Our AI Coding w/ OpenCode course is our most-taken course in the first 7 days of availability (measured in terms of individual lesson completions).
Let's go!!!!
old ballet photo…kinda forgot how every backstage moment was spent cramming CS homework
at least C++ doesn’t yell at you in russian when you mess up (probably)
We held out as long as we could.
In all seriousness, we've been writing AI-assisted code at Boot .dev for quite awhile. It took time for the models and tooling to get good enough for real best practices to emerge, and (candidly) for us to get good enough at it to have something worth teaching.
Now we do.
95 interactive lessons. You'll build a real interpreter with OpenCode v2. It covers all the important features of modern agents, plus the hard-won tips we've learned through every day usage.. and a few guest-takes from @thdxr on the OpenCode team.
Enjoy.
While I spend most of every day working with LLMs and have managed to adapt to it so far, I would turn back the clock on this technology if it were within my power. I just see huge and diverse negative effects, while the positives are fewer, smaller, surprisingly incremental.
Our AI Coding Course with OpenCode Launches on Monday!!! We've been waiting over a year to release this bad boi, as we've wanted to make sure we actually understand the tools well enough to teach them.
The last thing we ever wanted was to ship a course that instantly become obsolete, or to teach usage patterns that aren't actually good long-term.
The course purposefully comes at the END of our programming curriculum, because to use these power tools effectively, you still have to KNOW HOW to code by hand - even if you'll hardly ever hand-code in practice. And we don't ship slop here, ever.
Wondering how to signal to users that your app isn't a vibe-coded piece of slop?
