What I have done

I've worked on servers, databases, background jobs, releases and monitoring, including services used by very large numbers of people. I've also been the person called at night when a live app broke. This course is that work, written for someone who builds with AI and has not had those years.

Why I made it

For the past year I've been reading vibe coding forums. Again and again I saw posts from people who had built something real with AI and then got stuck. Usually they couldn't say where, because they didn't know what they were missing.

They wanted to understand what they had built and close the gap with developers. Another prompt wasn't going to get them there.

I couldn't find anything written at their level. Many beginner courses spend their time on syntax rather than on how an app fits together. Developer docs assume ten years of context you haven't had time to build.

What you get

You don't need to write the code yourself. The course gives you the picture an experienced developer keeps in their head: what the parts of an app are, how a request moves through them, and what usually breaks and why.

With that picture you can give your AI precise instructions, read what it changed and catch it when it's wrong. You'll also know when to stop and ask for help. Along the way you direct the AI to build a real app you can check: Core ends in staging and a written launch decision, not a quiet go-live. Core teaches you to build with AI and stay in control. Production covers keeping that app running once people depend on it.
