<h3>Why I enrolled</h3>
<ol class="list-decimal ml-8"><li><p class="p2-tall">Learn the fundamentals of building and using AI Agents</p></li><li><p class="p2-tall">Get experience with the tools (n8n, Lovable, Python (lite)</p></li><li><p class="p2-tall">Come out of the course with the confidence to vibe-code products, be thoughtful with design and strategic implementation of Agentic AI, and have the ability to create Agents for my company using the tools and strategies learned in this course.</p></li></ol>
<p></p>

    <h3>A breakthrough moment</h3><p class="p2-tall">The course has been really insightful so far, especially someone like me who is a Product lead, but does not have any coding background.  Both the higher level concepts (making complex things simple) and the hands-on doing have been instrumental in making me feel more comfortable designing and building with tools I only had a cursory understanding of before.<br><br>Some "aha" moments for me so far have been:</p><ol class="list-decimal ml-8"><li><p class="p2-tall">How writing good, contextual prompts can make all the difference with Lovable.  The practice we've had so far has really helped me develop good habits when writing prompts for creation of my designs.</p></li><li><p class="p2-tall">Backend no-coding (n8n) is not as scary as I thought it was.  Once I got hands one experience with some of the different lessons, I was almost surprised how easy it was to swap out a node, modfy settings, change out workflows, etc.  (caveat below).  But this has given me confidence working in n8n to realize I can really create some interesting setups w/o working about breaking things.</p></li><li><p class="p2-tall">Troubleshooting:  A necessary evil, but the more you do it the easier it gets knowing where to look.  I had to use ChatGPT a couple times to help me resolve errors, but eventually I solved everything to work.  I'm really proud of that as it further gives me confidence to build Agents and workflows knowing a little bit of patience (and reverse engineering :-) ) can get you through most problems.</p></li></ol>

<p></p>
<h3>What I’ll apply</h3>
<ol class="list-decimal ml-8"><li><p class="p2-tall">Using Lovable to rapidly iterate on my designs, fail fast &amp; win fast.</p></li><li><p class="p2-tall">Leverage what we learned about system prompts vs user-prompts and apply them thoughtfully to the products and solutions I will build in the future.</p></li><li><p class="p2-tall">Claude Code!  Now that I have it installed, it really is a super-power.  I'm certainly going to leverage it in the future in rapid prototyping and to better liaise with my development teams.</p></li></ol>
