A hands-on AI builder course

Build real software with AI coding agents.

Code With Vibes is a self-paced course for technical-adjacent operators, junior developers, and solo builders who want to ship software with Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, or a similar coding agent. You direct the agent, review what it changes, test the result, and build toward production. Beginner syntax lessons are outside the scope; you need to be able to break a problem into parts and make judgment calls when the agent gets something wrong.

The free on-ramp is open right now: ten lessons plus the first two modules. An email gets you in. No card, no drip sequence.

Pricing

Two ways in. The whole thing, or free.

The whole thing is one price, paid once, everything unlocked day one. Or start free and read before you decide.

Good fit

You are an operator, junior developer, or solo builder who already thinks in workflows, constraints, and edge cases. You want to use Claude Code, Codex, or another coding agent to ship your own tools, and you are willing to read diffs, run tests, and debug bad output.

Do not buy this if

You need someone to teach variables, loops, functions, and basic programming syntax from the beginning. Take a basic programming course first. The paid CWV course expects you to work in a terminal, complete technical exercises, and decide whether the agent's work is safe and correct.

First API call, prompting, data, retrieval, agents, tool use, evals, security, production. The whole arc, hands on, everything unlocked day one. Data-source mastery is the spine; the capstone is your own AI stack. You also keep the builder bundle: the prompts, project files, and reusable scaffolding you personalize and carry forward.

The operator mindset track

Ten short lessons on how to think about AI systems before you touch a tool, free from the moment you sign up, plus the first two modules of the builder course: the setup lab and what an LLM actually is.

What you'll need to run it

This course is hands-on. You build by directing an AI coding agent in your terminal, so you need one. Any works: Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor, Google Gemini CLI, or a free local model with Ollama. Budget about $20 a month for a paid agent if you want the smoothest run, or do the whole thing free on a local model. The free on-ramp uses a free path too, and we set you up.

We name tools only as examples. Code With Vibes is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any AI provider, and we do not push one over another. Use whatever fits you.

Before you buy

What is Code With Vibes?

Code With Vibes is a paid, self-paced AI coding agents course for building working software with Claude Code, Codex, or a similar terminal coding agent. Across 25 modules, the course moves from the first API call through data, retrieval, agents, evals, safety, and a capstone. All modules unlock when you buy.

Who is Code With Vibes for?

Code With Vibes is for technical-adjacent operators, junior developers, and solo builders who can break a problem into parts and make judgment calls. Prior programming experience is optional, but comfort with a terminal and technical exercises is required. Anyone looking for beginner syntax instruction, live coaching, or a done-for-you build should skip the paid course.

What will I build in Code With Vibes?

You build a small tested app, a streamed model application, and a provider adapter before the capstone. For the capstone, you choose one of seven use-case tracks and produce a proposal, data-flow diagram, threat model, representative evals, a tested failure path, and operator documentation for your own system. Four capstone tracks include working starter repos.

Does Code With Vibes teach Claude Code and Codex?

Yes. Code With Vibes includes equal-footing setup recipes for Claude Code and OpenAI Codex, and either tool can run the course. The lessons teach the workflow they share: scoped tasks, project instructions, diff review, tests, permissions, handoffs, and recovery; exhaustive product coverage stays with the vendor docs and academies.

Why pay for Code With Vibes when Anthropic Academy and OpenAI Academy are free?

Anthropic Academy and OpenAI Academy are good, free places to learn their own tools. They provide current setup, product concepts, and practical Claude Code or Codex workflows straight from the vendors, so use those lessons. Code With Vibes is worth paying for only if you want one 60-to-80-hour, vendor-neutral build path that continues through apps, APIs, data, retrieval, agents, evals, safety, failure handling, and a capstone.
