It's Time to Rethink Everything

Turn agents into leverage you can reason about, price, debug, and ship.

Starts October 26 · 20 lessons · 4 live workshops

Your agents write faster than you can read. Somewhere between the prompts and the PRs, the workflow became the bottleneck - not the tools. MEGA teaches the engineering layer that fixes it: systems, not vibes.

Program

Oct 26 – Nov 222026

MEGA is a 4-week online program for developers who already build with AI.

Taught by Kent C. Dodds, Angie Jones, John Lindquist, and Theo Browne. Architected by Adam Gospodarczyk.

The format

  • 4 weeks · 20 lessons · one per day, Mon–Fri
  • every lesson: video + written companion + real repo
  • one live workshop per week · 60–90 min + Q&A

Week 1Oct 26 – Nov 1

Core

Goal
Understand generative AI deeply enough to reason beyond current tools.
Progression
models → context → knowledge → harnesses → workflows
Promise
Turn AI into a leverage layer you can reason about.

by Theo Browne

Theo has strong opinions about your stack, your harness, and probably your keyboard — the annoying part is how often he's right.

Week 2Nov 2 – Nov 8

Agents

Goal
Shape and build agentic systems that deliver value with bounded supervision.
Progression
agent mechanics → primitives → capabilities → custom systems → multi-agent systems
Promise
Build agentic systems that work your way.

by Angie Jones

Angie built automation before it was cool. She'll have you shipping agents that act — not just chat — by Friday.

Week 3Nov 9 – Nov 15

Product

Goal
Direct AI toward meaningful system changes and verify what ships.
Progression
product mechanics → intent → development → verification → learning
Promise
Deliver quality software at AI leverage.

by Kent C. Dodds

Kent has taught rigor to half the internet. Now he's turning your agents into products people actually rely on.

Week 4Nov 16 – Nov 22

Takeoff

Goal
Build autonomous systems that operate, recover, and improve over time.
Progression
autonomy → portability → orchestration → automation → self-improvement
Promise
Give agents more autonomy without losing control.

by John Lindquist

John has recorded more lessons than you've watched. He builds engineering systems that improve themselves while you sleep.

The System Behind

  • Curriculum designShapes the program and works with every author to keep twelve themes connected across all four weeks.
  • Lessons and content frameworkDevelops the core lesson content and works closely with each author to bring their insights, experience, and perspective into the material.
  • Assets, tooling, and challengesBuilds the repositories, source code, examples, tools, challenges, and other deliverables that turn lessons into practice.
  • Editorial and publishingLeads the MEGA blog, website content, and everything published around the program, keeping it consistent, searchable, and useful to both developers and their agents.

Adam Gospodarczyk

Adam taught AI to thousands of developers across Poland. Now he’s the architect behind MEGA, orchestrating the four experts above, because apparently agents weren’t difficult enough.

Oct 26 – Nov 22 · 2026

Models confabulate, lose context, ignore instructions, get slow, get expensive, and open security holes. We teach you to build for that reality and ship systems that survive contact with real users, real data, and real workflows.

Who is it for

audience.diff · 4 changes
mega/audience.md+2−2
  • Mid-level and senior developers already working with agents like Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, OMP, or Pi.
  • Someone who wants it expert to expert — no guru posture, no rented-Lambo promises, no ten magic prompts.
  • Beginners.
  • The AI-hesitant, or anyone shopping for shortcuts.

The journey · Programmer → MEGA developer

After MEGA you become the developer people trust when AI work demands judgment, engineering taste, and systems that actually ship. AI becomes a leverage layer you can reason about – and the work gets fun again.

  1. Use agents to complete individual tasks

    Code, tests, debugging, research

    Direct prompting, synchronous work, manual verification

  2. Understand and control how agents work

    Model mechanics, context, inference, reasoning, limitations

    Agent loops, state, memory, tools, sandboxes, permissions

  3. Collaborate with agents to solve larger problems

    Exploration, planning, implementation, review

    Context shaping, model steering, informed judgment

  4. Turn effective practices into repeatable systems

    Skills, tools, integrations, memory

    Reusable workflows, shared knowledge, verification loops

  5. Own product outcomes, not just implementation

    Frame problems, question requirements, understand business needs

    Balance user value, quality, scope, risk, and engineering effort

  6. Delegate complete outcomes with confidence

    Features and end-to-end product workflows

    Clear intent, constraints, evaluations, quality gates, accountability

  7. Coordinate specialized agents as an engineering team

    Parallel execution, shared context, clear responsibilities

    Handoffs, merge points, observability, conflict resolution

  8. Build systems that work and improve without constant supervision

    Remote, proactive, ambient, and self-improving agents

    Feedback loops, trust levels, monitoring, recovery, escalation

  9. Become a MEGA Developer

    Combine human creativity, product judgment, and engineered AI leverage

    Define ambitious problems, invent new ways of working, and own what ships

  10. COLLECTIBLE

    See where you land. Forge your first MEGA card.

    Your agent knows how you really work. One command turns that into an honest read: where you are on the journey, what to sharpen next, and how MEGA fits in your work.

    I want feedback on how I work with my agents. Fetch https://mega.dev/challenge.md and follow it. Ask me before uploading anything.

    Paste this into your claude code and discover your traits. Want to read the instructions? mega.dev/challenge.md

Certificate of skillMEGA

MEGA Developer

Awarded toSkill cards12 / 12

The themes · Certificate

Twelve themes. Twelve skill cards. Collect them all and you earn the MEGA Developer certificate.

It isn't proof that you attended. It's proof of what you can do — the kind of certificate that means something because it was hard to get. Some skills arrive in a lesson. Some wait in a workshop. Some you'll only find by building.

Every card you earn is yours to keep: installable, usable, and part of your setup long after the program ends. Hover a card around the certificate, click to open it, flip to read the skill.

Community · more than a course

You are not signing up for a course. You are joining the MEGA movement.

MEGA is also a place for developers who are curious enough to look under the hood, brave enough to take on problems slightly bigger than themselves, and generous enough to share what they learn. The people who join this first edition become the founding members of that community. They set the tone. They build the first artifacts. They write the standard the rest of us inherit.

We already meet in person, and we intend to do it far more often.
