You've been stuck long enough. Ship it.
A short, opinionated course that takes you from an idea folder to a live product with Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex. Five modules. One week. One URL you can send to someone.

Your one-sentence product — live.
shipped 7 days after M0
What you leave with
- A scoped, one-sentence product you can build in a week
- A working repo built with Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex
- A live URL you can send to a real person
- A checklist that catches vibe-coding bugs before your users do
The diagnosis
Why smart people never ship
It is almost never a skill problem. It is a scope, sequencing, and momentum problem. The course removes exactly those three.
- 01
The idea keeps growing
Every week you add a feature and the finish line moves with it. Scope is the real deadline.
- 02
You can prompt, but you can't finish
The agent builds 80% fast. The last 20%, auth, deploy, bugs, polish, is where projects die.
- 03
No one is looking
With no deadline and no users, later is always easiest. The course gives you both.
Path A · The main path
Build it with an agent that already knows how to code.
You do not need to learn to code from scratch. You need a repeatable way to direct an AI coding agent so it builds the right thing, and a plan for the parts the agent will not do for you: scoping, shipping, and checking its work.
Pick one tool in M0. Every module after that gives you the exact prompts, commands, and checkpoints for it.
See the curriculumPick one in M0
- Cursor
Editor + agent one keystroke away, diffs in front of you.
- Claude Code
Terminal agent that reads the whole repo and handles multi-file changes.
- Codex
CLI + cloud agent that keeps working after you close the laptop.
Not sure which? M0 has a two-minute picker. You can switch later, the method is the same.
The curriculum
Five modules. Each one ends with something you can point at.
Skip nothing. The order is the point. A few hours of reading, one week of doing.

Path A · Recommended
The FirstToShip course
- All five modules, M0 to M4, with the exact prompts and commands
- Tool-specific setup for Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex
- The vibe-coded checklist: what to verify before real users touch it
- Lifetime access, including every future update
Path B · If you never want a codebase. For an internal tool or a quick prototype, a hosted builder like Base44 ↗ can get you an app from a description. You give up control and portability, so we only suggest it when Path A is overkill.

The difference between stuck and shipped is one week.
