| <h1>You Have Ideas. Now Make Them Real.</h1> | |
| <p><em>An invitation to Learn Vibe Build</em></p> | |
| <hr> | |
| <p>If you've been reading along here, you know I've been <a href="https://unforced.substack.com/p/building-in-the-margins">building in the margins</a> lately. Small projects emerging from conversations. Ideas becoming real in days instead of months.</p> | |
| <p>That shift — from "I should build that someday" to "let me just... build it" — is what I want to share.</p> | |
| <hr> | |
| <h2>What is Learn Vibe Build?</h2> | |
| <p>A 4-week cohort for people who want to create things using AI as a collaborator.</p> | |
| <p>Not a bootcamp. Not tutorials you watch alone. It's a container — 25 people learning together, building alongside each other, figuring this out in real time.</p> | |
| <h3>What you might create:</h3> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>A website for your creative work or business</li> | |
| <li>A newsletter system or content practice</li> | |
| <li>A tool that helps you organize something in your life</li> | |
| <li>Something for your community</li> | |
| <li>An idea you've been carrying but didn't know how to make real</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <p>The point isn't to become a developer. It's to close the gap between vision and artifact. To experience what it feels like when the bottleneck shifts from "can I build this?" to "what do I actually want?"</p> | |
| <h3>How it works:</h3> | |
| <ul> | |
| <li>Starts January 20, runs 4 weeks</li> | |
| <li>Live sessions Tuesdays at 6pm MST</li> | |
| <li>Office hours throughout the week for hands-on support</li> | |
| <li>Primarily virtual, but hybrid for Boulder folks — in-person option at Regen Hub for most sessions</li> | |
| <li>Culminates with demo day on February 13, where you share what you made</li> | |
| </ul> | |
| <p><strong>$100</strong> (scholarships available) + Claude Pro ($20/month).</p> | |
| <hr> | |
| <h2>What's next</h2> | |
| <p>This cohort feeds into <a href="https://ethboulder.com">ETHBoulder</a> (Feb 13-15), where we're creating Vibe Central — an emergent space for building with AI during the hackathon. Go through Learn Vibe Build, and you arrive ready to create.</p> | |
| <p>Miss this round? There'll be a condensed version during ETHBoulder, and another full cohort after.</p> | |
| <p>We're building toward something ongoing — an AI learning community, here in Boulder and virtually. This is the beginning of that.</p> | |
| <hr> | |
| <h2>The invitation</h2> | |
| <p><strong>Applications close tomorrow (Monday, January 19).</strong></p> | |
| <p>If this resonates, <a href="https://learnvibe.build">apply at learnvibe.build</a>.</p> | |
| <p>If you know someone it'd be perfect for, send it their way. We still have spots.</p> | |
| <p>— Aaron</p> | |
