    Become a Real AI Hero

    Engineering fundamentals are your biggest advantage.

    A lot of people think the rules of software development are being rewritten by AI. They think that code is cheap. That software engineering, as a profession, is finished.

    Coding agents like Claude Code and Codex ship code faster than any human ever has. But without careful guidance, they make codebases worse. And the worse the codebase, the worse the AI performs. It's a vicious circle.

    Code isn't cheap. In fact, bad code is the most expensive it's ever been. If you can design codebases agents love, you can reap the rewards of this new era.

    Software fundamentals aren't obsolete. They're essential. AI Hero is for anyone who cares about the code they ship.

    Hi, I'm Matt Pocock

    Before creating AI Hero, I created Total TypeScript - the industry standard course for learning TS.

    I was a member of the XState core team, and was a developer advocate at Vercel.

    I'm building AI Hero to make the secrets of the AI Engineer available to everyone.
