Ship with AI —
on proof, not on vibes.

A hands-on video course for founders building with AI: the setup, the checks and the workflow that turn a vibe-coded prototype into a product you can launch and stand behind.

Hey, I'm Florian.

I ship software for a living, for real customers on production systems. For the last year I've been doing it with coding agents, inside the same strict process everything else goes through.

I learned the hard way that the model was never the bottleneck. The platform around it is. Everyone starts by vibing. This course covers what comes after, when you want to trust the agent with your codebase.

If you've felt that gap between a demo that dazzles and a product you'd dare to put in front of paying customers, this is for you.

The curriculum

What you'll build, lesson by lesson

You build a real application alongside me, from first idea to live URL. The sessions are grouped around the three things that make AI work you can stand behind.

01

Brief the AI like a co-founder

What the agent knows about your product, and how you guide it.

01 · planned

General Introduction

See how context, verification and workflows fit together in a real agent-assisted project.

02 · planned

Harnesses

Understand the tools, instructions and execution environment around the model.

03 · planned

AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md

Write repository instructions that give agents useful project context and clear working rules.

04 · planned

MCP (Introduction)

Connect an agent to tools and data through the Model Context Protocol.

05 · planned

Skills (Introduction)

Turn repeatable tasks into reusable instructions an agent can follow.

06 · planned

Planning

Work through scope, tradeoffs and an implementation plan before changing code.

07 · planned

Voice Mode (underrated!)

Talk through ideas and give feedback while the agent helps turn them into concrete work.

08 · tentative

Planning / Specs

Turn a plan into a specification with clear boundaries and acceptance criteria.

09 · planned

/grill-me Skill

Have the agent question your assumptions and uncover gaps in a proposed approach.

10 · planned

Docs

Give the agent relevant documentation and keep project guidance close to the work.

11 · planned

Cross references

Link instructions, decisions and code so the agent can find the context it needs.

12 · planned

Design

Guide an agent with references, visual direction and feedback on the rendered result.

02

Make it prove the work

How you know it actually works before a customer does.

01 · planned

Type Checks

Use compiler feedback to catch incompatible types and broken contracts early.

02 · planned

Linter

Give the agent actionable feedback on code quality and project conventions.

03 · planned

Formatting

Automate formatting so reviews can focus on what the code does.

04 · planned

Backend MCP

Let the agent inspect backend state and use real data to verify its changes.

05 · planned

Playwright CLI

Have the agent exercise browser flows and inspect the page it actually built.

06 · planned

/verify Skill

Package the project’s verification steps into a repeatable workflow.

07 · planned

Code Review

Review a change for correctness, regressions and missing checks.

08 · planned

Adversarial Review

Ask a separate reviewer to challenge the implementation and look for ways it can fail.

09 · planned

/simplify Skill

Review working code for unnecessary complexity and make it easier to maintain.

10 · planned

fallow.tools

Use repository analysis to spot dead code, duplication and maintainability issues.

03

Run it like a team

How you ship every week without doing it all yourself.

01 · planned

Orchestration Introduction (with Subagents)

Split a task into bounded pieces and coordinate the agents working on them.

02 · planned

How-to: Unattended Work

Prepare tasks with clear boundaries, checks and stop conditions for independent execution.

03 · planned

Worktrees

Give parallel tasks separate working directories to keep changes isolated.

04 · planned

/orchestrate Skill

Connect planning, implementation and review in a reusable delivery workflow.

05 · planned

Remote Control

Follow an agent session and steer ongoing work from another device.

06 · planned

GitHub gh

Bring issues, pull requests and workflow checks into the agent’s terminal workflow.

07 · planned

GitLab glab / MCP

Connect GitLab issues, merge requests and pipelines to the agent’s workflow.

08 · planned

Deployment URLs

Give the agent a running preview to inspect and verify before a change ships.

09 · planned

CI/CD Reviews

Read pipeline results and use automated review feedback to improve a change.

10 · planned

Loops

Run repeated work with an explicit goal, feedback and a clear stopping point.

Who's teaching

Taught by a senior dev who does this every day.

I'm a full-stack developer in a Web Dev & AI unit. I work with Astro, Vue, Supabase and a stack of coding agents on a product team where “just paste it into the chatbot” was never an option. I gave the “Beyond The Vibe” talk at the University of Bayreuth; enough people asked “how do I actually do this?” that I turned it into a course.

I build software a company depends on, with real customer data and GDPR to answer to. I hold AI to that bar, and the course teaches you to do the same.

Husband, father of two. I don't think the job is shrinking; it's moving from typing lines to designing the systems agents work in.

Get the first email when doors open.

I'll email you once when the course goes live, with no launch hype and no drip sequence.

No spam. Unsubscribe anytime.

You'll get one email when the course opens, plus the occasional update about Beyond The Vibe — no third-party ads, and we never pass your address on. We'll email one confirmation link; you're on the list only once you click it. Withdraw any time; we keep a record of your consent for three years afterwards as proof it was given. Privacy.

Questions I keep getting

Anything else? Email me. I answer every one. (yes, personally)

I'm a non-technical founder. Can I follow along?

Yes, if you're willing to get your hands dirty. You won't write much code yourself (that's rather the point), but you will set up real tools: a terminal, git, CI. For every step I explain why it matters as well as what to click.

I already built a prototype with Lovable, Bolt or v0. Why do I need this?

A prototype that works in a demo is a long way from a product people pay for. Those tools are great for the first version. This course covers what comes next: giving the AI real context, making it prove its work, and running the project so you can ship every week without hoping nothing broke.

Can I hand this to a freelancer or my first developer later?

Yes, and that is a good reason to do it properly. The docs, checks and workflow the course sets up are what a new developer needs on day one. They get a project with a paper trail instead of a pile of generated code nobody can explain.

I already use Copilot / Cursor / Claude Code. Is this too basic?

Not if your workflow is “prompt, eyeball the diff, hope”. The course starts where autocomplete and chat stop: it gives agents the context, verification loops and infrastructure to work without you watching every keystroke.

Which tools does the course use?

Mainly Claude Code, with Codex CLI as a second opinion. The levers the course teaches (context, verification, infrastructure) carry over to whatever agent wins next year, and the tool-specific parts are marked as such.

How much time does it take?

That is up to you. Everything is unlocked from day one and nothing expires. I will confirm session lengths as I record the lessons. Each one ends with something running in your own repo, so the time you put in pays off straight away.

What if the models change and this is outdated in six months?

Models change; the system around them doesn't. A better model makes good context, verification and infrastructure more useful, because they're what let you hand it more work. The course also keeps growing after you buy it, and you choose how long you get the new lessons: for a year, or for as long as I keep adding them.

What do I get, and what happens after a year?

There are two options at checkout. Both unlock every lesson that exists on the day you buy, and your access to those never expires. They differ in what comes later: one includes every lesson published in the twelve months after your purchase, the other every lesson I add for as long as the course runs.
