>Software people are such a "DIY" crowd, that I think selling courses to us (or selling courses to our employers) is a crappy prospect. The hacker ethos is to build it yourself, so paying for courses seems like a poor mismatch.

I think courses like these are peak "DIY". These aren't courses teaching you to RTFM. It's teaching you how to think deeper and find the edge cases and develop philosophy. That's knowledge worth its weight in gold. Unlike React tutorial #32456 this is showing us how things really work "under the hood".

I'd happily pay for that. If I could.

>don't sell to musicians. They don't have any money

But programmers traditionally do have money?

>if you're against AI, you might have missed how good of a learning tool LLMs can be.

I don't think someone putting their business on the line with their stance needs yet another HN squeed on why AI actually good. Pretty sure they've thought deeply of this.
