I made a living at it, enough to support a family, for over a decade and a half so I like to think I'm pretty good. However, I always had a nagging insecurity: Am I really doing things the best way? Or are there approaches and options the professionally trained programmers now but that I don't? If one of them every looked at my code, would I look like a gibbering idiot? Curated training ensures that you've got a complete picture of the field you're studying where I was always unsure.

The main feature of that being the idea that it is standardized, like a textbook, and all learners follow the same path. Another being how the learning paths will be customized... machine learning algorithms trained on billions of data points like IBM Watson? teachers themselves? Emergent curriculum growing out of interactions with students is something I experienced with the Algebra Project. My question is directed at math educators, asking why expertly curated content is important.
