Full Stack Mastery

Hello!

Lenny's Summit was a blast, and the best part was meeting so many of you in person. Nothing beats putting faces to Slack handles.

Lenny's Summit: the sign, the stage, and a few of the members I ran into

No office hours this week. I'm catching up on everything from the past two weeks and working hard on the next major course: AI Building, which lot of you have been asking about. I've got my early draft of the curriculum for you below. Office hours are back next Wednesday with two sessions, details below.

In this email:

The new course has a name, and the early draft of the curriculum
How members get it: the beta in early October, then the live run in November
The survey, if you haven't taken it yet
Office hours next Wednesday, two sessions
The Slack channels worth a look
🛠️ The new course: Build Anything with AI: Idea to Real App

The promise: you arrive with an idea. You leave with your own app live on the internet, built by an agent you directed, and you understand how it's built well enough to keep building.

It's the code level the whole way, in Claude Code, Codex or Cursor, with nothing hidden behind a no-code tool like Lovable. It assumes agents at every step and teaches the best practices for working with them with the models available now.

The early draft of the curriculum: four modules, and each one ends with something you made.

The four modules: The shape of software, Spec and plan, Build and refine, Ship it
🥞 How you get it

It's included in Full Stack Mastery. The beta comes first: you'll get access to the whole course as soon as it's ready, in early October, and your feedback shapes the final version.

Then in November I'll run it live as a cohort over four weeks, one module a week, with a walkthrough session each week and a cohort channel in Slack. Members are in automatically, and I'll send dates soon.

📋 If you haven't taken the survey yet

The survey asks where you are with AI building today, what you've tried, and what you want to build. The answers have been very useful and shaped what this course is. If you haven't done it yet, it's six questions and takes two minutes.

Applications open this week for people outside the membership. You'll see that email too, and you can ignore it since you're already in. If you know someone who might like the course or benefit from it, please pass it along.
