DeveloperYou School

🧭 Why We Exist

At DeveloperYou School, we believe that the ability to think like a developer belongs to everyone.

We’re here for:

• Curious minds who’ve been told they’re "not technical"
• Late bloomers, career changers, and quiet problem-solvers
• People who’ve had doors shut on them, but still want in

We want to help more people learn to develop—not just code, but think clearly, work collaboratively, and solve problems with purpose.

We’re building an on-ramp to software development that:

• Respects your intelligence
• Honors your lived experience
• Prepares you to thrive—not just pass a tutorial

Yes, we plan to be a sustainable business. But we’ll do it by serving first—by giving learners tools that work and educators material they’ll be proud to use.

🛠 How we use AI

We don’t just teach people to code—we teach them how to think with tools. Sometimes that’s a whiteboard, sometimes it’s a REPL, and increasingly, it’s an AI assistant. We believe learning should reflect the real-world developer experience, where using the right tool at the right time is a skill worth building.

We use tools like ChatGPT and Claude to help us write faster, test ideas, and build better lessons. Everything we publish is reviewed and refined by a human—usually after a few rounds of debate. We treat AI like a calculator: helpful when used with understanding, and part of the real-world toolkit we want learners to master.
