You're not the only one who's had enough.
Web Development Teachers face unique challenges: Students arrive at wildly different levels, from never-touched-HTML to mid-bootcamp stuck on React state, so prep can't be reused lesson to lesson. The tech stack shifts under me, so course material I built last year needs constant rewriting and that unpaid maintenance never gets billed. Project-based learners need code review between sessions, and the back-and-forth on their GitHub PRs is real work that falls outside the booked hour. Career-changer students want job-ready by a date and pack in heavy sessions, then go quiet once they're hired with no follow-on referral asked. On top of all that, HoneyBook charges $39/month ($468/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median Web Development Teacher earns $42,000/year. Software at $468/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your VS Code with Live Share for pair-programming with students is yours. You bought it once. Nexa works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.

I start by reviewing pull requests, because the real teaching happens between lessons. A career-changer pushed her portfolio project overnight and I am leaving comments on her PR, pointing out where she mutated state directly, where a component should have been split, the things that get you past a code interview. The first live session is an absolute beginner who has never seen HTML, so we build a page from nothing, an h1, a paragraph, a link, and watch it appear in the browser, that first hit of making something real. An hour later it is a bootcamp student stuck on why his React form won't update, and we open devtools together over Live Share and trace the stale closure until it clicks. Midday is course maintenance, the unglamorous tax of this trade: the framework released a new version, my old tutorial breaks, and I rewrite it for free because nobody pays you to keep up. Afternoon is a pair-programming hour where a student drives and I navigate, refusing to touch the keyboard so she builds the muscle. The career-changers are the bittersweet ones; they go hard for three months, land the job, and vanish, and I never think to ask the happy ones to send me the next nervous beginner.
