Three self-paced courses went up this week: a beginner one for people who feel behind on AI, a practitioner one for real workflows like the job hunt and hard conversations, and a builder one on the spec-driven method behind every free tool on this site.
I want to be plain about what these are and are not. They are not a bootcamp, there's no cohort, no live calls, nothing to schedule around. You buy it, you get a PDF, you work through it on your own time, and that's the whole relationship. If that's not useful to you, the free tools and the weekly field notes stay exactly as free as they've always been. Nothing about this site's free layer changed.
Why build them at all, then? Because a decent chunk of what people ask me for help with a career rewrite, a real AI workflow, how to actually ship something with an agent doing the typing, deserves more than a single free tool can hold, and less commitment than a $1,000 cohort demands. These sit in the middle: real depth, no ongoing obligation, priced like a good book rather than a course.
