3 trials. No mercy

Prove you're worth hiring

Three challenges. Problem solving. AI prompting. Visual design. Complete them and your profile shows proof — not promises. Companies notice

The vibe coding challenge

A spider diagram or an empty chart

Three tests. Seven scores. Companies see your chart before they see your name. Skip it and they see nothing

GitHub repo + live URL

Every assessment produces a public repo and a deployed site we can inspect

Take it anytime

No scheduled slots. Any developer can start the challenge whenever they want

Security scan — pass or fail

We analyze the code for vulnerabilities. One critical issue and you're done

Spider diagram — 7 dimensions

Three assessed, three derived from your code, and one earned over time through client work

The 7 dimensions

Your spider diagram isn't static. Every client project updates your scores based on real reviews. The challenge gets you started — delivery keeps you sharp

Assessment 01

Turn chaos into product

We give them a real client transcript — rambling, contradictory, full of unstated assumptions. The end result must be a deployed working prototype we can inspect and compare. No hand-holding

Problem decomposition

Did they identify auth edge cases, data freshness requirements, role-based access, and archival needs from a messy transcript?

Prioritization

Did they ship the critical path first — not get lost gold-plating a PDF generator while the core dashboard doesn't work?

Architecture decisions

Smart choices without hand-holding. Did they pick the right stack, the right scope, the right trade-offs on their own?

Deployed and working

Not a local demo. Not a screenshot. A URL we can click. If it's not deployed, it doesn't count

The brief

Discovery call transcript

“We have four account managers spending half their day pulling numbers from Meta, Google Ads, sometimes TikTok...”

“Oh also, my co-founder Priya wants an admin view, read only, she might want to see overall numbers...”

“We have one contractor, Felipe, he doesn't have GSuite, he just uses his personal Gmail...”

Assessment 02

Prove AI is your weapon

We show them a video of a working web application. Complex interactions, real data, production-level behavior. They get starter data and a clock. Replicate it

Prompt precision

Can they nudge the AI in the right direction and land on the exact result? Not just prompting — steering

Speed of execution

How fast do they go from watching the video to having a working replica? Clock is ticking

Functional accuracy

Does the replica actually work? Every interaction, every state change, every edge case from the video

AI tool mastery

Claude Code, Cursor, v0, Bolt — we don't care which tools. We care if they know how to wield them

Assessment 03

Beautiful is non-negotiable

We show them a video of a stunning website. Every gradient, every animation, every typographic detail. They try to replicate it. The closer they get, the higher they score

Visual fidelity

Spacing, typography, color, shadows — does it look like the reference or like a bootcamp project?

Responsive execution

Beautiful on desktop is table stakes. Does it hold up on mobile, tablet, and every breakpoint in between?

Animation & polish

Transitions, micro-interactions, hover states. The details that separate 'works' from 'feels right'

Attention to detail

Shadows, border radius, font weights, whitespace — the small things that separate polished from passable

The standard
