"No code" still means reading
You won't write JavaScript, but you'll read error messages aloud to the agent and answer its questions. Treat it like directing a contractor: you don't swing the hammer, but you must know what "done" looks like and say so precisely.
The loop is the skill
Describe → run → look → describe what's wrong → run again. People who ship in 80 minutes aren't better prompters; they iterate in small steps and test after every change instead of requesting ten features at once.
Deployment stopped being scary
Static hosts (GitHub Pages, Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages) serve a single-file tool free in minutes — the agent can walk you through every click, or generate the config itself. A custom domain costs ~$10/year and is genuinely optional.
Where paid trainings fit
Everything above is learnable free from official docs. A good course compresses time and curates the path; a bad one sells recycled prompts. Test before paying: try the 5 layers solo first — then you'll know exactly which layer you'd pay for help with.
