This week, author, political theorist, and professor of political science Corey Robin joins Bad Faith to unpack his recent article about how AI is disrupting how writing is taught across the country. The tech has gotten so good that it's nearly undetectable, and the temptation to cheat on at-home essays is making many teachers consider whether all essay writing should happen in class. But the trade-offs are obvious: Should limited class time be taken up by in-class essays? Is the pedological benefit of at-home essays worth losing dynamic, Socratic in-class learning? What are we trying to teach kids with longform writing assignments anyway? Should we lean in to technological help in writing the way we've all become accustomed to spellcheck? Didn't Captain Kirk teach us that rigging technology to help you ace a test isn't actually cheating at all? Is writing obsolete? Listen to this podcast instead of reading something to find out.

Barak Glanz is 26 years old, and has done quite a few things in his life. He served in the Israeli Navy prior to jumping into the professional world. He worked for Meta as a student, and has has a few impressive startup failures in different sectors. Outside of tech, he is a rock climber, weight lifter, and likes to play chess. He mentioned that he beat someone in 10 moves before, but attributed it to mistakes of his competitor.
A year and a half ago, Barak and his childhood friends shared the personal struggle of learning how to code online. What they noticed was that the current solutions didn't offer helpful ways to practice building real world projects. So they built their own.
This is the creation story of Coddy.tech.
