⚡ MY APPROACH:
I haven't written a single line of code manually in 6-8 months. Everything I build now uses AI agents like Cursor and Claude Code. This series teaches you the exact workflow I use to ship real products - not just prototypes.
📚 CONCEPTS COVERED IN THIS EPISODE:
Vibe coding basics
AI-assisted development workflow
Cross-platform app development with Flutter
Model Context Protocol (MCP)
Cursor Agent Mode vs other modes
Project structure and organization
🔮 NEXT EPISODE:
"Episode 2: Figma to Flutter with AI - Design System Magic"
→ Install Figma MCP server
→ Connect Figma designs to Cursor
→ Transform our basic app into the beautiful design
→ Learn prompt engineering for UI development
💡 KEY TAKEAWAY:
AI tools like Cursor and Claude Code have lowered the barrier to coding dramatically. If you're creative and good at problem-solving, you can now build real apps - even if you've never coded before.
The "hottest programming language is English" - and this series proves it.

📌 ABOUT SHIP WITH AI:
This series documents my journey teaching non-technical people to build and ship apps using AI coding tools. We're building a community of creators who believe AI should amplify creativity, not replace learning.
My goal: Help 100 people launch their first app using AI by the end of 2026.
