My first AI course is complete... And it's free!

It's a 16-lesson tutorial on Vercel's AI SDK. It's the missing piece for working with AI in TypeScript.

No bullshit, no hype. Just solid, practical advice.

There's something that we, developers, tend to forget when we create digital products:

"We don't develop digital products for the companies we work for, we develop them for other humans"

It's all about empathy! Let's start creating more accessible products :)
