Who teaches the developers when the educators stop?

I’ve spent the last few years teaching developers through conferences, content, sample apps, and mentorship. In the past year I’ve watched educators pivot away, quit making content entirely, or get drowned out by AI-generated noise. The people shouting “it’s all over” are loud, but they’re not helping the junior developer trying to learn some bright and shiny new technology at 11pm. But this isn’t just about who’s making the content. It’s also about who’s consuming it and how. Learning itself has changed. Developers are drowning in material they can’t trust, skipping fundamentals because an AI gave them the answer, and losing the muscle memory that comes from actually struggling through a problem. Come see what it looks like from the inside: what’s actually working in developer education right now, what’s broken on both sides of it, and what I think we owe each other. The mistakes I’ve made, the formats that still land, and why the human part of this whole thing isn’t going anywhere. You’ll leave feeling like the work still matters, because it does.
