
Start with every beginner lesson unlocked.
Unlocks for lessons 4-8 happen at 50% watch time of the previous lesson.
What would you say are the prerequisites to be successful in completing your course?
Programming fundamentals, git basics, terminal basics and an understanding that AI is reshaping software. If you have these skills (or can adapt and learn them quickly) you will be successful.
Try Gemini 1206 as well.
1206 is smarter than flash 2
That's quite a bit of upfront heavy lifting to write out your detailed spec. I find it's more efficient to just iterate with something like Cursor or Windsurf. I guess if you already had a spec then this workflow would make more sense.
I would like to see you use Gemini as the architect and Claude as the editor
Ibhave had good results with running the threats and passing tests output back to aider until the tests pass.
NICE! This is a powerful (and simple) agentic pattern.
Can DeepSeek V3 code like a champion?
im most excited for llama 4
I think Gemini 1206 is higher on the leaderboards, and it's also free.
I grabbed the course, can't wait to get through it!
Bought the course for a cheap and valuable price.
Is mistral able to keep up?

hello Dan, I am not getting any video, only audio.. not sure of others, please take a look. Thanks!
I meant, in the course. I bought the course and I have only audio. Excited for this.
Investigating your issue Kalyan. Thank you for letting me know.
