F6 โ Now You're Ready: AI-Assisted Coding, Done Right
Track 1: Foundations ยท Graduation โ and the bridge to Track 2
Now we hand you the AI. Not because you couldn't have used it on day one โ but because now you can catch its mistakes. That difference is everything.
๐ Why we waited
A vibe coder who can't read code is at the AI's mercy: they can't tell good output from broken, safe from dangerous. You spent F1โF5 building the eyes to see. Now AI becomes what it should be โ a power tool, not a black box you pray to.
โก How to prompt well
- Be specific. "Make a login form" โ "Make an accessible login form with email + password fields, client- and server-side validation, and an error message area."
- Give context. Your stack, your constraints, what you've already got.
- Iterate. Treat the first output as a draft (the B in B.U.I.L.D.), then refine.
๐ The golden rule
Never paste code you can't read.
Before you accept AI output:
- Read it. Can you explain what each part does? (F3 + the "explain-back" test.)
- Verify it. Does it actually work, including edge cases? Did it leave a secret in the code or trust user input?
- Own it. Once it's in your project, it's your code โ and your responsibility.
๐ You are now a responsible vibe coder
You can build fast with AI and understand what you shipped. That's the on-ramp done right โ and it's exactly where Track 2: Vibe-Coder Level-Up picks up, to take you the rest of the way to developer.
๐ ๏ธ Your mission
Build something small with AI this time โ then do the F6 check: explain every line, verify it works, and confirm it left no secrets and trusts no input blindly. Post what the AI got wrong that you caught. (There's always something.)
โ You're done whenโฆ
- You used AI to build, then read and understood 100% of the output
- You caught and fixed at least one AI mistake
- You're ready to start Track 2 โ L1: Understand Your Code
