“If you've wanted to get started with Claude and Cursor I'd recommend checking out ya boy Ray Fernando. The prompts are insane and you can copy them.”
Ship a real app in 3 weeks.
Auth. Payments. Database. Deployed.
A small-group cohort where you go from idea to live app; no getting stuck, no starting over.
You've tried the tools. Now let's actually ship.
You've watched tutorials. Maybe you've built something in Lovable or Bolt. It worked until it didn't; you hit a wall, couldn't scale it, couldn't take it somewhere else. Starting over sounds exhausting.
This cohort is for people who want to skip the frustration and build something real. Over 3 weeks, we'll go from your idea to a deployed app with authentication, payments, and a database. The stack is production-ready (Next.js, Clerk, Stripe, Convex on Vercel) and you'll actually understand what you built.
I've spent 12 years at Apple building products and the last two years exploring what's possible with AI-assisted development. I've watched hundreds of people try to ship apps. The ones who succeed aren't necessarily the most technical; they have someone to unblock them when they get stuck.
That's what this is.
3 Weeks. 6 Sessions. One Shipped App.
Each session is 60-90 minutes on Tuesday and Friday. Small group, live instruction, real Q&A.
Set up your stack and get your first deployment live. By the end of week 1, you'll have a working app on Vercel.
Add real users and real data. Clerk handles auth; Convex handles your database without the headaches.
Integrate Stripe and ship. By Friday, you'll have a deployed app that can actually make money.
By the end of this cohort, you'll have a deployed app with:
The framework behind some of the fastest sites on the web
Users can sign up, log in, and manage their accounts
Store and query data without wrestling with SQL or ORMs
Accept real money from real customers
Your app lives on the internet, not localhost
This isn't a toy project. It's the same stack I use for production apps.
Everything you need to ship your app.
No hidden requirements. No extra tools to buy. Just show up and build.
6 live sessions over 3 weeks. Tuesdays and Fridays, 60-90 minutes each. Recorded if you miss one.
A dedicated channel for your cohort batch. Ask questions, share progress, get unstuck between sessions.
Battle-tested code to skip the boilerplate. Auth, payments, and database pre-configured.
Async support throughout the 3 weeks. Post questions in Discord; get answers.
What people say about learning with Ray.
Man, These long coding sessions are always enjoyable!
Amazing stream! Thank you for the awesome session
omg this stream is so helpful! I am quite new to coding, made already some apps but really struggling with workflow and proper app management. you filled a ton of knowledge gaps for me. keep them coming and thanks!
Batch 1 kicks off in early February.

Ray Fernando — Let Me Cook 🔥
12 years at Apple. Worked on the Apple Watch since day one. Now I build with AI live on YouTube, showing the real process (bugs included).
I've watched hundreds of people try to ship apps with AI tools. Some succeed; most get stuck. The difference isn't talent or technical skill. It's having someone to unblock you when you hit a wall.
This cohort is that. Small group. Real project. Shipped by the end.
