GSD Camp - Vibe Coding: Shipping Without Fear
Enlightened empowerment in the age of AI. AI erased 95% of what a coding bootcamp used to teach. This free Monday series is the other 5% — the part that isn't about writing code, it's about staying in control of code you didn't write. Each week, ATXCTO John Davison takes one module from the GSDCamp.ai curriculum and compresses it into a tight, live masterclass: the mental model, seen through the same lens professionals use, so you can direct AI instead of being dragged by it. Go from "this stack is kind of scary and unstable" to "I'd take a real financial risk on this."
This week — the last mile. "It works on my machine" is not a shipping standard. We'll cover controlling your own environment (local dev, git, env config), an actual deploy to somewhere the world can reach, and then proving the whole flow with integration, browser, and human tests. This is the module where one founder's move from a hosted platform to local tooling with Claude Code turned into a 5× jump — not from magic, but from owning the environment instead of renting it. Shipping with confidence is how you earn the right to say you built something.
You walk out able to: deploy — and prove the whole thing works before you hand it to anyone.
This is session 6 of 6 in the GSD Camp Monday series — a rotating tour through the six mental models and the eight skills every vibe coder needs to build software that doesn't collapse on Thursday. Come to one or come to all.
Join an event and you automatically become a GSD Camp member — with free access to the two companion pages for the whole series:
The Checklist — the six mental models → https://arc.gsdcamp.ai/curriculum/The_Checklist
The 8 Skills — the 5% you still need → https://arc.gsdcamp.ai/curriculum/The_Skills
Format: semi-lecture. John runs a live coding workroom (local console + Claude Code) and works through the ideas in real time — you learn, talk, chat, and ask questions.
Bring: nothing technical. Just a good, quiet internet connection.
Perfect for: indie founders, product people getting into the build, and growth/ops folks building more complex agents.
