Question 1

Is this for beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The academy is designed for people who may not know how to code yet.

Question 2

Do I need to know how to code?

Accepted Answer

No. The point of vibe building is to use AI to do the heavy lifting. Lessons stay in plain English.

Question 3

Do I need to know React or TypeScript?

Accepted Answer

No. The tools may use those technologies behind the scenes, but you describe what you want in plain English.

Question 4

Which tool should I start with?

Accepted Answer

Lovable for most first-time builders. Base44 if your app is data-heavy or feels like an internal tool. Replit if you're already comfortable in a code editor.

Question 5

What about Base44 vs Lovable vs Replit?

Accepted Answer

Lovable is the fastest path to a polished web app. Base44 shines for dashboards and CRUD-style apps. Replit gives you a full cloud IDE plus an agent — better when you want deeper control.

Question 6

What models do you teach?

Accepted Answer

Claude Sonnet 4.5 is the default. Claude Opus 4.5 for hard problems. GPT-5 for ideation and PRDs. Gemini 2.5 Pro for huge contexts. Kimi K2.5, Hermes 4, and DeepSeek V3 are great open-source options.

Question 7

What is Windsurf?

Accepted Answer

Windsurf is an AI-first IDE for editing real codebases. Useful once you outgrow a no-code builder. Cursor is a similar option many members prefer.

Question 8

Is this a hacking course?

Accepted Answer

No. 'Hacker' means ethical builder and creative problem solver here. We do not teach malicious hacking.

Question 9

Is the community free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Standard level is free to join on Skool.

Question 10

Is my data safe?
