You can build it
yourself now.
AI has genuinely changed what one owner with a laptop can make. The tools your business pays four subscriptions for — you can build most of them. What hasn't changed is that somebody has to know where the sharp edges are. We teach you that, and we handle the parts that still take a developer.
// Why this exists
AI will help you build something
insecure just as happily as
something sound.
That's the honest problem. Ask an AI to build you a customer database and it will — cheerfully, in an afternoon, with the credentials in the code and the whole thing readable by anyone who finds the URL. It won't warn you, because you didn't know to ask.
The gap isn't the building any more. It's judgment — knowing what to check, what not to expose, and what will still be true in six months when you've changed it fifteen times. That's the part we teach.
Stop renting what you could own
Four SaaS subscriptions doing what one internal tool could do, billed forever. Most small businesses are paying rent on software they could build in a week.
Stop paying someone to do what software does
The recurring tasks you hired for, or do yourself at 10pm — scheduling, follow-ups, reporting, intake. That work is automatable now.
Stop being locked out of your own systems
If you can't get into it, change it, or explain it, you don't really own it. We hand over the keys and teach you the locks.
// What we actually teach
The parts that still
need a developer.
Not a syllabus you sit through. We work from whatever you're actually building, and these are the things that come up.
Architecture
How the pieces fit — front end, back end, middleware, and why the boundaries matter.
Security, by design
Building it in rather than bolting it on, then keeping it that way as you change things.
DNS & subdomains
Records, propagation, subdomains per environment, and why the wrong one takes you offline.
Workers & serverless
Edge compute, routes, bindings, and what belongs at the edge versus in a database.
Databases
Schema design, migrations, and not losing data when you change your mind.
APIs & integrations
Talking to other systems safely — keys, rate limits, failure handling.
Authentication
Who gets in, how sessions work, and the mistakes that quietly expose everything.
The terminal
Git, deploys, environments, rollback. The part most owners are told to avoid.
Building with Claude Code
Getting real work out of it, and knowing when it is confidently wrong.
Compliance awareness
Where your industry's rules touch what you're building, before you ship it.
Non-exhaustive by design. If your business needs something not on this list, that's usually the most useful session we'll have.
// How it works
Theory, demonstration,
then beside you.
We explain it
The concept, in plain language, with the reason it matters to your business rather than in the abstract. No jargon you have to nod along to.
We show you
Live, on real systems — usually yours. You watch it happen, ask why at any point, and we do it again if it didn't land.
You do it
Hands on your own keyboard while we're there to catch you. That's the part that makes it stick, and the part most training skips.
Remote by default, in person locally. Remote runs on a shared screen and works just as well — we do it every day. If you're in the Evansville area we'll come to you. Sessions are recorded with your consent so you can go back over anything.
Courses & build-alongs — later// Pricing
Fixed price. Never hourly.
You should never be watching the clock while you're trying to learn something. Every engagement is quoted before it starts.
Working Session
Bring one problem. Leave with it solved and — more to the point — understood.
- Virtual or in person
- Recorded with your consent, so you can rewatch it
- Screen-share, hands on your own machine
- No commitment, no package required
Foundation
Set the ground properly before you build on it. This is the one that stops you breaking something you don't yet understand.
- Your own Cloudflare + GitHub, set up correctly and owned by you
- Domain, DNS and subdomains done right
- Separate dev and production, and somewhere safe for secrets
- Security baseline: headers, least-privilege access, auth patterns
- Claude Code installed and configured on your machine, with guardrails
- Two training sessions walking you through all of it
- A written runbook you keep
Build-Alongside
You build. We're beside you — reviewing what ships and catching the things that would have cost you a weekend or a breach.
- Scheduled working sessions every month
- Async access when you're stuck mid-build
- Architecture and security review before anything goes live
- Prompts and patterns curated for your stack
- Your repos watched by Sentinel and Neo
- Month to month — cancel any time, runs to the end of the paid period
Team Training
Several people, your curriculum. Scoped around what your team actually does.
- Curriculum built from your real systems
- Remote by default; on site in the Evansville area
- Recorded so new hires can catch up
- Follow-up sessions as the team hits real work
The first conversation is free and carries no obligation — if AI isn't actually your bottleneck, we'll say so. Want us to just build the thing instead? That's Anomalist Sites, from $250.
// What this looks like in practice
A 77-year-old HVAC business, building its own tools.
Foundation first: their own Cloudflare and GitHub, a domain separate from the one their marketing sits on, environments split, secrets handled properly, Claude Code set up on their machines. Then a standing monthly engagement — working sessions, security review on anything before it goes live, and their repositories watched by our own agents.
They're not buying software from us. They're building their own, and we're making sure they don't hurt themselves doing it.
This is for you if…
- You're willing to actually learn it, not just have it handed over
- You're paying for software or hours that you suspect you shouldn't be
- You want to own your systems rather than rent them
- You've got someone on the team who's curious and a bit technical
It isn't if…
- You want it built and never to think about it — that's Sites, and it's cheaper
- Nobody on the team has time to sit in the sessions
- You need it finished next week; learning is slower than delegating
- You're in a regulated corner we'd have to guess at — we'll tell you honestly
