Vibe Coding
Build real software with an AI pair by your side. Mindset, tooling, prompt craft, architecture, debugging, refactoring, scaling, teamwork, and shipping. You will practice against a live DeepSeek model, the same AI that reviews your code in every lesson.

The Vibe Coder Mindset
You have probably already had the experience. You ask an AI for a function, it produces forty lines in two seconds, the lines look plausible, and you...

Tools of the Trade: Setting Up for Success
Ask ten people who are productive with AI coding tools what their setup is and you will get ten different answers, none of them exotic. What they...
The editor, terminal, and AI panelContext windowsKeeping the AI grounded in your filesA clean feedback loop - 330 min
Prompt Crafting: Talking to AI Like a Pro
You will ask an AI for code hundreds of times a day, and the quality of what comes back is decided mostly at the moment you press send. Ask loosely...
Context, task, constraints, examplesSpecifying inputs and outputsIterating on a promptAsking for explanations - 430 min
From Autocomplete to Architecture
Almost everyone starts in the same place: AI as a very good autocomplete. Finish this line, write this one function, give me the regular expression....
Line-level vs system-level AI useDescribing a design before codeDecomposing a problem for the AIKeeping architectural decisions yours - 530 min
Debugging with AI: When It Breaks, Fix It Fast
Everyone's code breaks. AI-assisted code breaks in a particular way that is worth naming: it looks correct. It has sensible variable names, a...
Reading errors before pasting themGiving the AI a reproductionIsolating the failing pieceVerifying the fix, not just the explanation - 630 min
The Art of Refactoring AI Code
AI-generated code has a recognisable signature: it works, and it is a little worse than it needs to be. Functions that do three things. The same...
Why AI code needs refactoringBehavior-preserving changesNaming and extracting functionsTests as a safety net for refactoring - 730 min
Performance, Scaling, and Reliability
At some point the code has to be fast enough, handle enough load, and stay up when things go wrong. AI is a strong thinking partner here, but it is...
Measure before optimizingAsking AI about complexity and bottlenecksDesigning for failureNot trusting AI performance claims blindly - 840 min
Building Full Systems with AI
A function is easy. A system is many functions that have to agree with each other. This is where a lot of AI-assisted projects fall apart: each piece...
Assembling components into a working systemDefining interfaces between piecesIntegrating and testing incrementallyHolding the whole in your head - 930 min
Team Vibes: Collaborating with AI and Humans
Working with an AI on your own project has one reader: you. The moment the same output lands in a shared repository, it has readers who were not in...
Reviewing AI code in a teamShared conventions and promptsCommit hygiene with AICommunicating what the AI did and did not do - 1035 min
Vibe Coding in the Real World: Projects, Clients, and Legacy Code
Tutorials give you clean, empty files. Real work gives you a decade-old codebase nobody fully understands, a client who wants it done yesterday, and...
Using AI on unfamiliar codebasesUnderstanding legacy code before changing itManaging client expectations honestlySecurity and licensing of AI output - 1125 min
Staying Sharp: Learning, Adapting, and Leveling Up
There is a real risk hiding inside vibe coding: if the AI does all the thinking, your own thinking gets weaker. The engineers who thrive with AI are...
Avoiding skill atrophyLearning from AI instead of just copyingKeeping fundamentals strongAdapting as models change - 1225 min
The Future of Code and Where You Fit In
You have learned the mindset, the tools, the craft, and the cautions. This last lesson steps back from technique to ask the bigger question: as AI...
