The Builder's Toolkit
For people building with AI-assisted coding tools
I write Wondering About AI as a working notebook for my software development projects, experiments with new products, and empirical research into AI capabilities.
The Builder’s Toolkit is the practical companion: quarterly take-home projects and access to the tools I’ve built.
What’s included
Quarterly build project: Each quarter, 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 one of my build showcase or vibe-coding best practices articles.
Plus, you get access to a full archive of past live workshops, starter projects, and other resources on Claude Code, Cursor, Tailwind, and more.
Access to my tools. Paid subscribers get free access to the tools I’ve built, including:
Future Scan — Search and analyze 150,000 arXiv papers on AI and machine learning. Updated weekly.
Prompt Collector — Organize your prompts with tags and collections, access them in one click, and add variables for easy testing*
