Thinking of "AI Enablement" course for developers – would this be useful?

1•stecu•3h ago
I work as a developer in a large corporation where there’s a lot of talk about AI right now. I see three kinds of colleagues around me:

- Some use AI daily and are excited about what it enables.

- Some stick to the “old way” of doing things and avoid AI tools.

- Some are honestly worried – they see themselves as “code-writing machines,” and if AI can write code, they fear their jobs are at risk.

I don’t think developers should see AI as a threat. I want to help reframe this mindset by showing quick wins—how AI can make their work faster, less repetitive, and more impactful.

I’m considering building a short AI Enablement course for developers that’s not about ML theory or training models, but rather about practical skills like:

- Using AI to debug and refactor code - Automating repetitive tasks - Adapting workflows to leverage AI instead of fighting it

Before I invest time into building this, I’d love your honest thoughts:

- Would this kind of course be valuable for developers? - What topics would you want covered (or not covered)? - Do you think framing it around mindset shift + quick wins is the right approach?

Appreciate any feedback
