The New Year is a good time for a challenge, I'm always trying to learn new things, improve and try to become the better version of myself, but sometimes it's good to speed up the self evolution to make it faster.

What is the Agentic Engineer Challenge

I call this challenge Agentic Engineer or Agentic Coder, the goal is to become an agentic programmer who knows how to create AI agents, who has experience with different agentic frameworks. Why not call it AI Coder? Because AI has become such a broad discipline that you need to choose the right path to stay current, and my goal is to build real AI agents and have a one-man agency with many agents.

Agentic Coder is also a modern coder who know AI, data science and machine learning, he also care about health, he sleeps enough, exercises and try to keep his mental as well as physical condition on the highest level.

Foundation to become an Agent Master

I recently bought the course Principled of AI Coding which is available under Agentic Engineer domain, and what is my inspiration to become one, to become coder of the future.

The second thing is data science and Python skills. For this material I have another course that I have already started.

To be a modern programmer you need to work with AI tools to get superhuman coding. I tried different AI App Builder like Codev, BoldNew and Lovable App, but here I don't have enough control and I have no idea what's happening there, of course I can read the code later, but somehow I'm too less involved in the development. Another thing is Coursor and another thing I will learn is Aider. I don't have enough experience to write about these tools yet, so I'll leave it for later.

There is one more thing I need to do to be productive enough to achieve my goals. Since I don't want to spend money for chatgpt plus or clause paid version, I will build my own AI assistant chat to manage many things with one AI chat. I also have course for that and that will be the priority in the next days or weeks.

Tasks for the next 100 days

I will start with healthy lifestyle, exercise and enough sleep. Later I will go to build my AI assistant and then to PAIC (Principled AI Coding) course and then to Data Science.

So starting tomorrow:
1. Exercise: pushups (I wonder if I can do 10 pushups :)
2. 7 hours of sleep
3. AI Assistant: 2 hours
4. PAIC: 1 hour
5. Data Science: 1 hour

Wish me luck, I will try to document my journey every day.
