The Real-World Junior Dev Incubator
A 4-week intensive bridge course for CS grads. Stop writing tutorial code and start building production-ready software using advanced AI workflows, industry-standard tech stacks, and real agile team mechanics.
β οΈ Strictly capped at 4 developers to ensure high-touch mentorship.
The Infrastructure & Perks
$10,000 USD in AI & Cloud Credits
The biggest fear for a junior dev is accidentally racking up a massive AWS or OpenAI bill. I am removing that barrier entirely.
You will have access to a massive pool of cloud computing and AI API credits. I want you to go wild. Spin up infrastructure, test heavy LLM queries, deploy databases, and experiment with architectures without worrying about the cost.
24/7 Premium Co-Working Space
Software engineering is a team sport, and you can't learn team dynamics alone in your bedroom.
Your tuition includes 24/7 access to a professional co-working space right here in Kaohsiung. This is your headquarters. You will treat this like your first real tech job, collaborating in person, whiteboarding architectures, and building discipline.
What We Will Actually Build & Learn
University taught you algorithms. I am going to teach you how to survive and thrive as a working software engineer.
1. Professional Git & Collaboration
We are going far beyond `git push origin main`. You will learn how modern teams actually manage codebases:
- Branching strategies and rebasing.
- Writing proper Pull Requests (PRs) and conducting code reviews.
- Resolving merge conflicts without breaking production.
- Collaborating on Open Source (opencode) projects.
2. How Software Teams Operate
You will learn the unspoken rules of being a developer on a product team:
- Running effective daily standups and sprint planning.
- Translating ambiguous business requirements into technical tickets.
- Working with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Docker).
- Communicating blockers like a senior engineer.
3. Advanced AI Coding Workflows
AI is replacing entry-level coders, but it is empowering AI-assisted engineers. You will learn:
- Building and deploying AI Agent harnesses.
- Using Langchain, LlamaIndex, and the OpenAI API to build autonomous systems.
- Automating boilerplate code and software development tasks using AI tools.
- Working with open-source LLMs and vector databases.
4. Direct Project Work on Modern Stacks
No toy projects. You will get your hands dirty building scalable web applications using the tech companies actually hire for:
- Backend: NodeJS, Python, Rust, or Go.
- Frontend: ReactJS, NextJS, and Tailwind.
- Data: PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or Redis.
- Cloud: Deploying directly to AWS or Google Cloud.
Your Mentor: Ben Gervais
CTO & Technical Leader
I am a creative, product-focused technical leader with over 17 years of professional experience building scalable digital products for millions of users. Currently, I serve as the CTO of One Click Labs and run Halibut AI.
I know exactly what companies are looking for because I am the person who hires them. I have hired over 100 people in the past decade, with 70% being technical roles. I know how to quickly filter the true hackers from the script kiddies, and I will teach you how to be the former.
I didn't just jump on the AI trend yesterday. I have been working with AI and NLP since 2017. I tested GPT-2 in 2019, was part of OpenAI's GPT-3 API private beta in 2021, and actively build complex LLM process automation systems today. I will guide you through the exact stacks, architectures, and methodologies I use to lead full-stack AI, Web3, and Big Data teams.
