Technical Enough

15 minutes a day for 21 days

Become technical enough to build real products with AI.

Created by Shivali and Girish Manghani

Every AI course begins with prompts and makes assumptions about where you stand with building software products. This course is free, un-gated and helps you build knowledge, vocabulary and a mental model that AI tools presume you already have. No code, fifteen minutes a day, three weeks.

21 days, 15 minutes per day, one Build Plan at the end.

Why this exists

The missing layer.

The surface layers on top are what every AI course teaches. The seven blue layers underneath are the foundation every AI course assumes you already know. This course is the divider band between them, and the map of what's down there.

The Missing LayerA layered stack diagram. Three light surface layers at top (Outputs, Prompts, AI Tools) represent what every AI course teaches. An amber band labeled "The Missing Layer" divides surface from foundation. Seven deep navy layers below (Frontend, Backend, APIs, Data, Hosting, Auth, Monitoring) represent the Builder's Stack, the foundation every AI course assumes you already know.The Missing LayerWhat every AI course assumed you already knewOutputs & Deliverablesthe things AI produces for youPrompts & Templatesthe recipes you copy and tweakAI ToolsClaude, ChatGPT, Cursor, CopilotTHE MISSING LAYERwhere most smart people get stuck, and where this course startsFrontendUI & UX, what users see and touchBackendwhere the work actually happensAPIshow systems talk to each otherDatawhere information lives, how it's structuredHostinglocal vs remote · serverless vs VMAuthwho you are vs what you can doMonitoring & Operationshow you know it broke · how to ship safelyunderneath all of it: environments · version control · guardrails · legal & complianceTechnical Enough, a course by Shivali & Girish Manghani21 days.
