Vibe Coding Club

Before session 01

Twenty minutes at home, so we never lose the hour.

The fastest way to kill a club like this is to spend the first two sessions installing things. Do these seven steps before you come. If one of them fights back, come ten minutes early and we fix it together.

  1. 01

    Create a Claude account

    Go to claude.ai and sign up. This is the agent you will be working with for twelve weeks.

  2. 02

    Install Claude Code

    It is the version of Claude that lives in your terminal and can actually edit files. Follow the official installer for your operating system, then check it answers.

    claude --version

    Expected: A version number. If the command is not found, the install did not finish.

  3. 03

    Install Node.js

    Download the LTS version from nodejs.org. This is what runs the websites you will build, on your own machine.

    node -v

    Expected: Something starting with v20 or higher.

  4. 04

    Create a GitHub account

    Pick a username you would be happy to show a recruiter, because it becomes a public part of your portfolio. Avoid nicknames you will regret.

  5. 05

    Create a Cloudflare account

    This is where your sites will be hosted, for free, on real public URLs.

  6. 06

    Install VS Code

    The editor. You will not type much code in it, but you need to see what the agent is doing.

  7. 07

    Make one folder

    Everything you build in this club lives here. One folder, so nothing gets lost.

    mkdir -p ~/albert-vibecoding

If you get stuck

Do not spend an evening on it. Post the exact error text in the club group, and someone answers. An error message pasted in full gets fixed in two minutes. The words “it does not work” get fixed in twenty.
