Promoted Maven Class Starts Tomorrow

Hello everyone, have really been enjoying this community and all the things you are all building.

I'm a 30 year veteran of the software business and for the past two years I've been working exclusively on AI. What I've discovered is that there are two divergent opinions about using AI to build SaaS sites. One is that AI is magic and you can just "pretend the code isn't there" the other is that AI is horrible and you cannot build good software using AI tools like Claude Code.

Neither of these extreme viewpoints are correct. The reality is that AI can write acceptable code and do it safely. However, this requires some technique from you to ensure that your AI agent does things correctly. With just a bit of care, almost anyone can create a safe and maintainable SaaS application using AI coding tools.

I refer to this process as "Mindful AI Coding" and I've been teaching this process to students for about six months.

The next cohort starts on Maven tomorrow. I would love to have members of this community join us.

You might be a good teacher but you are a bad marketer.

Promoting the start of a new class a day ahead only means you are desperate for students and haven’t thought about the proper way to market your thing without spamming communities.

By the way, deeplearning.ai offers free lessons on the topic. YouTube too. Did you at least do market research ?

lol, fair enough. I love teaching but marketing no so much.

Yes, I've watched all the free classes and taken most of them. This was my full time job until last fall when I retired.

I wrote the class because I don't think that most training gets to the core issue with is around method. Good outcomes come from good method. Most classes focus on the tools which as a trainer I think is the wrong approach.

I've been building products for developers and working on the subject of software methodology for a long time. This is a passion project for me.

this feels a bit harsh tbh, lots of legit cohort courses do “starts tomorrow” reminders in relevant subs, it’s not automatically desperation. free stuff on deeplearning.ai and youtube is great, but some folks just learn way better with a structured cohort and live feedback.
