I worked at Codecademy - you're right the getting stuck part hurts people moving forward, we spent a lot of time trying to help people without outright spitting it out - it was less about runtime errors and more about the concept. I'm not sure that an AI spitting out an answer is the right solution to help people learn - we also thought about different forms (projects, embeds in articles, tutors, etc)

Another Codecademy alumn is building a different learn to code platform - he wrote many courses and was always interested in teaching and providing resources.

All in all, they problems were learning and education problems rather than technical.

Thanks Deltacoast, that's an interesting insight. I agree that being given the answer is the wrong approach, and the AI needs to be fine-tuned to not do that, similar to KhanAcademy's Khanmigo bot.

I do think having a knowledgeable assistant can be helpful though. I've watched some users literally get unstuck with the AI, and it's amazing.

Great work on Codecademy by the way, I'm (obviously) a big fan.

The site doesn't work for me in Safari. Tried 01. Setting Up and clicking run doesn't do anything but shake the Terminal box. Even if I put in garbage it does nothing.
