This guy clearly hasn't taught at a coding bootcamp. While he means well, you absolutely MUST go through the basics - the key is not staying there for long because, yes, it's boring.

It's important to give context and ground your proposed problems in reality. Relatable content is the single most important part, so skip the "foo/bar" stuff and go for real-life examples. That's it! No need to write clickbait!

If you believe people with no coding experience will magically figure it out, you'll have a bad time and your students will hate you.
