What an MCP server is, a minimal Python server you can run, the Claude Code command to register it, and the failure modes that make a first server go silent.
Test AI-generated code across contracts, boundaries, permissions, migrations, retries, concurrency, and rollback with a reusable failure matrix.
Use an AI coding workflow that turns issue contracts, tests, diffs, review findings, and release checks into evidence instead of confident summaries.
Use an AGENTS.md file to give coding agents scoped repository rules, nested overrides, exact verification commands, and deployment anti-drift boundaries.
Follow a Claude Code tutorial that inspects, plans, edits, and verifies one small repository change with exact checkpoints and test evidence.
Compare Codex vs Claude Code with the same five repository tasks, evidence checklist, permission boundaries, and a decision method you can reproduce.
The real vibe coding security risks a shipping dev keeps hitting, from hardcoded secrets to missing auth checks, plus the short guardrail list that stops them.
How to deploy a web app you built with AI, told by a dev who ships them. Pick a managed host, connect the repo, set env vars, and dodge the prod-only bugs.
AI code review is a useful first pass, not a merge decision. See what it catches, where context fails, a reproducible test matrix, and a safer review loop.
Windsurf vs Cursor in 2026 from a builder who ships with Cursor daily. Real checked pricing, the Windsurf ownership shakeup, and who each tool suits.
How to prompt AI for coding, from a dev who ships real apps with it. Context first, one narrow task, hard constraints, and the failing-case loop guides skip.
How to build an app with AI, walked stage by stage by a builder who ships with Cursor and Claude Code, with copyable prompts and where the agent breaks.
An honest, tested ranking of the best AI app builder options in 2026, with real prices, a lock-in column, and where each one hits a wall.
Vibe coding for beginners, from a builder who ships real apps with AI. The fast path to a working thing, the trap of not understanding it, and the guardrails.
