Learner questions

Who should learn from Matt Pocock?

Developers and self-directed learners building with AI coding agents should start here when they need ai coding, claude skills, agentic workflows, ai sdk, mcp, llm fundamentals, and personalized learning. The strongest fit is a learner who wants material in these formats: free tutorials, paid workshop, skills, dictionary, guides, posts, cohorts, community.

What should I do first?

Use LLM Fundamentals or the AI Engineer Roadmap if you need concepts, the Vercel AI SDK Tutorial or AI SDK v6 Crash Course if you want to build apps, and the AI Skills catalog if you want practical agent workflows like /teach, /grill-me, /tdd, and /triage. After that, open one related resource below and write down the exact workflow, concept, or implementation pattern you want to apply.

What problem does this help with?

Practical developer-focused AI education across LLM fundamentals, AI SDK app development, MCP, Claude Code workflows, agent-ready codebases, evals, TDD, handoffs, and reusable skills such as /teach, /grill-me, /to-prd, /to-issues, /tdd, /triage, and /handoff. Use this profile when you are comparing educators by topic, level, format, and practical usefulness rather than browsing random AI content.

How do I compare this with other educators?

Compare the skill coverage, the starting recommendation, the educator's own resources, and any videos when available. If you need ai coding, search the directory for that skill and shortlist three profiles before committing to a course, book, or playlist.
