Argues that dialogic teaching and Paulo Freire’s methods work for developer education, citing that Freire’s techniques teach adults to read in 45 days and helped a company with many junior devs outcompete better funded rivals. Recommends concrete tactics: use behavior driven development, fast feedback loops, ask permission with phrases like “can I show you a trick,” surface assumptions during pairing (Game of Life neighbor example), and ship curriculum content as courses that apply these methods.
