AI Coding is the largest productivity multiplier for engineers to ever exist.

This course is about Principled AI Coding.

Not another app, not another tool, not another model. Instead, we focus on foundational principles and techniques that separate you from engineers bouncing from app to app, model to model, wasting time and achieving little.

This course fast-tracks your transition into the future of software development—where winners are those who can clearly communicate the right CONTEXT, select the right MODEL, and design the right PROMPT. This lets your AI Coding Assistant handle the heavy lifting, so you can ship more in less time.

AI Coding flips the game: we’re no longer fixated on how. Now it’s about defining what we want, composing the BIG THREE and letting our AI handle the rest. The best engineers in the Generative AI Age will ask: “How do I efficiently communicate this work to my AI Coding Assistant?”

In this course, we’ll answer that question—together—and generate entire functions, files, and features in minutes not hours. That’s the power of principled AI coding.

What You’ll Learn In Principled AI Coding

• A Clear, Proven Mental Model
  Master the “big three”: Context, Prompt, and Model to form a foundational mental model for AI Coding. Set yourself up for today’s AI Coding Assistant and tomorrow’s.
• When to Prompt Low vs High-Level
  Learn WHEN and HOW to write concise, laser-focused low-level prompts for existing, production codebases with well-defined structure. Learn WHEN to write quick, lazy, ‘fix this bug’ high-level prompts.
• Craft perfect AI Coding Prompts
  Discover the art of using the right keywords and phrases that instantly communicate complex requirements to your AI Coding assistant.
• Avoid Common Mistakes
  Learn to dodge pitfalls that waste time and slow your progress. Skip overloaded contexts, misguided prompt strategies, and cheap model pitfalls. With these insights, you’ll stay swift, accurate, and confident in your AI coding journey.
• Spec Prompts & Workflows
  Elevate your coding game with massive spec prompts and AI powered workflows that turn feature requirements into fully generated code, all with a single prompt.
• Agentic AI Coding
  Peer into the future of AI coding. Go beyond one-off requests—build integrated loops where your code is created, tested, improved, and finalized automatically.
