   Mind the Gaps: Teaching Devs, Taming Acronyms, and Surviving Imposter Syndrome with Tim Corey

   We met Tim Corey at Microsoft Build, surrounded by people throwing around acronyms like MCP and pretending we all knew what it meant. Turns out, we weren't alone. In this episode, we talk about the gaps in learning that nobody tells you about, the power of teaching what you just figured out, and how showing your mistakes can be the best way to teach. Tim shares his journey from recording rough YouTube videos for his students to becoming one of the most trusted developer educators on the web. We also dive into why acronyms can make people feel left out, what it's really like to balance paid and free content, and how he accidentally built a thriving community by simply trying to help others not hit the same walls he did. And yes, we talk about imposter syndrome, AI acting like an overconfident junior dev, and why debugging on camera might be the most honest kind of teaching there is.
