Sound Familiar?

You reach for the most capable model, spend a small fortune in tokens, and still fix the code by hand. You cannot even feel it going wrong.
Believed 20% fasterMeasured 19% slower

In a 2025 randomized trial, experienced developers expected agents to make them 20% faster. The same tasks took them 19% longer. METR, 2025

The failureWhat it looks like in your run
It sounds right, and it isn'tA confident summary of work the git diff does not show.
It can't see what it needsIt re-asks a settled question, or edits the wrong file because it never read the right one.
Nothing checks the resultThe agent says “done,” and nothing proved it.
It does what you didn't sanctionA file outside the task changes, and no one asked for it.

These are measured behaviors. Facts in the middle of a long context get lost (the U-curve, Liu et al., TACL 2024), and Ambig-SWE reports up to 74% higher issue resolution when an agent can ask for missing information instead of guessing.

The Vision

The best teams have already moved past this.
Engineers at frontier labs like OpenAI and Anthropic keep their agents running for hours, even overnight, with little supervision, and still get back code they trust.

The method is what changes, and you can learn it. They frame the task, control the context, and verify the result, so the agent corrects itself instead of waiting for you. This bootcamp teaches those habits, so you run agents the way the strongest teams already do.

Meet Your Instructor

Taught live, in a small room, by an ex-Microsoft and ex-Meta engineer with close to 30 years in the field. No pre-recorded lectures.
Ex-Microsoft and ex-Meta, now CTO at an AI startup, with nearly 30 years in the industry

Close to three decades building software: about 17 years at Microsoft across Windows, Office, and Skype, about 10 years at Meta on Groups and Messaging, and product leadership at Snapchat. Now CTO at an AI startup building agents.

Few engineers this senior teach a small live cohort. Most run large organizations and never sit in the room with you. Here you learn the craft from one of them, and that access is the point of this format.

That depth shapes the material: how experienced engineers fold agentic tools like Claude Code into daily work, and what interviewers look for in a system design round. Sessions are live and small, so you can ask questions as they come up.

What You'll Learn

You define and bound. The agent executes. The agent or system verifies. You judge. Execute never changes shape. The other four mature across three levels.
Define
Bound
Verify
Judge
Level 1Operate one task
Define the job and proof
Limit agent authority
Prove the outcome
The human decides
Level 2Make runs need you less
Make context durable
Enforce the boundaries
Automate the verification loop
Attention shifts to exceptions
Level 3Scale the same loop
Choose and split the work
Contain the risk of scale
Verify the whole system
The right human decides

You learn it in Claude Code, but the loop is tool-agnostic. The same Define → Bound → Execute → Verify → Judge governs any coding agent.

This cohort has started, so enrollment is closed. Join the waitlist and you'll be first in line when the next cohort opens.

Who It's For

This is for you if
  • You want to take your AI coding to the next level, from autocompleting to operating an agent.
  • You want to multiply your productivity, and prove the gain instead of guessing at it.
  • You're a tech lead or senior engineer, and your name goes on what others merge.
  • Anyone can prompt an agent now. You want the operating skill that separates shipped work from a plausible-looking answer.
It's not for you if
  • You're learning to code — the course assumes you can read a diff and judge whether a test is honest.
  • You want a tour of features — tools appear only inside the exercise that needs them.

Learn Together

Piecing this together yourself — a Twitter thread here, a blog post there — is the slow, unreliable way to learn it. This bootcamp runs live, so you learn the workflow straight from someone who already uses it, alongside a small group, with an instructor to ask whenever you get stuck.

Learning alone is hard. Learning together is easy.

And the bar is high. Every session is built and taught to the AlgoMonster standard: high-signal, no filler, by professionals who've done this work at the top of the field.

How it runs

Before we start
~20 min
Install Claude Code, then let it set up the practice project while you check its work.
Day 1 · live
2 h
Operate one run, then design the task.
Day 2 · live
2 h
Verify, bound, and decide.

The live hours are practice with someone watching, not lectures: comparing your instructions against someone else's, seeing a run go wrong and get fixed, and being told when to step in and when to leave it alone.

Prerequisites

A laptop you can install software on, and a Claude account that can run Claude Code — a paid plan or a Console account (usage during class bills to it). You bring one project of your own to plan against — you only prepare and plan on it, and the agent never changes company code during the class.

Our Guarantee

2x–10x your productivity

Finish the bootcamp and your output goes up, by two to ten times in our experience. If you do not get a productivity boost, we will refund you in full.

FAQ

Session 1 is Saturday, August 22, 7:00–9:00 PM Pacific. Enroll to reserve your seat, and you'll get the joining link and the Session 2 time by email.
Two live sessions of about two hours each, plus about twenty minutes of setup beforehand. Sessions are hands-on, and everything is recorded.
No. The practice repo is Python so everyone works on the same code, but nothing taught is Python-specific — the labs are about context, specification, verification, and review.
Not for the live labs, which all run on a public practice repo. The overnight work uses a repo of your own, but preparation only: you rank tasks and write an instruction file, and the agent never changes company code during the class.
Yes — a Claude subscription or a Console account, because the labs run real agent sessions and that usage bills to your account. The labs run in Claude Code, but the operating model of context, specification, verification, and review transfers to any coding agent, so what you learn carries over to Cursor, Codex, Copilot, and others.
That's frequently the lesson. The labs are built on a throwaway clone, and one of them exists specifically so you can watch a guardrail refuse an agent that tries.
Attend Day 1. If it isn't for you, email us and we'll refund you in full — no questions asked.
Finish the bootcamp and you should ship at least twice as much with an agent, often much more. If you don't see a productivity gain, we'll refund you in full.
No. The list price is $399. The founding cohort is discounted to $199 because it's the first run, and active AlgoMonster members pay $149 — the member price applies automatically when you're logged in. Future cohorts go back to regular pricing. Your access — recordings, materials, and this page — is permanent regardless of what later cohorts pay.
A call with the course creator about whatever is most useful to you — questions from the sessions, your own workflow, anything. It comes with the first ten enrollments only, and we'll email you to schedule it.
Yes. Everyone who finishes the course gets a certificate of completion, which you're free to share on LinkedIn or with your team.
Your access doesn't expire. Session recordings and materials stay on your account after the cohort ends, so you can go back to them whenever you need.
No. The bootcamp is a separate, one-time purchase, fully independent of an AlgoMonster membership — you don't need a subscription to attend, and buying the bootcamp doesn't give you one. That said, if you are an AlgoMonster member, you get a discount: $149 instead of $199, applied automatically when you're logged in.
