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.

Me with an afternoon of zero meetings and 6 OpenCode agents running in parallel

This was, in fact, a real review

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? Write an entire fantasy novel of the course of several years about your mascot and his adventures Chapter 15 just dropped today

AI won't take you're job. Someone who won't shut the fuck up about AI will make you want to quit your job.

Pewdiepie is SO BACK. Building and learning real stuff, even after all the success he's had. He's an inspiration to the youths. we need to protect him. I'm so proud he lets us continue to sponsor him.

we believe in depth

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

Boot dev student (who is now a CTO) just hired another Boot dev student. Best day ever.

it's finally here.

I've already pushed to production 5 times this morning and I'm just getting started. take this bad advice out of slop-torvalds mouth

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.

Which are we getting first at this point?

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
