mkdir -p module-01
{ python3 --version; node --version; git --version; } > module-01/environment.txtThis bootcamp is hands-on: every module asks you to run Claude Code in your own terminal. We start by installing it, signing in (Pro, Max, Team, Enterprise, or Console — the free plan is not enough), and choosing a model: start on Sonnet, escalate to Opus for hard design, drop to Haiku for bulk work. Then we set the AI-first mindset. You stay the engineer of record. Claude proposes; you decide. Every module repeats the same five steps — Plan, Implement, Test, Review, Commit — and skipping Review is the #1 way AI-generated bugs reach production.
