#1: Wtf is an IDE?

​Fundamental Vibe-Coders — Session 1: Understanding Your IDE & Terminal

​You've been building with AI, things are mostly working, and then something breaks. You paste the error into ChatGPT, it gives you a fix, you paste that in, something else breaks. Repeat for two hours.

​Sound familiar?

​That's what happens when we skip the basics — and honestly, most of us did.

​This weekend we're running the first session of Fundamental Vibe-Coders, a build club for people who want to actually understand what they're building. No boring lectures, no gatekeeping — just a small group of builders getting hands-on with the stuff AI tools assume you already know.

​This one's on your IDE and terminal. We'll cover how to actually navigate your project, what those red error messages are trying to tell you, and why your file paths keep breaking. Then we'll build something together using what we just learned.

​2 hours. Virtual. Free.

​If you've ever closed your laptop out of frustration because you had no idea where to even start debugging — this one's for you.
