Track 2 — Vibe-Coder Level-Up

From draft to developer.

For people already shipping with AI. Map the entire B.U.I.L.D. method, module by module — Understand, Interface, Lock down, Document / Test / Deploy — and finish with the Capstone Redemption Project.

For:People already building working apps with AI.Outcome:Take anything you vibe-code to a real, safe, shippable standard.

Lessons

  1. L1 — Understand Your Code

    (The U) Read AI output like a developer. Trace, refactor, debug systematically. No more black boxes.

  2. L2 — Custom UI & UX (+ Accessibility)

    (The I) Escape the AI-default look. Real responsive design + WCAG basics for keyboard and screen-reader users.

  3. L3 — Security Essentials

    (The L) Secrets management, input validation, auth vs authz, OWASP Top 10 — translated for builders.

  4. L4 — Testing & Quality

    (The D, part 1) What testing actually is, what's worth testing, and a manual test plan you can ship.

  5. L5 — Version Control & Collaboration

    (The D, part 2) Branches, merges, pull requests, kind code review — Git as a teammate, not a save button.

  6. L6 — Performance & Audits

    (The D, part 3) Lighthouse audits, real performance fixes, and the full Pre-Ship Checklist end to end.

  7. L7 — Ship It Right

    (The D, part 4) Deployment without mystery — environments, env vars in prod, monitoring, maintenance.

  8. 🎓 Capstone — The Redemption Project

    Take an old vibe-coded app and run it through the entire B.U.I.L.D. method. Before/after audit. The graduation.
