Claude has a teacher mode where it will ask you questions.

I’m picking up game dev in my spare time. I’m not letting Claude write any of the code. We talk through the next task, I take a run at it, then when I’m stuck I got back and talk through where the problems are.

It’s slower than just letting Claude do it, obviously. Plus you do need to be a bit disciplined - Claude will gladly do it for you when you start getting tired. I am picking it up through, and not getting bogged down in the beginner ‘impossible feeling bugs you can’t figure out bc you’re learning and don’t fully understand everything yet’ stage.

Are you speaking of Claude's "learning mode" which switches it to a Socratic dialogue mode?

I had assumed they were referencing the "Learning Output Style"

I've been using Claude Code since last summer and had no idea about the learning mode. Between the old features i've missed and all the new features to learn weekly, if not daily, I'm starting to accept I'll never catch up.

You could use the learning mode for that!

I find Gemini 'guided learning' to be very good as a Leetcode teacher. I finally been able to understand dynamic programming and have become better.

thanks for the heads up. wasnt aware of teacher mode but always phrase prompts to "teach me" as a shortcut to get claude to explain everything its offering and prevent from just implementing code
