What Happened to the Bootcamp, Why AI Changed Everything, and What's Next

It's been over a year since my last episode, and I owe you an update. In this episode, I get real about what happened with the Coders Campus coding bootcamp — why we had to shut down new admissions, and what led to that decision.

But it's not all bad news. I also share what I've been doing since then: going all-in on AI-powered software development, landing the highest-paying contract of my entire career, and building 15+ applications in about 12 months — including a platform that generated nearly half a million dollars in revenue.

I break down exactly how I'm building software today using Claude Code and Codex, why your opinion about AI-generated code might be wrong if you haven't used these tools, and why I believe the role of a software developer has fundamentally changed.

Topics covered:

• Why the Coders Campus bootcamp shut down
• How AI transformed my development workflow
• The WinningAds platform: one developer, half a million in sales, 99.99% uptime
• Claude Code vs ChatGPT: why they're not the same thing
• Why software developers are now project managers, product owners, and QA engineers
• The apps I've built: TimeTrackr, CaptureOS, a family management app, a fitness tracker, and more
• What's next for the Coders Campus brand
• Why learning AI is the safest career bet right now
