Origin
- Matt Pocock has been teaching for 10 years: 6 years as a voice coach, 4 years teaching developers (
0:00). - The long-standing idea: encode everything he knows about teaching into a skill, so anyone could learn anything with it (
0:00). - The skill was written in a single sitting — during a bus ride to London — and turned out to work well (
0:00).
The proof case: the Rubik's Cube
- The first thing the skill taught him was how to solve a Rubik's Cube — something he'd always wanted to learn but never had the time or inclination for (
0:20). - What made it work, in his words: it felt like a real teacher who
- taught the way he likes to be taught, and
- was totally aligned with his mission (
0:20).
The Rubik's Cube run is the running example throughout the whole video — every workspace file shown belongs to that session.
