Hold on. Does it still make sense to become a programmer in 2026?

  • “AI will do everything anyway. What's the point of learning?”
  • “It's too late. The market closed for juniors.”
  • “I'm too old. I don't have a degree. I'm not good at math.”

And you put it off. A month. Then another. Then a year.

Let me tell you what's actually happening in the market right now. A programmer who knows how to use AI now does the work of five who don't. Five. Not two. Not three. Five.

And it's not a prediction. It's already happening. In London. In Berlin. In Bucharest.

It doesn't mean the jobs disappeared. It means the market split in two: programmers who use AI as a tool, in real demand. And programmers who don't, passed over.

This workshop is your training, in miniature, to be in the first group. 60 minutes. 97 RON. And you answer for yourself the question that's kept you stuck for months.

AI doesn't replace programmers. It replaces programmers who don't use AI.

What happens in 60 minutes

05 steps
  1. 01

    You open Google Colab right in your browser

    No install. No software. No new account. It works instantly, from any laptop or PC.

  2. 02

    You write your first lines of code

    You don't copy. You don't follow. You write. With clear explanations for each line. You understand every line before moving on.

  3. 03

    You see your code talk to a real AI

    Concrete. Visible. On your screen. Not theory. Not definitions. The model answers questions you wrote, in real time.

  4. 04

    You modify the code and make it yours

    Change what you want. Break it. Fix it. See how the AI reacts when you talk to it differently. You start to understand how it thinks.

  5. 05

    You hit Run on your own AI program

    Your program starts. For the first time in your life, code written by your own hand is talking to a real AI model.

That moment changes something. You're not someone who “thinks about programming” anymore. You've already built an AI program. With your own hands. On your own screen.

What you'll learn

05 outcomes
  • What a real API call looks like
  • What a prompt is and how to write one
  • Differences between models
  • What you can do in 60 minutes
  • How to continue if you like it
Portrait of Victor Marcu

Who built this workshop

I'm Victor Marcu. I'm a programmer.

I learned to code while working full-time. No CS degree. No technical background. Just a laptop and a decision.

I failed my first interviews. I went back. I studied. I tried again. Until I got the offer from Expedia London. From Romania. With no degree.

In those years I tried dozens of methods. Courses. Books. Tutorials. Bootcamps. I nearly quit. More than once.

Then AI showed up. With a personal tutor available around the clock, I started learning ten times faster. Things I'd been stuck on for years started clicking in weeks.

If AI had been available to me five years ago, it would have taken me six months to get where it took me three years.

That's how the VM.Codes method was born. This workshop is your first meeting with it.

I won't promise you'll become a programmer in 60 minutes. I'll promise you'll know, concretely, from your own experience, whether this path is worth continuing. And that you'll have your first hour as an AI programmer.

Who this workshop is for

For you if

  • You have a job that's stopped growing and you've thought about IT for months, but don't know where to start
  • You've watched dozens of YouTube tutorials and quit. Without understanding why
  • The idea that AI will replace programmers scares you, and you don't know if learning still makes sense
  • You want a first real experience with code, not another course of someone talking on screen
  • You want to find out if your mind is built for programming before sinking thousands of euros into a long course

Not for you if

  • You already know how to program, even at a basic level
  • You want a full course that takes you all the way to a job. That's IT Job Sprint

In their own words

How it was for them

Bought it late one evening, no big expectations. Within the first 10 minutes I noticed it isn't like other online courses where you watch someone talk, here you actually have to do something yourself. I was kind of surprised I finished without stopping.

Tried it out of curiosity, mostly to see how it works. I liked that I didn't have to sign up for accounts anywhere, it was all ready to go. The assistant at the end responds about how you'd expect.

A friend from uni kept telling me I had to try it. Sat down at my laptop one evening, finished in about an hour. I'm not saying I'll get into coding seriously, but I don't have the 'I haven't even tried' excuse anymore.

Before you say it's not for you

  • “AI is going to replace programmers anyway. What's the point of learning now?”

    Exactly the opposite. AI replaces programmers who don't know how to use it. The ones coming in now with AI skill are in higher demand than ever. This workshop is your first real interaction with the tool, in a controlled, guided setting, with nothing on the line but 97 RON.

  • “I'm 35-40. Isn't it too late?”

    The best juniors we see in the market right now aren't the 22-year-olds. They're the 30-40-year-olds, with maturity, discipline and a clear reason to get into IT. AI leveled the field. Age became an advantage, not a handicap.

  • “I have no technical experience.”

    It was built exactly for you. We assume nothing. We start from zero and explain every line before we write it.

  • “I'm not good at math.”

    Programming isn't math. It's logic. If you can follow a recipe step by step, you have everything you need to finish this workshop.

  • “I've tried to learn programming before and gave up.”

    You weren't the problem. The method was. Watching someone else write code doesn't teach you to write code. The same way watching someone swim doesn't make you a swimmer. Here, you write. You do. From minute one.

  • “I don't know if I have time.”

    60 minutes. That's it. In an evening. On your lunch break. On a weekend. Access is instant after payment, whenever you're ready.

  • “Do I need a GPT account or to pay for AI?”

    No. You get access to our proxy, included in the price. You don't need any external account. Everything works from second one.

You've lost whole months putting it off. And now AI is threatening to close the window even for those who were just about to step in.

This workshop is the only 60 minutes that pull you out of the bleachers and into the game. 97 RON. The price of dinner out.

Right now you can't write a single line of code. An hour from now, your first AI program is running on your screen.

And you'll know, concretely, whether AI programming is your path. Or not. Not after months of tutorials. Not after thousands of euros in a bootcamp. After 60 minutes in which you actually touched code.

That's the real value of this workshop. Clarity. Concreteness. The decision made.

FAQ

09
I have zero experience. Is that ok?
Yes. That's the assumed starting point. There's no "too beginner" for this workshop.
Do I need to install anything?
Nothing. It all runs in Google Colab, in the browser. Any laptop works.
How long does it actually take?
60 to 90 minutes, depending on your pace. Take breaks whenever. Your access is permanent.
Do I use my own Anthropic key?
No. You get an access key to our proxy, included in the workshop price. You don't need any external account, and you pay nothing extra.
What if I don't like it?
You write an email. We refund you. No questions, no bureaucracy.
Do I get a certificate?
No. This workshop isn't about paper. It's about doing something real with your own hands. If you want internationally recognized cloud certifications, those come in IT Job Sprint.
What if I want to go further after the workshop?
You have access to the Discord community where you'll find people at the same point as you. And if you want to make programming a career, IT Job Sprint is the full 12-week program, from zero to first job.
Why is it so cheap?
Because it isn't our main product. It's the front door to the VM.Codes world. We want to prove the method to you at the lowest possible risk.
Is it the same method as IT Job Sprint?
Yes. The workshop uses the exact same philosophy: AI as a tutor that accelerates you. The difference is distance. The workshop takes you 60 minutes down the road. IT Job Sprint takes you 12 weeks, all the way to your first job.
