Anyone here tried teaching people to program on scale?
Hi, IH!
I'm contemplating some ideas on how to make the process of learning programming more engaging. I'm wondering if a lot of people here have already tried doing something in this area.
Producing educational content, running competitions, building marketplaces, etc. What was your experience and what are the most obvious pitfalls in this space? Let's collect them all in this thread, it should be useful ;)

I’m working on something similar right now. Haven’t launched yet though.
My idea is aimed at mastery of python fundamentals through spaced repetition.
Not sure how hard it’ll be to actually get people to pay for it but so far I’ve started by building an audience and writing about deliberate practice, programmer productivity, and python
Wonderful! Is it going to be a "Fitbit for python" sort of thing? I.e. you solve small tasks periodically, get points, feel satisfaction, repeat.
Anyway, keep it up! I'm very curious to hear what the first results will be
Yeah, something like that! Everyday you'll get a set of problems to practice based on your past performance :)
