Workshop vs. online
Why not another
online course?
I have an online course with 5,800+ students and a 4.7/5 rating. But when it comes to real change in a team, online is not enough. And I know exactly why.
Comparison: online course vs. hands-on workshop
Online course
Generic examples for everyone
If someone doesn't want to engage, they turn off their camera and do something else
Nobody sees where someone gets stuck
Phone, Slack, email — constant distractions
90% of people never finish the course
No connection to your actual codebase
Hands-on workshop
Work on your actual code and projects
Everyone in the room, no escaping
I see where someone gets stuck — and help immediately
Full attention, no distractions
Tangible results in a single day
Directly tied to your problems and processes
What happens when I come to you
Everything is prepared in advance with your tech lead or CTO. The team picks the issues they want to solve — backend, frontend, it doesn't matter.
I move between team members
I don't lecture. I move between people and show each one concretely how to do it. I see when someone is struggling with a small thing where just a tiny push would get them to a completely different level.
Nobody checks out
Online fails when someone doesn't want to participate — they turn off their camera, mute their mic, do something else. In person, that can't happen. Everyone is engaged, everyone is working.
We solve your real problems
No generic examples. The team picks the tasks they need to solve. I show them how to approach them with AI — with their code, their tools, their process.
A better pair programmer
"I'm basically a better pair programmer. But I don't teach them to code — I teach them to think about the project differently."
— Jiri Dolejs
This is the key difference. An online course teaches you how to use a tool. A workshop changes how you think about your work. And that mindset shift is what stays — long after the workshop is over.
I know how online works. That's why I do workshops.

average rating
An online course is great for fundamentals. But when you want your team to truly change how they work — you need someone who shows up, sits next to them, and guides them through it personally.
