Part 4: Code Literacy
Understanding code without becoming a programmer.
You don't need to become a programmer. But some basic code literacy makes everything easier.
These five chapters give you just enough understanding to:
- Read code without panicking
- Recognize common patterns
- Understand what AI gives you
- Verify that code does what you expect
Think of it like learning to read a foreign language well enough to navigate, even if you can't write poetry in it.
