Module 3

The Builder

You build and deploy a functional web application — without writing a single line of code by hand. The 'I could never build software' belief breaks here.

Estimated time: 4–6 hrsPrimary tool: Lovable.dev, Vercel6 drills

The barrier to building software has collapsed. The new barrier is knowing what to build and how to describe it. This module trains description.

Drills in this module

3.1

The Spec

After this drill, you can write a clear application specification — a product brief — that AI can execute against.

30 min

3.2

The First Build

After this drill, you have generated a working web application from your spec using Lovable.dev.

30 min

3.3

The Iterator

After this drill, you have refined your app through 5 rounds of targeted feedback and understand that iteration — not the first build — is where quality is made.

40 min

3.4

The Deploy

After this drill, your application is live on Vercel with a public URL you can share with anyone in the world.

20 min

3.5

The Diff

After this drill, you can read a GitHub diff — the record of what changed in your code — with AI assistance and understand what changed and why.

20 min

3.6

The Fork

After this drill, you have forked a sample project, made meaningful changes, and deployed your version — demonstrating that you can build on existing code, not just from scratch.

The Landing Page

Build a personal or professional landing page using Lovable.dev, push it to GitHub, and deploy on Vercel. You'll have a live URL you can share by end of module. This is the Public URL milestone — from this point forward, you have a live web application.

·A live URL on Vercel — your first deployed web application
·GitHub repository with your app code
·Posted in #show-your-work in the Discord community

Key lesson

“You don't need to know how to code. You need to know how to describe what you want — precisely, completely, and with awareness of what you're leaving out.”
