Developer educator Matt Pocock responds to KamStaszewski's criticism that he is 'repackaging' an idea practiced worldwide as if it were new.
Pocock's counter: should similar ideas never be repeated? He notes he explicitly quotes a previous practitioner, making attribution clear. The spat centers on how AI-era coding education relates to old apprenticeship-style learning under senior developers.
