“There is a pessimistic version of this where AI replaces the teacher because the model can generate endless explanations and code. I do not buy that version, because the parts of technical education I value most were never the typing. They were the decisions behind the typing.A good educator has already made the mistake I am about to make. They have already tried the abstraction that looked clean and became annoying six months later, figured out which framework convention is worth following and which one stops helping in this particular case, and seen which production failure should change the design instead of becoming one more rescue block.The job starts looking less like “record every keystroke” and more like encoding judgment well enough that both the developer and the coding agent can use it.“But I still read tutorials”So do I. I still read articles to understand concepts, look up APIs, and buy books from people whose thinking I want more of.What I am much less willing to do is spend hours manually reproducing an implementation in a disposable sample app before I can apply the idea to my own code.That is what I mean by dead here: the tutorial is not gone, but it is not the whole workflow anymore.”robrace.dev/blog/programming-t#TechnicalWriting #TechnicalCommunication #AI #AIAgents #AgenticAI #Programming #LLMs #SoftwareDevelopment #SoftwareDocumentation
