Don't teach coding. I haven't come across a discipline yet where:
1/ there's such an astronomical disparity between students
2/ where it's more of a requirement to be an autodidact.
All the good devs i know just pick up books and start reading. If you look professional devs out there, if they all taught themselves how to code, then one must wonder whether you can even produce a good coder by teaching them directly.
Instead, pointing them in the right direction on their learning path at the right time is probably going to be hugely beneficial.
I know for myself i wish i'd spent more time learning than building things. It's been useful too building, however my ratio was off by quite a bit.

Ah. That's where you're getting it wrong. He's hired a bunch of people to do deal with the noise, so he can focus on the signal.
The blockchain & cryptocurrency industry is becoming too big to say the _whole thing_ will pop. If you're telling me AI + Blockchain starts-ups with windbag CEOs are a bubble that will pop, then that premise may have legs.
Will that drag the _whole thing_ down with it? Most likely not. It's like saying Groupon were every to sink as a company, all coupons everywhere would vanish & lose all their value, and people would lose their money.
A business managed poorly is not a reflection of the quality of the raw materials they were intending to work with, or of the rest of the industry for that matter.
Depends. As the article states, the hybrid approach is becoming more common. This gives users the ability to use various applications from facebook messenger, and the UI capabilities of messenger is pretty much good enough to achieve anything.
Oh and this comes along with a modern website that can execute all those use cases too.
But then you throw in the natural language, enabling users to write complex queries in English. That and great funded teams focussing on niches.
My experiences with bots are becoming outstandingly good.
