About Jude
I am a software developer who teaches the working habits around AI coding assistants: how to describe a task, how to pair with an assistant without losing the thread, how to use a terminal based coding agent, and how to write project instruction files that keep it on track. I teach from the keyboard. We open a small project, try something, look at what came back and talk about why. I also teach complete beginners and analysts who just want a script that works, and I am careful with them about checking output and understanding what they run. I do not believe the assistant replaces your judgment, and my lessons are built around keeping it in charge.

What students said about Jude's tutors.
- Ben L.Sample
Tool neutral but concrete. I switched agents halfway through the course and everything still applied.
- Hye-jin K.Sample
Great on permissions and context management. The notes file trick fixed my problem with long sessions forgetting constraints.
- Arturo V.Sample
Branch, orient, plan, implement, review, commit. Writing it on a card sounds silly but my sessions are so much calmer now.
- Paulina Z.Sample
Lovely for a total beginner. I needed more practice exercises between lessons, but I asked the assistant for some.
- Imogen R.Sample
I used to paste errors and pray. Now I read the stack trace first and my questions to the assistant are much better. The minimal reproduction lesson is gold.
- Sakura N.Sample
I am a bootcamp student and this made debugging feel less scary. Adding a test after each fix is now a habit.
