The Era of "Vibe Coding" is Over. It's Time to Ship Production Code.
If you are a technical founder, you already know that AI has fundamentally changed how we build software. But if you’ve tried using AI to build a complex, production-ready system, you’ve likely hit a wall. When you rely on basic prompting or "vibe coding" (rapid, unconstrained prototyping), you can build an MVP in a weekend—but you end up with un-maintainable spaghetti code, infinite debugging loops, and a system that collapses under its own weight when you try to scale.
To break through, we must stop thinking like junior developers writing syntax, and start thinking like Senior Engineers designing systems.
We won't just talk theory. In this hands-on workshop, we'll break down the exact skills & frameworks you need to plan, architect, and ship robust production code with AI. We'll cover:
The Evolution of AI Coding: Understand exactly where the landscape is right now. We will map the journey from the early days of Prompt-Based autocomplete, all the way to today’s gold standard: Agentic Workflows & Ralph loops
The "Grilling" Technique: Stop guessing what the AI needs. Learn how to invert the dynamic and force the AI to interview you about edge cases, data structures, and assumptions before it writes a single line of code.
Project Planning for AI: How to break large technical epics into atomic, verifiable steps that an AI agent can execute flawlessly.
Who This Is For:
Early-stage technical founders, CTOs, computer science and software students, and builders who want to move beyond AI prototypes and weekend MVPs, and use AI to build maintainable, scalable, production-ready software.
What You'll Leave With:
You will walk away with the mental models, the workflows, and the exact step-by-step strategies to stop wrestling with your AI tools and start using them to ship production code faster than ever before.
