What is faster.dev?

Practical AI-assisted development for engineers who still care about quality.

faster.dev is a training platform for software developers who want to ship more without turning their codebase into chaos.

You should use it if you want workflows that make AI useful in real projects, not just impressive demos.

You get structured video series, behind-the-scenes project logs, and downloadable slash commands, skills, and rules you can use right away.

Aaron Francis
About Your Instructor

Build faster with someone who has shipped for decades.

My name is Aaron Francis. I've been a professional software developer for over 20 years, served as both CTO and COO, and shipped dozens of products that made real money.

I created Database School and Screencasting.com, Solo, and Counselors, and built courses for Laracasts and PlanetScale. I'm an educator at heart.

Faster.dev is where I share the exact systems I use to ship high-quality software quickly with AI.

FAQ

  • When is this launching?

    We're live! You can sign up today and access all of the resources available with a membership. There's a few free resources if you want to check them out before signing up.

  • What makes you the AI expert?

    I'm a software engineer who's been building and shipping products for over two decades, and teaching developers for over a decade. I've mass-adopted AI tooling faster as fast as I can, not because I'm smarter, but because I have the time, the obsession, and the context to go deep. I test every new release, build real projects with these tools daily, and document what actually works.

    You're getting the filtered version: the setups, patterns, and workflows that survived contact with production code.

  • Can I use this stuff today?

    Yes! You can use this stuff today!

    The skills files and rules files are all downloadable. Copy them into your setup, tweak them for your stack, and start using them immediately. The videos show you how everything works together.

    I'm optimizing for you to get up to speed quickly. If you want to watch a bunch of videos, that's also great. But you should see improvements from day one.

  • What tools do you cover?

    Claude, Codex, Gemini, AMP, and V0.
  • Will moving faster mean lower quality?

    No, that's the whole point. The systems I share (tests, CI/CD, proper architecture) are what make speed sustainable. You move faster because you're not constantly fixing mistakes, rewriting code, or debugging production issues.
  • What if AI tools change tomorrow?

    They will, and you've dealt with this before. Remember when jQuery was everywhere? When we all learned React? When serverless was the new thing? You adapted then, you'll adapt now. The difference is your fundamentals transfer. I focus on principles that work across tools, and I update the specific implementations as things evolve.
  • How often is new content added?

    Regularly. Video series are released as I build them, project logs are updated as projects progress, and new resources are added as I develop them. Follow along as I ship.
