All foundation pages
What is VS Code?
VS Code is your primary workspace for writing, editing, and debugging code. Learn what it is, why we use it, and how to set it up for AI-assisted development.
What is GitHub?
GitHub is where your code lives online. It tracks every change, lets you collaborate, and connects to deployment services like Vercel. Learn the core concepts every builder needs.
What is Vercel?
Vercel is the hosting platform that takes your GitHub repository and turns it into a live website — automatically, on every push. Learn how it works and why it is the right choice for Next.js projects.
What is an AI Coding Agent?
An AI coding agent is an AI system that can read your codebase, write code, run commands, and make changes across multiple files to complete a goal. Understand how they work and how to use them safely.
What is Verifiable Building?
Verifiable building is the practice of making only changes you can check, test, and confirm work correctly — especially when using AI coding agents. It is the antidote to vibe coding.
