I bought this course on day 1 because, yes, an LLM can help you learn—especially surface level or strictly technical info—but only a human who’s been in the trenches and has a passion for teaching can impart that experience to you with all of its nuances and lessons learned.

✨ It’s the final day of the launch sale for my new course, Whimsical Animations! The price will nearly double in a few hours. whimsy.joshwcomeau.com You can see the exact amount of time remaining here:

I should first explain how the business model works. Most people discover my work through my blog (www.joshwcomeau.com). My blog is not directly monetized at all: no ads, no affiliate links, no sponsored content. In 2025, 1.4 million people visited the blog, a number that still blows my mind. 😅
