I'm a fairly experienced teacher (8 semesters at college level, couple of online things) but only rarely have been motivated/engaged enough in the process to be more than mediocre at it. I generally need a stronger motive than simply being invested in students' learning/growing.

Yeah that's not enough motive for longer than 1-2 days at most. Even there it's tough. I've made pretty big money in 1-day workshops several times, but even there, I was interested for reasons beyond money.

that's good, it has probably helped in you not turning into a patreon-addled cartoon or a grifter yet.

This is actually acid-testing plans to do more with ribbonfarm school (going to add at least 1-2 courses to it this quarter)

Yeah trying to "teach refactoring" the way the LW ecosystem tries to "teach rationality" seems like some sort of admission of failure of imagination to me. I did the writing course because that served a larger purpose of developing contributor pipeline. Need that kind of motive.

I'll for sure be putting a breaking smart S1 workshop online... since it supports bigger goal of seeing more people run the playbook that I think creates more interesting tech etc. Right now trying to see what other ideas have such catalytic effects beyond learning outcomes

It's 2 years late :D Still plan to do it, but may be significantly shortened and narrowed.
