What you'll learn in this Python course
Write a toy agentic code editor in Python, similar to Claude Code or Cursor's Agent Mode. Understand how agents work from scratch by using free models on OpenRouter (via the OpenAI SDK) to create an LLM-powered code agent. You'll use function calling and feedback loops to build an agent that can find and fix bugs in a real project!

I find the idea of making an AI agent very cool. However to me, as someone who only knows programming stuff from this website, I feel like I did not really learn much here since 80% of what I did was copy something from the instructions. And a lot of stuff I had to do was with functions / methods that I haven't learned yet from any previous courses. This made it a bit frustrating but overall I still found it interesting.

The course was very good and hard at times what I think I am missing is a better understanding on how to actually progress if you want to focus more on LLMs, but I imagine this is not the scope of bootdev

really makes you appreciate the production quality agents that exist. trying to debug the code while also trying to debug the model's choices was pretty funny.
