The Passionate Programmer

Welcome to The Passionate Programmer.

Here, we explore how to collaborate with AI as a thinking partner—not just to write better code, but to become better thinkers, creators, and leaders.

I’m David Scott Bernstein—author, developer, and teacher—and I’ve spent my life studying how we think, model, and design. On this channel, I’ll show you how prompting can clarify your thoughts, spark new ideas, and open deeper conversations—with AI and with yourself.

If you are a developer, leader, or lifelong learner, you’ll discover practical techniques, powerful patterns, and profound insights into how humans and AI can grow together.

Subscribe and join the journey. Let’s co-create something extraordinary.
