The Workshop, Production Edition

Learn to architect, debug, and ship real Next.js apps with AI — not just prompt your way to a demo.

Start Free — 14 Days Included with Pro — no per-course charge

What you’ll walk away with

  • Structure a Next.js app with clear boundaries so it doesn't collapse into spaghetti as it grows
  • Write design docs and ADRs, and use plan-mode engineering to think before you code
  • Navigate and refactor large, unfamiliar TypeScript codebases without breaking things
  • Use Git like an engineer — rebase cleanly, bisect regressions, and recover from mistakes
  • Debug systematically with tracing, breakpoints, and observability instead of guesswork
  • Model data in Postgres/Supabase with proper schema design, RLS, and migrations, and integrate APIs with idempotency and retry handling

Where this leads

Production Developer

You can take a feature from spec to production with Claude Code — architected, secured, tested, and shipped.

Questions people ask before they start

Is this a beginner course?

No. This is the Production Edition — it assumes you can already build something in Next.js and focuses on architecture, refactoring large codebases, debugging, and shipping production-grade apps, not getting-started basics.

Will this teach me to use a specific AI coding tool?

The course centers on engineering skills that make AI-assisted coding actually work: design docs, ADRs, plan-mode engineering, and disciplined debugging — the practices that keep AI-generated code maintainable in a real codebase.

Does it cover the backend, or just UI?

Both. There's a full module on data modeling with Postgres/Supabase — schema design, Row Level Security, and migrations — plus API integration covering REST, webhooks, idempotency, and retries, alongside the Production UI module on design systems, accessibility, and performance.

I already know basic Git — is the Git lesson worth it?

If you already do interactive rebase, bisect regressions, and recover from bad merges confidently, you may know some of this. The lesson is built for engineers who want those skills solid, not a first introduction to commits and branches.

Will I learn how to work in a large existing codebase, not just start from scratch?

Yes — there's a dedicated lesson on navigating and refactoring large TypeScript codebases, plus systematic debugging techniques (tracing, breakpoints, observability) for finding issues in code you didn't write.

What does 'production' mean in this course's context?

It refers to the actual curriculum focus: architecting app boundaries and structure, writing design docs before building, safe data modeling with RLS, robust API integration with retries and idempotency, and UI work that accounts for accessibility and performance — the concerns that matter once an app is real, not a prototype.
