AI Product Engineer  ·  the first batch

Engineered, not vibe coded.

Nine courses that take an idea to a product with a flow that holds together, an interface a stranger can use, and code that survives the first time something breaks. Every certificate names something you built, running at its own address, and the engineer who checked it. The first batch opens on 31 January 2027.

What you are waiting for

Nine shipped products. And the paperwork to prove all of them are yours.

One certificate per course, each pointing at a thing that is actually running. The plate in front is the AI Product Engineer professional credential, and it is the only one that cannot be reached by finishing lessons: it requires a product of your own design, built from nothing, reviewed by a person.

These are design specimens. The holder name, projects, reviewer and identifiers are placeholders. Every real plate names something a stranger can open and check in a minute without asking us: the thing you built, where it is running, and the engineer who read it. Where the course is about code, it names the repository too.

What opens that day

Three things, and each one ends with something running.

All of it opens officially on 31 January. One or two courses may open earlier as a beta, so that the format gets tested by real people before the whole thing goes live.

01

The courses

No drip feed and nothing locked behind a schedule. Take them in any order, or take one and stop. Each ends with a thing you have built and deployed, not a quiz.

02

Verified certificates

Automatic checks, two peer reviews, then twenty minutes in which a named engineer reads your code against a rubric published before you pay.

03

The professional credential

AI Product Engineer. It cannot be reached by finishing lessons. It requires a product of your own design, built from nothing, running in public.

What this actually is

You will not be watching videos. You will be keeping things running.

Nine courses that take an idea to a product: a flow that holds together, an interface a stranger can use, and code that survives the first time something breaks. AI writes the code. This is about everything else.

Who it is for

You have never written code

That wall used to be syntax. It is not any more. The wall now is knowing what to ask for, spotting when what came back is wrong, and understanding why it falls apart on the second screen. None of that needs you to write code.

Who it is for

You already build with AI

The code comes out fine. The product is what falls apart: no empty state, no error handling, six screens that each make sense alone and none in sequence, and a file you cannot debug because you did not write it.

What you can expect by the end of one course: a thing of your own, deployed at its own URL, with the repository public and every commit in it. Not notes, not a folder of half-finished chats, and not a quiz score.

The lesson player

Every lesson drops you into something that is already going wrong.

Other platforms wrap a text exercise in a game: points, pixel art, a streak. That is decoration over a worksheet. Here you get a simulation, built from the way things actually fail. It is not anyone's production system and we are not going to pretend it is. What it is, is a situation you cannot read your way past.

01It is running, and nothing is wrong yet Messages arrive and get handled, the way they would in the real thing. You watch it work for a minute so you know what healthy looks like before it stops being healthy.
02It breaks while you are watching Not a screenshot, and not a description written after the fact. The log turns red in front of you and a queue starts climbing in the corner.
03You say what you think broke, before you are told A prediction with three real answers, where the wrong ones are the mistakes people actually make. Being wrong here is the point. It is what makes the explanation stick when it arrives.
04You find the fault by pointing at it The thing that is broken is on screen and you tap the part of it that is wrong. Scored on what you hit and what you wrongly accused.
05You push one fix and watch what it does You choose the change, it redeploys, and the log answers. Cause and effect felt rather than described.
06The queue drains and you hand it over The lesson ends with the thing green again and the state changed, not with a score and not with a badge.

The screen never sits still. Never more than two screens of reading in a row before something asks you to act, and the thing you are looking at changes on every single step. A lesson is five to seven minutes. It works on a phone: swipe up to advance, or arrow keys and number keys on a laptop.

And it is not a terminal every time.

Each course puts you in front of the instrument professionals in that discipline actually stare at, and learning to read that instrument is part of the course. Only two of the nine are a terminal.

Product SenseA support inbox beside the actual screen. Complaints arrive, all pointing at one step.
Software FoundationsA request waterfall. One call goes slow, then times out under real data.
Git, Deploy, DomainsA deploy pipeline and a live preview. The pipeline is red and the site is serving the old build.
AgentsA run tree of tool calls and a cost counter. The agent loops and the counter climbs per minute.
Reading CodeA stack trace wired to the source file. 2am, and a file you have never opened.
Shipping SafelyA usage and billing graph beside the repo. A key is public and the bill is bending upward.
Getting Your First UserA live funnel. Signups arrive and none of them come back.
“It is engineered. It is not vibe coded.”

This is the sentence the whole thing exists so that you can say about your own work: to a client, in an interview, or to yourself at 2am when something breaks and you know exactly where to look. Anyone can say it. Almost nobody can show you the live URL, the public repository and the name of the engineer who read the code. That is the difference, and it is the only thing we are actually selling.
