Engineering fundamentals are your biggest advantage.
Everyone thinks AI rewrote the rules of software. That code is cheap now. That engineering, as a profession, is over.
Agents like Claude Code build faster than any human ever has. But without direction, they leave the codebase worse. And the worse the codebase, the worse the AI performs. A vicious circle.
Code isn't cheap. Bad code has never been as expensive as it is today. Whoever can design systems agents understand takes this new era.
Fundamentals aren't obsolete: they matter more than ever. Here I teach you to direct AI with an engineer's judgement. For anyone who cares about the code they build.

Is Claude Code free?
Claude Code isn't free, but there are affordable ways to use it. Here's what each plan costs and if it's worth it.

Why I Built Hushdrop: A Share Button for Your AI Agents
AI agents make reports, dashboards, and whole little apps all day, then sharing them sucks. Hushdrop is the open-source way to turn any artifact into a private, branded link on your own domain, from any agent.

Since adopting Claude Code, my building pace accelerated 6x. This is my real GitHub.
“The tool changed. The results speak.”
“This course changed the way I work. I now use Claude Code every single day and my productivity has tripled.”
Diego Costa
Senior Software Engineer
Hi, I'm Max Techera.
I founded AnswerAI and led engineering at LastRev. In over a decade building software, my systems reached 10M+ users and 20,000+ enterprise pages for Oracle, Dropbox and Coalition.
I bet on React Native at v0.4, when almost no one did: Top Nine reached #1 on the App Store. Later I trained 1,000+ developers at ORT University. I adopted GraphQL, Next.js and ChatGPT early, now, Claude Code.
My mission is to make AI-assisted engineering accessible: to teach you how to direct AI with real engineering judgment, not to copy prompts.
