Description
Every software engineer has that project. The ambitious, slightly weird thing you've been meaning to build for years and never quite start. The Passion Project Bootcamp is six live sessions that get you to finally build it: carve out real time to go deep, ship alongside a small group of engineers doing the same, and turn the idea you keep putting off into something real. This is the founding cohort, and you're reserving your spot. Seats are limited, and the founding rate is locked in for the people who join now. After you reserve, you'll get a short survey to pick the cohort window that fits your schedule, and I'll set dates around the group. If no window works for you, full refund, no questions. You bring the spark. I bring the structure, the deadlines, and a room full of people who get it. Led live by Nathan Toups, ex-CTO and co-host of Book Overflow.
What you'll get from this package
A founding seat in the 6-session Passion Project Bootcamp, 60-minute live sessions
A small cohort window, ~20 people, kept intimate
Weekly build commitments with feedback
Demo day and a plan to keep going
Founding rate locked in, full refund if no cohort window fits your schedule
Additional details
Coaching delivered via live sessions and .
Reserving a founding seat locks in your $90 rate for all six live sessions, and it won't be offered at this level again. Dates aren't set yet: after you reserve, you'll get a short survey to share your availability and I'll place you in a window that fits, confirmed before anything starts. If none of the windows work for you, you get a full refund. You can also refund any time before your cohort's first session or move your seat to a later window; once your cohort begins, the seat is non refundable. And if I cancel, or your cohort hasn't started within six months of purchase, you get a full refund on request. Payment runs through Leland, so their terms apply too, and you can message me there with any questions.

Love Your Work Again | Work That Fits Your Life | Ex-CTO, Book Overflow
Chasing prestige won't make you happy. Going deep on work you care about, alongside people you love working with, will. Helping people grow has always been what I care about most: I've hired and mentored engineers, worked with interns, and coached people into promotions and new jobs. It's the same reason I co-host Book Overflow, reading a book a week and talking craft with people like Kernighan, Beck, and Fowler so more engineers can learn and thrive. Having been a Staff+ engineer and a CTO myself, I help you clarify the work that fits you, build the depth that makes you good at it, and take the next real step.
