Comparison Guide

Senior Systems vs.
Prompt Engineering.

Most AI courses teach you how to ask for code. We teach you how to build a production-grade system that ships features while you sleep.

Why "Prompting" is a dead end.

A prompt is just a request. If you don't know how to scope the work, manage the context, and review the output, the prompt will eventually fail you.

  • 1.AI hallucinates because it lacks context, not because your prompt wasn't "magical" enough.
  • 2.Large features fail because they weren't decomposed properly for the LLM's context window.
  • 3.Bugs ship because developers treat AI like an oracle instead of a junior dev.

"I've taken $500 AI courses that didn't teach me half of what's in Chapter 3 alone. The context control tips saved me 10 hours last week."

Common Questions

Free tutorials often focus on "cool prompts." We focus on the senior-level systems—task decomposition, context control, and review workflows—that allow you to build production-grade software, not just toy apps.

Prompt engineering is about the "how to talk to the AI." Build Fast With AI is about "how to lead the AI." We teach the judgment and engineering principles that make the prompts actually work in complex codebases.

Absolutely. Most developers use about 10% of these tools potential. We show you the advanced workflows like MCP servers, context management, and debugging loops that most people miss.
