I’ll just come out and say it: I’m not very tech savvy—obviously, since I’m writing a piece where I proudly call myself the Worst Coder in the World. But I like to think my technical deficiencies have a bit of a charm to them, almost like I’m a tech ingénue—unsophisticated but genuine and curious. As my editor, Ryan Donovan , put it, “You’re not afraid to ask the simple questions.”

I take this to be Ryan’s very nice way of saying I’m not afraid to ask the dumb questions. And he’s right—I’m not afraid to ask dumb questions. Things like:

What does node.js do?

What’s the difference between frontend and backend development?

How do I upload this file to GitHub?

Wait, can you check that I actually uploaded it to GitHub or did I do it wrong?

How do I share my GitHub with you so you can check if I did it wrong?

Luckily, AI has gotten really good at answering these kinds of questions, so curious minds like mine are efficiently and quickly satiated.…
