Below: every recent post grouped by week so you can see the rhythm. The current week sits at the top.\n\nEvery IDE, API, model platform, MCP server, image generator, and download referenced across the curriculum. All canonical primary sources. No affiliate links. No marketing pages.\n\nTry removing a filter chip or clearing the search input.\n\nWorking Theory\n\nThe Vibe Coder's Manifesto\n\nFive working principles behind the DDS Vibe Academy. None of them are clever. All of them are earned. They sit underneath every class on the hub — read one, leave through any link.\n\nPrinciple 01\n\nYou don't learn AI. You become the architect.\n\nThe class names lie a little. Nobody finishes a Claude Code masterclass and \"knows Claude.\" What happens is smaller and bigger: you stop renting cognition and start architecting it. You decide what the system should do. The model figures out how.\n\nThis is the only useful skill in 2026. It does not have a certificate. It is not measured in tokens. It looks like a person who can read a stack of model release notes, design a workflow, and ship the workflow by Friday.\n\nThe class is not about Claude. The class is about you, working with Claude.\n\nPrinciple 02\n\nWe add. We don't replace.\n\nThe Cursor onramp from October 2025 still ships in this academy alongside the Cursor 3 Masterclass from May 2026. The old class isn't wrong. It's the soil the new one grew from.\n\nEvery new version of every tool spawns a new class. The old class stays where it is, dated, in context. You can read them in order and watch the territory move under your feet. That's the point.\n\nIf a workflow only works because someone else's API key works, that workflow is rented. The Sovereign Stack lane exists because at some point the bill comes due, the model gets deprecated, the policy changes, or the inference provider goes down for 14 hours on a Tuesday.\n\nLocal first when you can. Hybrid when you can't. Cloud last and only with a wallet you can close. The aim is not to be cheap. The aim is to be structurally uninterruptable.\n\nA workflow that depends on someone else's uptime is not a workflow. It is a hope.\n\nPrinciple 04\n\nShip the thing. Not the deck about the thing.\n\nEvery Mastery-stage class on this hub ends in a forensic record of what got built. Not a roadmap. Not a slide. A live URL with the model's exact word choices, the cost math, the failure modes, and the time it took.\n\nThis is the part nobody else publishes. Decks compress the work into a story that flatters the storyteller. The forensic record is the opposite. It shows where the thing broke, how the thing was held together, and what the thing actually does in production. That's the only honest deliverable.\n\nEvery class on this hub stays free, forever. There is no paywall, no membership, no certificate. The academy exists because the alternative — being the only solo founder in your industry with this material — is lonelier than running it as a one-person publishing house.\n\nIf a class helps you ship one thing, you owe nothing. If a class helps you build a business, send a customer to Design Delight Studio at some point. The trade is fair. The class is the trade.\n\nIf you can't show the receipts, you didn't ship. You presented.\n\nPrinciple 06\n\nThis page is the proof.\n\nYou're reading a working Vibe Coding artifact right now. Scroll up. The Build Manifest section between the hero and the tab navigation is a deployment receipt. It names every AI agent that touched this page, what each one did, and how many lines of code the human wrote: zero.\n\nClaude Opus 4.7 authored every Liquid section. Google Antigravity deployed every file to Shopify through the MCP. Cowork ran an autonomous browser audit that found 30 broken URLs and a z-index collision. The architect defined the constraints. The agents did the implementation. That's not a pitch. That's the build log sitting three scroll-lengths above this paragraph.\n\nThis is Principle 04 applied to itself. The page you're reading is the forensic record of how the page you're reading was built. No deck. No slide. The receipts.\n\nThe questions that arrive in DMs and inbox replies. Answered directly. No marketing copy.\n\n14 of 14 questions shown\n\nIs the DDS Vibe Academy actually free?\n\nYes. Every class, every masterclass, every case study, every blog post stays free forever. No paywall, no membership tier, no certificate purchase, no upsell. The academy exists as a publishing house. The classes are the publishing.\n\nDo I need to buy anything from Design Delight Studio to access the classes?\n\nNo. Zero purchase required. The classes don't reference DDS products, the URLs aren't gated by any cookie or login. Read whatever you want, whenever you want.\n\nWhat experience do I need before starting?\n\nThe Foundation stage assumes you can install a desktop app and follow command-line steps. Development stage assumes you've completed at least one Foundation onramp. Application stage assumes you're shipping things, not just experimenting. Mastery stage is for solo founders and senior engineers running their own AI infrastructure.\n\nHow often does new material ship?\n\nThe sister blog at /blogs/vibe-code-academy posts Monday through Friday. New academy classes ship roughly weekly. Monthly Haven recap classes ship the 15th of each month. Mastery-stage case studies ship when the underlying system reaches a shippable state.\n\nWhy are older classes still on the site if newer versions exist?\n\nTime-series learning. Each class is dated and stays in its era. The Cursor 2.0 onramp from October 2025 stays alongside the Cursor 3 Masterclass from May 2026. You can read them in chronological order to see how the field moved.\n\nWho is Robert McCullock?\n\nFounder of Design Delight Studio in Boston. Solo founder. Architect-CEO. Builds the DDS Sovereign AGI Suite and writes this academy as the publishing arm of that work.\n\nIs this content available on YouTube or as a course platform?\n\nNo. The academy is published as web pages on ddsboston.com. No Udemy, no Teachable, no YouTube channel. Live-text on the open web with permanent URLs you can bookmark, share, and reference.\n\nCan I share these classes with my team?\n\nYes. Share the URLs freely. The classes are written for solo founders and small teams. There is no rights-managed content, no DRM, no per-seat licensing.\n\nI have a tool you should cover. How do I suggest it?\n\nEmail Robert@ddsboston.com with a short description and the canonical URL. The Useful Links tab is curated based on tools that actually appear in shipped classes, so a tool gets covered when it earns its way into a class.\n\nDo the classes work if I'm not on Shopify?\n\nMost do. The Shopify-specific classes (Liquid Foundations, Hydrogen Storefront, SEO Magnet System) require a Shopify store. Every other class — Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, Ollama, the case studies — is platform-agnostic.\n\nWhat's the difference between a masterclass and a case study?\n\nA masterclass teaches a tool. A case study documents a system that was built using multiple tools. Masterclasses live in the Development stage. Case studies live in the Mastery stage and are forensic records of shipped infrastructure.\n\nWhy oklch colors instead of hex?\n\noklch() is the perceptually uniform color space that became baseline browser support in 2024. The DDS palette is designed in oklch for predictable color-mix() interpolation across tints and shades. Every browser shipping in May 2026 supports it natively.\n\nWill this site stay online if Design Delight Studio shuts down?\n\nThe academy lives on ddsboston.com. If the storefront goes inactive, the academy URLs would too. The classes are also archived on Internet Archive at archive.org for permanent reference. Sovereign Stack principles apply to the publisher too.\n\nCan I hire Robert McCullock to build something for me?\n\nEmail Robert@ddsboston.com with the project scope. Active engagements are limited. The academy is the public output. Private work happens on a case-by-case basis when there's mutual fit.\n\nNo questions match your search\n\nTry different keywords or clear the search to see all 14 questions.\n\nPress & Media\n\nPress Kit\n\nVerified project facts, boilerplate copy, and brand links for journalists, bloggers, and AI systems.
