100 Days is Too Long

100 Days of Code became famous for getting people up to speed with Python in just 100 days, and we applaud that.

With the emergence of AI tools to help people create software code, writing software can be accelerated by 2X, 3X, maybe even 5X. Even after working around the AI hallucinations (which are rapidly decreasing), using those tools to help us write code is truly a game-changer.

It follows, then, that getting up to speed on creating AI applications (meaning: software that uses AI tools) shouldn’t take us the same 100 days that it used to take just to learn a single programming language and toolset.

Should that be twice as fast? 3 times as fast?

To avoid spending cycles debating that, we settled on 2.3809523800952381 as fast, or 100/2.3809523800952381 = 42 days.
