oysterfish | 7 years ago | on: Ask HN: How to Teach Coding?
1/ there's such an astronomical disparity between students 2/ where it's more of a requirement to be an autodidact.
All the good devs i know just pick up books and start reading. If you look professional devs out there, if they all taught themselves how to code, then one must wonder whether you can even produce a good coder by teaching them directly.
Instead, pointing them in the right direction on their learning path at the right time is probably going to be hugely beneficial.
I know for myself i wish i'd spent more time learning than building things. It's been useful too building, however my ratio was off by quite a bit.

Will that drag the _whole thing_ down with it? Most likely not. It's like saying Groupon were every to sink as a company, all coupons everywhere would vanish & lose all their value, and people would lose their money.
A business managed poorly is not a reflection of the quality of the raw materials they were intending to work with, or of the rest of the industry for that matter.

Oh and this comes along with a modern website that can execute all those use cases too.
But then you throw in the natural language, enabling users to write complex queries in English. That and great funded teams focussing on niches.
My experiences with bots are becoming outstandingly good.
