Build real things with AI. Fast, intentional, and built to last.
Twenty-five years building on the internet. One hundred sites shipped with vibe-coding. Here is everything that actually works, and the traps to watch out for.
Also excellent: Lovable and Cursor. These principles apply everywhere.
The Full Curriculum
Seven modules. Mindset to domain networks to the API layer most guides completely miss.
The Mindset
Why vibe-coding is a craft, not a shortcut. How to think before you ever open a tool.
Read Module →The Spec System
Queue-based specs, companion docs, and why the spec is the skill, not the prompt.
Read Module →The Design Layer
AI has no taste. Here is how to bring yours before the first queue item.
Read Module →The SEO Foundation
Server-rendered HTML, location hierarchy, RIBA, AEO, and sites that get found.
Read Module →The Stack
Open-source first. What to reach for, what to never touch, and the API layer that changes everything.
Read Module →Interactive Tools
Put the principles to work. No signup required.
