    More than just promoting

    Getting consistent results is more than just prompting Claude with a few lines.You’ll learn the state of the art workflows that produce consistent results. Including spec and test driven development.I’ll teach you how to automate this whole workflow.

    Slop free zone

    This isn't a course on producing AI slop. This is how you can produce high quality code that you're proud to deploy to production. You’ll set your own high standards and teach the agent through different methods how to stick to them.

    Design your own Agents

    You’ll build out agents that are specific to your codebase, with all your preferences. It doesn’t even matter what language you use. I’ll share how I managed to turn Claude from a hallucinating sycophant into a consistent test writing genius.

    Who am I?

    Dan Kentfield - AI Engineer

    @notavibecoder_

    I'm a Senior Software engineer, Tech lead, and Conference speaker.
    I've been building professional production level AI apps using AI coding tools for the last few years in niche languages like Elixir
    So I know it will work for you in any programming language.    I love using AI to write code but I don’t vibe code. Its not about churning out barely functional code, its about leveraging tools to increase productivity.

    Is this like advent of code?

    A bit. AI coding is hard to test, so you can think of this as a more relaxed challenge.
    I’m sharing what I’ve found to work.
    The challenge is completing all 24 days!
    Each day you'll get a short guide to explain the concept, some resources, and a challenge to apply it yourself. I've tried to keep each day down to 20mins.
    In fact you can probably do this alongside Advent of Code.

    Who its for?

    I've met lots of excellent software engineers who are scared of being left behind but don't know what to do.
    So I decide to share what I’ve learned over the last couple of years.
    AI is not a silver bullet, and you're not going to be laying on a beach whilst AI codes for you, but it really can significantly increase your output if used correctly.
    You quite literally get out what you put in.    If you know how to write code and understand what it does then this is for you. The best fit is going to be professional software engineers who want to (but aren't quite sure how to) use AI to produce high quality work.

    Who its not for?

    This probably isn't for you if you hate AI. Likewise if you're an AI pro and have read every article on the internet about AI this might not be a good fit. You also might struggle if you don't know how to code at all, although YMMV.

    What will I learn?

    I’m still finishing up the challenges but here’s some topics you’re guaranteed to cover.
