  • Where This Starts: AI, Teaching, and Master Programmers

    Where This Starts: AI, Teaching, and Master Programmers
    Apr 9 2026

    This is where the journey starts.

    We’re at one of those rare moments in computing where everything is shifting. AI isn’t just changing how we write code—it’s changing how we learn, how we teach, and what it means to become a truly great programmer.

    In this first episode, I introduce who I am, how I’ve spent the last couple of decades teaching programming, and why this moment feels different from anything I’ve seen before. Programming used to mean writing code line by line. Now we’re collaborating with systems that can generate, explain, and even challenge our thinking—and that changes the job.

    I’ve always cared about helping people develop “x-ray vision” for computing—understanding what’s really going on under the hood. Now I’m asking how that idea fits in a world where AI can do more and more of the mechanical work. What should we still struggle with? What should we delegate? And how do we keep the joy of learning while becoming more efficient?

    This podcast is where I work through those questions. I’ll share what I’m learning every week or so—what works, what doesn’t, and what surprises me along the way
