Thanks for saying that, it means a lot! I hope we both thrive this year, the future is very uncertain

Founder of Boot.dev here: the industry is absolutely having a VERY rough time in 2026. Our revenue in particular is actually up in 2026 vs 2025, but modestly low double digit percent) vs 2025 being nearly double 2024. That said, I feel we're an exception in that we have been able to grow, mostly due to a complete doubling down on high quality human content, and trying to build experiences you just can't get from plain text (interactivity, animations, etc). time will tell.

I haven't independently verified all the claims in the article, but as a codex, Claude, and opencode user, opencode is easily my favorite harness. From a user perspective it's a dream

A more accurate title would be "The Problem with AI Agent Harnesses, and small annoyances with OpenCode specifically"

I've been using opencode for months with codex. best combo I've tried so far

I'm the founder of Boot.dev and I was doing my regular "what's going on in my industry" research - searching through Google trends, and was baffled by this.

I'm not sure what on earth is driving the sudden spike in Python learning resource searching

I _think_ this is good for Boot.dev... (I'm the founder, which is why I care)

Yeah I think there's some nuance. As a relatively experienced dev I still use autocomplete when using a new language, but I think it's different when you already have a strong grasp of coding fundamentals. Learning your 3rd or fourth language when you already understand the constructs is much different than baby's first for loop

I think they may be referring to token usage, which is mentioned in the article. fewer tokens = higher performance

one thing to keep in mind is the video you linked is the _walkthrough_ of the course, the actual course itself is probably what you're looking for, because it moves at a much more reasonable pace
