Private programming sessions

Make sense of the code.

One-on-one help for self-taught programmers and people trying AI coding tools for the first time.

Bring the bug, the half-built feature, or the code you don’t understand. We’ll work through the real problem together.

# generated code is a starting point

The human layer

AI is fast.
Context is rare.

AI can write a lot of code. It can’t see the whole picture of your project, your experience, or what you’re actually trying to achieve.

01 — UNDERSTAND

Turn confusing code into something you own.

We’ll unpack AI-generated code, explain the important choices, and make sure you know what you’re running.

02 — DECIDE

Choose a path that fits your project.

Get help weighing tradeoffs, planning a feature, and avoiding a solution that only looks good in a quick demo.

03 — MOVE

Leave with working code and a next step.

We’ll debug, build, and test together—so you finish the session with momentum instead of another list of possibilities.

Bring whatever is in front of you

You don’t need to know the right question yet.

Python, JavaScript, AI-generated code, setup problems, bugs, architecture, or the next feature you want to build.

01“I have an error and I’m out of ideas.”↗
02“AI gave me code, but I don’t understand it.”↗
03“I know what I want to build. I don’t know where to start.”↗
04“I built it. Is this actually a good way to do it?”↗

A few kind words

Real projects.
Real progress.

Samuel Aha Alegria

My name is Samuel Aha Alegria. I am a multidisciplinary artist who started programming about a year ago. I got into the programming game to give myself more creative freedom. It has been a very challenging year training my brain to think in terms of computer programming and science.

I have worked with a great deal of developers over the course of the last few years as a client and as a mentee. Working with Anthony has been the smoothest experience. He is great example of professionalism and expertise. The only shame with giving him the review that he deserves is knowing that there may be less time for him to work with me when needed.

I plan to work with him consistently because he helped me arrive to a working prototype with little to no stress. I feel like I've stepped into a new age in my life and it is because I had a great coach who is patient, professional, knowledgable and understanding.

I can't recommend high enough!!!

I would highly recommend working with Anthony. He is very knowledgeable, helpful, patient and explains things well.

Anthony has helped me with a Flask webscraping app and a Flask app that interacts with Trader Workstation (the stock trading software for Interactive brokers). This project was filled with issues and yet he still got me to the end result I was looking for.

Anthony has become my go to guy to help troubleshoot project issues or to navigate an area of Python that I have no knowledge or expertise.

I am a consultant software developer working with Java and SQL. I wanted to improve my SQL knowledge and booked several weekly lessons with Anthony to help improve. I was very pleased with the progress that I made with Anthony and am now confident with fundamental and advanced SQL concepts such as Data Types, Joins, Group By and Stored Procedures. The work with Anthony has helped me to be more effective at work. I particularly liked Anthony's calm and considered approach to teaching and the way that he presented a clear path for progress. Highly recommended!

Aziz Meknassi

My Name is Aziz Meknassi, i am self taught python and Django developer, i am a freelancer and currently working on a django project for a client, as all self taught developers we fight in our corners and from time to time to go to stack over flow and when we can't the exact or close solution to our problems, we get deflated as there is nobody out there who can help and the solution takes ages to be found.

I actually got very frustrated with one issue that i nearly gave up the whole thing, self teaching is great but if not careful self doubt creeps in.

I knew what i needed to do to get a solution, however i had no idea how to implement it.

I reached out to Anthony at Pretty Printed for help and took him on his offer for coaching,

Anthony is so down to earth and humble and very knowledgeable, he helped me get over the hurdle in one session, not only that, but I also understood the subject matter way better than just following a tutorial, Anthony's mentorship was really the ingredient i needed for my career and it is worth every penny.

I gained my confidence again to tackle more issues but this time i have a secret weapon, Anthony Herbert.

I will be engaging Anthony's services from now on and i whole heartedly recommend Anthony's services in a heartbeat.

If I knew coaching was this beneficial to my sanity I would have done it a long time ago, but everything has the right time, I am very glad to have found a great mentor.

Sometimes you don't need a mentor but a councillor who can review your code or your methods of coding and advise on better ways to do so, sometimes having someone at the end of the line who is willing to help when you need it gives you a confidence to reach far and high.

Thank you very much Anthony and i am looking forward to another coaching session with you

Kind regards
