Oh come on, you know you are kneejerking. That guy tries to built something valuable and is putting effort into teaching other people, and you are trying to argue some sort of mythology with him.

@OP: My suggestion would be to start with something you are really good with and start building a community from there. The "JavascriptIsSexy" blog/curriculum might be an example of an approach like that. What he does really good is combining existing tutorial/services (codecademy, books, etc), spot their weaknesses and offers guidance on how to overcome these towards a more rewarding learning experience. Another suggestion would be to take a look at the various (in-person) coding bootcamps and see what structure they are following.
