Why Michael teaches
Michael started teaching after years of mentoring junior developers and product managers in the tech world. What kept him coming back wasn’t the code or the roadmaps—it was seeing people grow. There’s something deeply rewarding about watching someone go from confused to confident, and knowing you helped them get there. Teaching, for him, is just an extension of that same joy: helping others succeed and believe in themselves.
