faster.dev1 update
An AI-native learning platform for developers who want to ship faster. Follow along with real projects, stay current with the cutting edge, and learn how to leverage AI to build better software.
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.
Structured courses that take you from concept to mastery.
A beginner's guide to getting started with Claude Code. Everything you need to know to go from zero to productive.
Set up any project for AI-assisted development with a single command. Write framework rules and establish guardrails that keep AI output consistent and correct.
Master Claude Code's skill system. Learn to discover built-in skills, write your own custom commands, and chain them together for powerful automated workflows.
Audit your entire codebase, specific modules, or recent changes to search for bad state management, boolean explosions, and other code smells.
Quick wins and hidden gems. Bite-sized tips to level up your Claude Code workflow—keyboard shortcuts, prompt patterns, and tricks the docs don't tell you.
Extend Claude's reach. Build MCP servers that connect Claude to databases, APIs, file systems, and any external service—turning it into a true development partner.
The foundation of effective AI development. Write CLAUDE.md files that actually help, craft prompts that get results, manage context windows, and know when to start fresh versus continue.
Get up to speed with Amp Code, Sourcegraph's AI coding assistant. Learn the interface, effective prompting, codebase context, and how it compares to other AI coding tools.

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.
Follow behind the scenes as I build real products, with real users and real revenue.
An AI-native learning platform for developers who want to ship faster. Follow along with real projects, stay current with the cutting edge, and learn how to leverage AI to build better software.
An all-in-one desktop app for managing your local dev stack. Launch all your processes like npm, composer, queues, and servers in one place instead of scattered terminal tabs. Supports multiple projects with clean, organized output.
A desktop app for installing and managing AI coding tool integrations, registries, and MCP configuration from one place.
Slash commands and workflows to accelerate your work.
Auto-detect test framework, run suite, diagnose failures, fix them, re-run until green.
Commit, push, create PR, monitor CI, fix failures, request CodeRabbit review.
Fetch GitHub issue, create branch, write failing tests, implement fix, create PR.
Screenshot two URLs, generate ImageMagick diff, fix visual discrepancies.
Parallel audit for dead code, missing tests, weak types, abstraction opportunities.
Remove false starts, consolidate working code, run tests to verify clean state.
and dozens more
Auto-detect your stack (Laravel, Rails, TanStack, React, Vue, Tailwind, Tari, etc.) and set up framework-specific guidelines.
50+ framework inits: React, Vue, Laravel, Filament, Tauri, Go CLI, Swift, and more. And the process to create your own.
You already know how to build software. This is the setup, the systems, and the workflows that let you do it faster with AI.
Try it for 30 days. If it doesn't change how you work, get a full refund.

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.
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.
