The old way
Traditional developers learn everything by heart and write every line by hand. Full control but at what cost? It's slow, hard, and by all definitions an archaic way of doing it.

The problem
Coding? Vibe coding? Prompt engineering? Where should you start?
Becoming a developer used to have one clear path: the traditional developer route.
Then AI came along and changed everything. Today, most starters are struggling between either sticking with the old ways or giving up and letting AI do it all.
One is hard and slow, the other is fast and broken.
Neither is the path to becoming a developer today.
This is the way
AI Native Developer
AI Native Developers are the true heir of software development. They own the mindset, the thinking, the planning, understand every step of the way and only delegate the coding to AI. This is the only path forward.
The AI extreme
Vibe coders skipped all milestones, throwing all common sense out the window to hand their entire workflow to AI. It's fast, impressive, but broken and remains mysterious in their eyes.
Own the thinking. Delegate the doing.

The method
Why this works
You won't read every line of code, that time has passed.
But you will learn to navigate your codebase, understand the architecture, review what AI wrote, and own the decisions along the way.
The Interview
Before a single line of code: a real conversation that surfaces what you're building, fills the gaps, and lands a Project Brief you can plan from.
- 1Talk it through
- 2Fill the gaps
- 3Write the Project Brief
The Planning
Turn the brief into user stories, a versioned roadmap, and a PRD per feature — so you always know what to build next and why.
- 1User stories
- 2Versioned roadmap
- 3PRDs
The Feature Loop
Build one story at a time until the version is done. Hearing the same three phases in the same order is what makes it muscle memory.
- 1Plan
- 2Build
- 3Ship
The Regression Test
Before you ship: generate test flows from your own plan, walk the app deliberately, and fix or park whatever turns up.
- 1Generate flows
- 2Walk the app
- 3Fix or backlog
Who it's for
Built for those who want to develop real products the right way.
You don't need years of coding experience, or any experience at all for that matter!
You just need the willingness to put in the work, think like a developer, and learn to turn your ideas into a clear plan that AI can execute step by step.
- Aspiring developers who don't want the traditional learn-everything-by-heart route
- Solo founders or indie builders who need to ship without hiring a dev team
- PMs, designers, or creatives who want to understand and guide what AI builds
- Anyone who's tried vibe coding and wants to break free from broken prototypes loop
Your instructor
Hey, I'm Thomas 👋
I'm a senior software engineer with 20+ years of experience based in Amsterdam. I've freelanced for everything from startups to multinationals, built apps with 100k+ users, launched multiple startups, and scaled a solo development agency to €200k ARR without EVER compromising on code quality.
AI Native Developers is the system I built from that experience, all my experience distilled into a step-by-step guide to become a real developers in the age of AI.
No fluff, no magic. Just real concepts and techniques I've been using myself for years and which you can use to build what ever you dream of.
Pretty cool, right?
