A free 10-page guide for CS students, self-taught and junior developers who use AI coding tools and want to make sure they’re still learning.

It starts with what recent research says about AI and learning, with the limits of each study stated plainly. Then it turns that into habits you can use today.

Inside:

• 5 working rules for keeping the thinking yours
• 12 prompts that ask the tool to teach instead of solve
• 8 concepts a working demo can hide, each with a question to check your own project
• A complete build lab: a webhook receiver that verifies signatures and handles duplicates, with milestones, tests and review questions
• A short checklist to run before you call a project done
