I will start teaching at a popular bootcamp next month, what’s something you wished your instructors would do/know to improve your experience and why?

I'm surprised your big tech company is allowing you to reach as a W2 part time employee of a bootcamp. I would run that by the conflict of interest team first.If you are a contractor with that much influence over the curriculum, I would double check the contractor / employee relationship in your state and the state the bootcamp is in to make sure it's not being violated. Not paranoia but serious. Like if you work at FAANG and you are doing to teach people under any kind of IP agreement with the bootcamp, you have a conflict not to reveal any IP of the company and unintentionally transfer that IP to the bootcamp. You also might unintentionally transfer that IP to students who go and work at competitors in the future. Sounds crazy but you can get insta fired at some companies so be careful and make sure your relationship with the bootcamp is clear. Codesmith was telling everyone their other founder Alex was leading their AI curriculum and is at Zoox and he asked them to stop for these IP reasons, as he wasnt involved at all since prior to working at Zoox.
