I haven't independently verified all the claims in the article, but as a codex, Claude, and opencode user, opencode is easily my favorite harness. From a user perspective it's a dream

I'm the founder of Boot.dev and I was doing my regular "what's going on in my industry" research - searching through Google trends, and was baffled by this. I'm not sure what on earth is driving the sudden spike in

Yeah I think there's some nuance. As a relatively experienced dev I still use autocomplete when using a new language, but I think it's different when you already have a strong grasp of coding fundamentals. Learning your 3rd or fou

I think they may be referring to token usage, which is mentioned in the article. fewer tokens = higher performance

one thing to keep in mind is the video you linked is the _walkthrough_ of the course, the actual course itself is probably what you're looking for, because it moves at a much more reasonable pace

I've had the chance to interact with both Preston and Clyde (Preston helped Clyde get going in code as well) - Clyde actually completed like all the backend courses on boot dev and is doing great at unlocked labs. anyhow, thanks for al

I've published a lot of interactive programming courses on Boot.dev over the last few years, but the issue that's been plaguing the platform is how quickly it moves through material. Like we give people challenges for each new con

Just finished porting Boot.dev's backend learning path to TypeScript (used to only be available in Python/Go, now also Python/TS) Official release is Cinco de Mayo, I'm very excited! https://www.boot.dev

Lane here, I wa so excited that I got to record with Ben, his and Shiva's 2020ish videos hit me soooo hard when they dropped. I think Krazam is pretty popular around here so figured I'd share.

Hmmm... only the things that are really in our control. For example, I think adding time-on-lesson as another metric for the difficulty calculation will make certain courses and projects jump up quite a bit. I also think that prompt version

I was expecting <2% - I'll be interested to see if this goes up or down over time... I imagine it's fairly dependent on whether the platform sees growth with more experienced vs less experienced devs
