Hi everyone,

How are you?

I am fine... I came here to tell you that I am using AI agents as my mentors for my React learning journey and so far so good.. i am pleased... I am using ChatGPT and Claude for now but you'l never know... I listed it as a project and so far so good there is not Terminator scenario going on in my room / classroom xD I will let you know what will happen... before that I watched BroCode React Crash Course from 2024 and I have few courses on Udemy but for know I will stick to the AI and if things dont go well I will go to Udemy of course... So please comment if anyone have some proposition for using AI as learning platform :) Have a nice one.. bye

Hi everyone,

How are you? :)

I installed Ubuntu, I am free from work few days and decided to give ti a go with ubuntu after many many years.. And honestly I am satisfied... In general 99% of stuff that I used on my Win 11 i installed and tweaked... the 1 percent is only that I am not using often so i postponed it for some other day.. I need to say that i didnt want to install LTS because non lts versions are better in general for developers or wannabe developers like I am in terms of software versions and stuff... so from now on I will keep informing you about frontend and ubuntu stuff... have a good one..

I am reviving old ghosts..

Hi guys,

Long time no read xD I just came to say that I am waiting official release of Ubuntu 26.4 LTS to install it and replace Win 11 after 3 years... Everyone is excited about it and myself honestly, last time i used Linux it was 2013, Xubuntu was my flavour then... In april I am on vacation and I want to use extra free time to transfer myself completely to linux again....I researched which flavours are now there and official ones only and there is no much difference since when I used it but I am choosing main distro Ubuntu. :) Some of people that I know used it and told me that is cool..Back then i found interesting Lubuntu and Xubuntu because I had low hardware, today I have solid machine and there is no need for that distros again :) Until new post have a good one folks..

Opus 4.6 first impress(ive)ions

TJ — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 21:00:27 +0000

Title says it all but I am using Opus 4.6 with my Claude Pro subscription I am stunned how it helps me learn React, how it creates interactive tutorials and also I am impressed how it works with little tweaks of its own (modes and subagents). I made same prompts that I made with pro version but with Sonnet 4.5 and it has big differences in creating, texting and everything that goes with it. It requires less corrections from my end as well... Pro cost me 20 bucks and has its own limitations thay annoyed me but nevermind I want to explore AI and learn React. I wanted to see a full potential... never know where it will guide me..

I tried Warp terminal...

I meet a friend of mine from Holland on Discord & I remembered something that he mentioned me two years ago he was selected to be in testing team for some cool terminal Warp... I thought it was paid only but it have a free version as well. I noticed (late) that I had it in bookmarks but my bookmarks is hell anyway xD I installed it and I was pleasantly suprised... It has a lot of power features and of course interesting AI integration, it offers credits but every AI model available. It has nice UI design. I was a bit nostalgic because over 10 years ago I loved to use Xubuntu and as any Linux it has powerfull terminal but I was always annoyed that I didnt use any on Windows 11. :) I logged in on Warp through my github account but it offers other options too.. It has AI mode and commands mode to toggle. And I will publish later on if I do something useful with it..

I was stunned but not amazed by AI models in this ONE tiny thing...

Hi everyone,

Again I am here to bother you with some trivialities... but yesterday I was suprised (not pleasantly) by AI models (although I still dont pay them) with the FACT that only Claude could make me interactive tutorials in html...I thought of them like something that would any AI could do it but I was deeply in mistake. Maybe someone would find this useful if they are learning something like I am and I was trying to make some interactive material for some serious website & and its course and only Claude could help me, unfortunately. I am seriously thinking to pay some PRO models of Claude but for now I am sticking with free version and it's limits... So to cut long story short if you ever need interactive tutorial use Claude only... for all of you that dont pay still pro agent models.. :)

Old wannabe developer comes for one more try...

TJ — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 22:21:48 +0000

Hi everyone, I am new on Dev.to and new to almost anything, sort off... Actually I worked some Wordpress websites and simple html/css/jQuery templates 1000 years ago :) but afterwards I tried so many times to learn something but I wasnt mentally strong enough...because of my problems in my private life and so on... I dont want to bother you with it. Anyway I am 36 years old now I am learning as never before... i even opened github profile put some little beginner projects on it, and I even purchased some Udemy top rating tutorials and now I am learning React. :) So if there is anyone there who is having some doubts about starting late or old here look at me and dont think anymore. I work in trucking industry but I wanna change my life & honestly I dont give a s*it about AI or bad job market I am going for it & I will post some interesting stuff here as they come along. See ya next time people!
