Hi everyone! 👋 I've tentatively scheduled a weekly live Q&A session every Friday, from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM Pacific Time. It's a chance to ask questions about the classes, discuss technical challenges, or share feedback. The schedule is flexible, and I'm happy to adjust it based on what works best for members. Feel free to share your preferred days and times here in the chat! Looking forward to connecting with you! Aki

Welcome! 👋 This community is for solo developers and tiny teams building real software with AI. The way we build software is changing quickly. AI coding assistants can write code, explore a codebase, generate tests, work with APIs, and even carry out multi-step engineering tasks. But there's a catch: Using AI to write more code isn't the same as becoming an AI-native engineer. The interesting question is how we change the engineering process itself: → How do we turn product ideas into clear specifications AI can actually work with? → How do we structure codebases so AI agents can navigate and modify them safely? → How do we use agents without losing control of architecture and quality? → How do we build automated quality gates instead of manually reviewing everything? → How can a solo developer build software that previously required a whole team? That's what we'll explore here. The goal isn't to replace engineering discipline with AI. It's to combine engineering discipline + AI agents + modern cloud infrastructure into a new way of building software. I'll be sharing the actual process I'm using to build a SaaS product—from product specs and architecture through frontend, backend, cloud deployment, testing, and AI-assisted development. No hype. Just build → test → learn → iterate. If you're building something with AI, introduce yourself below. 👇 What are you building, and where are you currently stuck?
