Hi Scrimba Team and Fellow Learners,
As an active subscriber and enthusiastic learner, I want to raise a timely and important suggestion: Scrimba should consider creating a dedicated course for the new wave of developers using agentic AI tools such as Cursor, Windsurf, PS4, and Claude.
We’re entering a new era of software development—in which developers no longer write code line-by-line, but instead orchestrate it using intelligent agents. This has dramatically lowered the barrier to entry, enabling people like myself, what you might call “Technical vibe coders” or hybrid developers who do not intend to write every single line of code on their own, to build production-grade applications using tools like:
- Cursor (IDE-integrated coding agent)
- Windsurf (Agentic Coding IDE Fork)
- Codex by OpenAI ( Autonomous coding Agent by OpenAI)
The reality is: prompt-driven coding is not a niche—it’s rapidly becoming the norm, particularly among startups and solo builders. Yet, despite this shift, there are very few learning resources structured around how to think, prompt, debug, and deploy as a hybrid AI-assisted developer.
Why a Scrimba Course on AI-Hybrid Coding Makes Sense
- You’re already a pioneer in interactive learning. A course focused on prompting, interpreting agent output, and debugging could be immensely impactful.
- Your platform fits the medium. Scrimba’s interactive screen format is ideal for teaching AI workflows: e.g. watching someone use Cursor to prompt out a component and then modify it live.
- There’s already demand. A quick browse through the AI category shows many learners are curious about ChatGPT workflows. But ChatGPT is quickly being surpassed by these new dev-native agents.
Course Content Suggestions
A modern “Build With AI” track could teach:
- How to structure your repo and prompt AI agents to scaffold full-stack apps
- How to debug hallucinated code or miswired API logic
- How to think like a systems orchestrator instead of a syntax writer
- How to integrate tools like Framer (for design) and Vercel, Clerk, Supabase, Drizzle, Upstash etc. for a smooth no-glue-code workflow
- When you must understand core JS/TS concepts—and when you can delegate
My Ask
Would the Scrimba team be open to:
- Exploring the creation of such a course?
Thanks for building such an empowering learning ecosystem. With a course like this, Scrimba could again be at the forefront—but this time, leading the AI-native generation of developers.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and those from others in the community.
Warm regards,
Ali
