Is Matt Pocock's AI Coding for Real Engineers worth $795? My take after finishing the cohort.
Wanted to share my experience since I couldn't find much discussion before enrolling. I watched it together with my roommate. Where it fell short for me: - Depth didn't match the price. Most of the core concepts (Plan/Execute/Clear, Ralph loops, AGENTS.md) are already covered in free YouTube content from other Claude Code creators. I was hoping the paid course would go significantly deeper. It mostly didn't. - Examples are narrow. Nearly everything is demonstrated on the instructor's own course-builder app. Ralph loops in particular are shown working great on a greenfield side project he controls end-to-end. I wanted to see these patterns applied to messier, existing production codebases, which is what the marketing emphasizes. But there was a string gap between the marketing and the course - Q&A didn't go deep. Office hours answers felt surface-level and didn't really show the model being pushed on hard edge cases. I was hoping for more "here's where this breaks and how I debug it" and got more restatement of the lesson content. - Matt is barely pushing the boundaries of Claude Code. His /grill-me skill is just a rehash of what a Claude Code Anthropic employee shared many months prior. It's all repurposed. No original ideas. If you're already using Claude Code daily and watching the YouTube scene, I don't think there's $795 of new material here. This is honestly like $30 of material. My roommate feels scammed and will be getting a refund.

Definitely not. I'm glad I got a refund.

Welcome everyone! I spent a lot of money on online courses over the last few years, and I wanted to make a community where we can talk about different online courses that we should take and ones that we should avoid based on our own personal experiences. If you have any ideas for which things you'd want to see in this community, then leave a comment down below and we'd be happy to get back to you.
