Teach by Learning; Lead by Teaching
summary
Argues that dialogic education (Freire) and pairing actually produce measurable gains: illiterate adults learn reading in under two months and a small startup with many juniors outcompetes a larger rival. Offers concrete techniques—behavior driven development and repl driven development—plus tactics for pairing: keep problems tiny, assess skill unobtrusively, present opinions as opinions, call out mistakes, and get permission before “teaching mode.” Practical, example-rich, focused on what tools and steps are used.
