Claude Code not only makes you more productive, but can now also help you get better at coding.
Whether you're a CS student or seasoned programmer, it will push you to think deeper about the code you're generating.
How it works:
- The lite mode teaches you as you code: explaining best practices, trade-offs, and why certain approaches work
- Want more? The learn-by-doing mode pauses at strategic moments and asks YOU to write critical sections. These show up as TODO(human) markers in your code (yes, really)
I've been using this myself. It’s turned me into a more active participant and made me more excited to program.
Doing human code reviews on Claude Code PRs has also become less intimidating.
Try it out: run the /output-style command in Claude Code and choose your preferred learning mode. You can even make your own custom output styles!
On a personal note, this is full circle for me. I built this with @dickson_tsai, who used to tutor with @schoolhouse_edu, the education nonprofit I cofounded. We met 4 years ago through Schoolhouse and both ended up at @AnthropicAI, where we kept discussing how to make Claude more educational.
This is an early step towards that. Excited to see what you think.
