What this episode covers

Ryan Carson taught over 1,000,000 people how to code at Treehouse and spent 25% of his entire life doing it. Now he says everything about that process needs to change.In this livestream, Ryan joins Corey Noles and Grant Harvey to rethink programming education from scratch. When AI agents can write production code, pass competitive coding challenges, and ship features while you sleep.We'll cover:🧠 What’s still fundamental when agents handle the syntax🔄 Where beginners should start in 2026 (it’s not where you think)🚀 The new hard parts: deployment, databases, security, and getting your app on the internet⭐ Ryan’s viral 3-file system for building with AI agents (5,000+ GitHub stars)🧪 Why “vibe coding” gets you a prototype but not a product🛠️ The skills that separate someone who prompts from someone who shipsRyan is the founder of Treehouse (raised $23M, taught 1M+ students, acquired 2021), Builder in Residence at Amp (Sourcegraph's coding agent), and is currently building Untangle, a real production app, almost entirely with AI tools.Whether you're a complete beginner curious about coding in 2026 or an experienced developer rethinking your workflow, this one's for you.🔗 LINKS & RESOURCES:• Ryan Carson's website: https://www.ryancarson.com/• Ryan's articles on agent workflows: https://www.ryancarson.com/articles• Code Factory workflow: https://x.com/ryancarson/status/2023452909883609111• Agent teams in OpenClaw: https://x.com/ryancarson/status/2020931274219594107• Agents that ship while you sleep: https://x.com/ryancarson/status/2016520542723924279• Ryan's newsletter: https://ryancarson.substack.com/• Untangle: https://untangle-us.com/• Amp (Sourcegraph coding agent): https://ampcode.com/🗞️ Subscribe to The Neuron newsletter: https://theneuron.ai
