I am co-teaching an AI course for college business students. We decided to use Claude Code and Visual Studio since the space is moving so quickly and we thought understanding some of the fundamentals is the most value they could get from the course.

It was the right choice. But many of the rough edges of the terminal do surface and confuse non technical people.

Isn’t that a good thing? It would be irresponsible to introduce non-technical students to building software without at least covering some basics like a terminal and encouraging some understanding of the limits of their capabilities.
