The Builder's Toolkit
For people who make things with AI.
For the past six months, I’ve been building in public—Chrome extensions, machine learning tools, agents, etc.—and writing about what I learn along the way.
And I’ve noticed that most of you aren’t just reading. You’re building, too.
92% of my subscribers are fellow Substack creators. Many of you are experimenting with AI, learning to code, and shipping side projects. You’re vibe coding your way through problems just like I am while learning about UX and engineering best practices.
So I built something for us.
This isn’t a paywall for content. All my articles are staying free. Instead, I’m offering resources and hands on projects for people who want to make things with AI. (Plus whatever interesting software I manage to ship.)
What’s included
Monthly build projects
Each month, you’ll receive a new take-home project with three difficulty tier (Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced) that you can build at your own pace, on your own schedule, and from any time zone:
Beginner: Working tools and websites you can build with Claude Code in 1–2 hours. No coding experience required.
Intermediate : Chrome extensions, browser tools, and automations. A weekend project for those ready to level up.
Advanced: Multi-agent pipelines and API integrations for experienced builders who want a real challenge.
You can also submit your completed project to be featured in my monthly build showcase.
Plus, you get access to a full archive of past live workshops on Claude Code, Cursor, Tailwind, and more.

Why I’m doing this
Writing about building is great. But there’s something different about being in a room (even a virtual one) with people who are in the middle of their own projects, debugging the same weird errors, discovering the same aha moments.
I’ve learned more from five minutes of watching someone else’s screen than from hours of documentation. I want to create more of those moments.
Who this is for
✓ Substack writers experimenting with AI tools
✓ Developers learning to vibe code
✓ Curious builders who want to make things, not just read about them
Who this is NOT for
✗ People looking for polished courses or expert instruction (I’m a builder who documents what I learn, not a teacher)
✗ Readers who want access to articles (stay free—I appreciate you!)
Pricing
Standard pricing is $9/month or $65/year.
