You can buildbefore you can code.
Use Vibe Coding and Codex to make a working page in 7 days, then validate a real AI project in 30.
The 16th case belongs to a reader.
No founder mythology. We document how ordinary people observe, choose, test, fail, change direction, and turn the process into credible work.
From the first run to a real project
Cross the tool barrier first, then enter real validation. Each stage ends with evidence, not a vague feeling of having learned.
- 30 daysBegin with a real problem
Name a person, a situation, and a problem before writing a feature list.
- Release oneKeep only the golden path
Cut the platform fantasy. Build one small thing that can run or be demonstrated.
- Real evidenceLet behavior choose the next step
Continue, narrow, pivot, or stop. Any honest result can be useful.

This site is the source for the book, templates, and cases. The first series covers real problems, tool basics, and project validation.
Open the free seriesThe case library is empty. That is honest.
The first places are reserved for projects that can show the problem, process, division of work, feedback, and limits.
First cases wanted
Your project does not have to succeed. It has to be real.
A failed, narrowed, or stopped project still deserves a record when the validation is honest.
