You spend more energy deciding WHAT to learn next than actually learning.</p> <p>To solve this for myself, I built a lightweight tool called SkillPilot:<br> 👉 [<a href="https://skillpath-ai-web-app-nwej.bolt.host" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://skillpath-ai-web-app-nwej.bolt.host</a>]</p> <p>How it works:</p> <ol> <li>You select or type your target goal (Full-Stack Dev, AI, Data Science, etc.).</li> <li>Input your current skill level and available weekly hours.</li> <li>It generates a single 5-stage action path telling you what to learn, what to build, and what to skip.</li> </ol> <p>It's 100% free with no account required. </p> <p>I'd love to hear your thoughts: How do you usually decide which tools to learn next?</p> ai productivity devops beginners
