The real reason for Boot dev's existence was to build the platform that would train more new backend developers than anywhere else
...and then to make 10000% sure it didn't teach Java

The biggest misconception about Bootdev is that people take our courses to learn new things, improve their lives, and get into better careers
We've always been very clear on this: it's actually about the digital confetti, loot boxes, and leaderboard stats

I have INSANE respect for creators that only work with brands they actually believe in. It's a very rare trait. When the offers get big, most people will just say what they're told to say.
And look, in most cases I'm not even judging the people "getting their bag", just saying that the real ones are real ones.

Sometimes I feel like I only share my more luddite-style opinions, but I really am quite the techno-optimist
I look forward to the day that I can go on a walk with airpods in and just yap at my agent while looking at diffs with AR glasses
would be sick

It might not be obvious based on a lot of my recent tweets, but we use AI to write a lot of code at Bootdev (but not course content, and we do read every line of code)
But yeah, most of the platform's code is at some point coming out of an agent.
That said, we recently had to ban using agents to write issues. Sure, we use agents to pull context, do research, etc. But it's just SO GODDAMN ANNOYING when you are trying to read and interpret a spec that someone else couldn't even be bothered to take the time to write.
For code, at the line level, agents write very reasonably. And when you know enough to critique their work, you can get it exactly how you want it.
For prose, at the line level, AI is absolute dogwater, and no amount of prompting can fix it with the current models. And at this point, if you disagree, I believe you're just a bad writer.
