A New Way to Learn Tech Skills

Hi JD,

thank you for this article and idea! I agree that our education system has its weaknesses.

There are some learning platforms that try to follow similar approaches. As you mentioned, Stack Overflow is doing it well (even though maybe it's not primarily a learning platform).

• earning badges
• experience points
• leveling up
• social rewards
• having meaningful interactions with peers or mentors

I also like the idea of real money as a reward. That might be difficult to set up from a business perspective. But it's a great motivator!

Best, Constantin
