Most resonant quote from the article: "For more senior roles, look for dynamic range in their confidence levels." Great mental model of the types of senior people I've enjoyed working with.

I've found it's always more worthwhile to debate and work with people who have to consistently match their predictions against reality. In my life, that's been engineers that ship and money managers who tracked against a benchmark. Everyone else I'm happy to let them have the comforts of their opinions.

I am the author of the tutorial. I created a tool that captures keystrokes and file operations in a popular editor and allows them to be played back in a browser. The author can then add a narrative as the code evolves with text, pictures, and videos.

I have more 'books' on C++, python, SQL, web dev, dart/flutter, clojure, ruby, and more:

I use these for the programming-focused cs courses that I teach instead of having the students buy bloated textbooks. The students prefer them to books (no surprise) and videos (somewhat surprising). The code is searchable and copy/pasteable so the students actually use it.

The tool is free and open.

This is such a cool tool - I worked in coding education and always loved tools that let you playback/annotate code.

Thanks for posting!

I seriously considered App Maker to build some internal code flows but could not develop the trust needed to deploy into production. With SaaS apps that require serious onboarding and deployment it's become almost impossible to trust Google in particular on this issue.

I'm hoping SMBs will start to seriously consider business continuity as a key feature of SaaS. If I wanted to differentiate as a SaaS product today, I'd consider offering putting at minimum source code into escrow upon sale/bankruptcy.

Surprising this left out the dominance of Salesforce for business process and general CRUD type apps.
