the first edition of mega.dev launched today.
over the past few weeks, we've been working super hard on something we believe will help others understand generative ai: what it can do, what it can't, and how to use it to deliver solid engineering and high-quality products.
my job here was to shape the curriculum, deliver the core content of the lessons, and work with the team on materials that make the most of their experience and perspective on ai.
my personal dream here is not only to show the principles, mechanics, tooling, workflows, and way of thinking, but to do it in a way that helps people rediscover joy and feel satisfaction and purpose in their work.
2,900 ppl on board.
today is the last chance to join us.
it's time.

I found my MEGA pattern: The Worktree Gate.
I must say MEGA.DEV seems a different course from whatever I had to this day.
Maybe it is a future of the courses...
Congrats the team of @megadevhq and @_overment !
I feels like something new, really.

Education has changed forever. Obviously, when you can just talk to an agent and ask it any question you have, and it can answer you with all of the context of your project or anything else, you'll just go to the agent instead of buying a course. This is why my course sales have tanked this year.
No, I'm not mad. It's fine. I'm just trying to figure out the best way I can still provide value to the world and take care of my family. I'm not writing this to make you feel bad about me. I'm just telling you that education is different.
That leads to the question: Are we post-education now?
Do you need to be educated, or can you just talk to the agent anytime you run into any problem? I think that we are not post-education. I think that there will always be things that humans want to and need to learn to get more satisfaction out of life, do more things that they want to do, and maximize their efficiency and productivity in creating value in the world.
The trick is: what do you learn that's actually durable and valuable? That's a big question, and that's part of what I'm going to be teaching during my week of MEGA.dev. Education has changed in a hugely positive way. Education now has the ability to leverage agents to teach you in your context and on your level.
Yes, learners have access to agents to help them, but the teachers have access to agents as well. What I'm seeing from the MEGA.dev team and all the things that they're doing is blowing my mind. You've got four instructors who really know their stuff and have knowledge in their brains that they need to get across to each one of the thousands of people who are already signed up to attend MEGA.dev.
Each one of those people has a different context, different things that matter to them, and different levels of experience. This has always been a problem with instruction: finding a way for the material to be equally applicable regardless of people's level of expertise, and that is extremely difficult 💀. I used to do that with extra credit so that people who get through things faster than others will have something to do rather than twiddle their thumbs 😬
Now we have agents, and your agents have a deep understanding of you, your preferences, your projects, and the way that you have used agents in the past. When we're teaching you about how to improve your efficiency at using agents, we're going to use your agent to help us teach you how you can improve specifically.
Yes, there will be videos from your instructors and written material, but there will also be material for your agent to take you through the story that the MEGA.dev team has created for you. It will give you challenges that are specific to the way that you work with agents today to get you leveled up.
Everyone's experience going through MEGA.dev will be perfectly catered to them, and that's how MEGA.dev is different.
If you're still not convinced, you should at least come to our kickoff on Monday to see what we have to show you. I've got something I'm excited to share, for sure. The doors close for this cohort that evening, so make sure to have your boss on speed dial.

I've been on the road since August, and just came home to record my MEGA Dev course on Building Agents.
I'm so excited about this new course! This is not one of those show-offy courses about making little personal agents for yourself. You don't necessarily need a course for that.
But as software engineers, the time is coming very soon when you'll be expected to create agents for your company or build agentic capabilities into customer-facing applications.
I don't see enough developers focused on learning those skills. If you've been preoccupied with mastering using agents, I invite you to take my course, where I'll help you level up to actually building agents (and no, it's not a flight booking agent lmao)
We're diving into context and memory, tool design, task-based model routing (to LLMs and decision models), making your agent a specialist with skills, discovering and delegating to other specialized agents, building in guardrails, designing evals, etc.
All of this as the builder of the agent, not the user of the agent.
And this is just ONE section of the entire course! Theo, Kent C. Dodds and John Lindquist are adding more breadth and depth with their sections - all for one price.
Join now, and bring your team! mega.dev/s/angie
