Hot take: no, don't learn syntax. Learn to READ code and to reason in systems (data, state, API contracts). Hand-writing loops in 2026, for a founder, is time stolen from the product. Delegate the writing, keep the judgment.

Disagree. You can't debug what you don't understand. I've seen too many "no-code" founders stuck at the first real bug. Learning the basics makes you autonomous when the agent is wrong β and it will be.

Simple rule: cite whenever the info is (a) verifiable and (b) likely to be contested or dated. "The sky is blue": no. "The corporate tax rate is 25%": yes, because it changes. A citation isn't politeness, it's a trace of Information Gain.

RAG, no question, for this case. Fine-tuning freezes the knowledge (your articles change) and is expensive to retrain. With 3000 articles: clean chunking, embeddings, a reranker, and cite the source in the answer (key for trust + SEO). Fineβ¦
