Most Technical Training Doesn't Work, Because People Forget What They Don't Practice
Organizations invest heavily in training but struggle to measure whether engineers retained the skills weeks later. The formats available today each fall short.
Why current formats fail:
- Video courses teach theory but not muscle memory: students watch someone else code, then struggle to replicate it
- Documentation and tutorials assume a working local environment; students burn hours fighting setup before writing a line of relevant code, and many give up
- Instructor-led training is the most effective format but is held back by tooling: instructors can't see what students are doing, draw on a shared screen, or ensure everyone is on the same step
