Developer Level Up

Futureproof your development career with an interactive, online course

Junior and intermediate developers: master the fundamentals of AI assisted development, build a system engineering mindset, and learn with ambitious peers in a new professional network.

Future-ready skills

As AI generates increasingly reliable code, the developer role becomes more focused on system design and integration. Every developer must now think like a technical lead - defining requirements clearly, evaluating AI-generated solutions, and ensuring seamless integration into larger systems.

Personal knowledge framework

You'll learn intuitive mental models of each topic and develop practical systems, captured in your Obsidian vault as connected notes and workflows that transform concepts into lasting habits.

Learn with peers & use a mentor

Join an exclusive cohort of forward-thinking developers, with ongoing access to a private community network for support and collaboration. You'll also have access to your coach for active mentoring with office hours.

Take charge of your career

From interviewing to pay negotiation, from startup versus corporate incentives to co-worker dynamics, you'll adopt a strategic, active approach to managing your career instead of leaving it to chance.
