Overview
AI can write the code. This course is about owning what ships.
AI Fluency for Builders is a three-hour Academy course, built with CodePath, for engineers, product people and makers. It applies the four Ds to building, from acceptance tests before code to deciding whether to ship, fix or stop. Anthropic recommends AI Fluency: Framework and Foundations first, and the badge comes from the final course quiz.

Course outline
From a customer problem
From a customer problem
to a decision to ship, fix or stop.
We design this course ourselves. Anthropic issues the credential, and LUNARTECH is independent of Anthropic.
The four Ds apply to makers differently than to office workers. You see how Delegation, Description, Discernment and Diligence map onto the stages of building a product.
- The four Ds, revisited
- Where each D shows up when building
- The builder’s role with AI
- Common builder mistakes
- Setting up your practice project
You build A map of your own build process, with each of the four Ds placed on it.
Builders need an honest view of current limits. You see where AI performs well on building tasks and where it fails again and again, so that you plan around both.
- Strong tasks for AI in building
- Repeating failure patterns
- Hallucination in code and specs
- Context and consistency limits
- Planning around known weaknesses
You build A short capability map for your toolkit, listing safe and risky uses.
A customer problem has many parts. You break it down across your tools, decide what role AI plays in each part, and keep the human decisions that should not be handed over.
- Breaking a customer problem into parts
- Matching parts to tools
- Deciding AI’s role per part
- Keeping key decisions human
- Writing the delegation plan
You build A delegation plan for a real customer problem, with AI’s role in each part.
If you cannot say what done means, AI cannot hit it. You write acceptance tests before any code is written, so that every later result has something to be judged against.
- Why done must come first
- Writing acceptance tests from a user need
- Testing behavior, not implementation
- Edge cases and failure cases
- Using tests to judge AI output
You build A set of acceptance tests for a feature, written before any code exists.
Vague needs produce vague code. You turn a user need into precise instructions with the Description Chain, so that AI works from the same picture you hold.
- From user need to requirement
- The links of the Description Chain
- Describing constraints and context
- Describing product, process and performance
- Testing a description with AI
You build A Description Chain for one feature, from user need to final instruction.
You assess AI work through five lenses: accuracy, craft, suitability, user experience and responsibility. Then you take ownership of the decision to ship it, fix it or stop.
- Accuracy review of generated code
- Craft and maintainability
- Suitability and user experience review
- Responsibility: risks and consequences
- Giving concrete critique of a design
- Deciding to ship, fix or stop
You build A written ship, fix or stop review of AI-built work, using all five lenses.

Reviews
Real stories from the community.
LUNARTECH Academy has been the most empowering learning experience of my life, giving me a clear, structured path from the absolute basics to building real-world AI systems with confidence.
Your page is fantastic. As a bachelor’s student in Data Science now accepted for a master’s at UConn, your work has been a real source of motivation.
The programme’s clear, bite-sized content and practical projects dramatically improved my speed from fuzzy idea to MVP and my ability to communicate AI value. I followed the system, and it works.
I really appreciate your teaching style and the way you break down complex topics. It has been incredibly helpful.
After years working mainly with R for econometrics, I found your Python machine learning course a refreshing and engaging way to learn Python.
As a Data Science graduate, I want to thank you for the effort you put into making videos to support growing data scientists.
I’ve been following your work since taking your machine learning course, and I’m impressed by your practical approach to applying AI.
