What you're signing up for
Fits a full-time job
Plan on 5 to 8 hours a week. Lessons and exercises are async: you schedule them, not us.
Timezone friendly
Office hours run in morning and evening slots, and every session is recorded with transcripts. Send questions ahead if you cannot make it live.
Go at your pace
Most people finish inside the cohort window. Plenty stretch it over 4 to 8 weeks instead. Both work.
Yours to keep
Lessons, exercises, the course repo, recordings, transcripts. All of it stays yours after the cohort ends.
Bringing your team?
Team seats, bulk discounts, invoicing and procurement: all handled. Start with a single seat if you need to convince your engineering director first.
From past cohorts
“This content is changing my career. It is undeniably maxing out my potential as a developer. The idea that I could plan and build something this big in a couple of hours blows my mind.”
“A genuine turning point for my career. I was a tactical developer, focused on the grind of writing the best lines possible. Now I let AI handle the tactical execution and focus on architecture and the big picture.”
“A working system for using Claude, beyond just tips for getting AI to write code. The planning and tracer bullet breakdown does not only improve code quality, it gives a really good framework for tackling feature tasks. I wish I knew it before AI could help.”
“Learning how to plan with AI instead of just vibe coding. It is like when CI/CD started to become a thing: you realise there is so much you can automate.”
“My previous experience was using AI to think about one thing over here, solve an issue over there. This more holistic approach feels much more sensible, secure and workable.”
“I came for the sandboxing with Ralph loops, and ended up really enjoying the whole flow: PRDs, to phases, to GitHub issues the loops could work on.”
