How they build

Corey Haines avatarCorey Haines

  • Marketing something that solves a real problem is a service, not a necessary evil.
  • Learning in public is one of the most generous things you can do.
  • Turn your expertise into frameworks and SOPs — and now into skills AI agents can run.
  • Marketers who learn a little technical skill get outsized leverage.

Meng To avatarMeng To

  • Designers don't need to code like engineers but should understand how code works.
  • Prototype in the real medium so design work makes it into the final product.
  • Teach by building real projects step by step.
  • Keep adapting the curriculum to whatever tools designers are adopting next.
