AI has made me _dramatically_ faster at building software. You can see it on my GitHub: a sudden surge of activity at the start of September, several projects started, and a few of them actually shipped.
That part isn't up for debate. I can go from an idea to a working prototype in a day. I can as...

I'm a final-year student at Dharmsinh Desai University in Nadiad, and this October I'm doing something about that.

**A junior role.**
The requirements were things like:

Stop. Before you scroll past this, let me ask you something.
When you write `x = 10` in Python, what do you think happens?
If your answer is "Python puts the number 10 inside a box called x," you are wrong. And honestly? That wrong mental model is the reason behind 90% of the confusing bugs beginn...
