I don't build the way I teach

A YouTube coding educator (Code with Antonio) reflects on the gap between how he builds software privately versus how he teaches it publicly. His current method involves pre-building projects, then re-recording them cleanly — resulting in tutorials where everything works first try but viewers only learn to copy steps, not think independently. He distinguishes between vibe coding (outcome-focused, minimal human input) and agentic coding (developer as architect, using AI to amplify skills with precise prompts). Using agentic coding, he can now compress hundreds of hours of real development into digestible sessions, enabling him to record himself building for the first time rather than re-recording. This led him to create a paid two-week workshop on codewithantonio.com where modules drop progressively, showing his actual thought process and technical decision-making rather than dictating lines of code.
