How they build
- Let learners struggle with a concrete problem before showing the solution.
- Faster code generation makes good software design more valuable, not less.
- Build in thin vertical slices with tight feedback loops like types, tests and reviews.
- Prefer deep modules with simple interfaces so both humans and agents can reason about the code.
- Give away high-quality free material and sell the deeper training.
- Learn by building real projects with AI rather than reading about it.
- Open-source your tools and templates to build trust and reach.
- Treat coding agents as general-purpose agents, not just autocomplete.
- Anyone can learn to build software now, with no prior experience.
