What is a Hero?
An AI Coding Days Hero is an AI builder – whether AI coder, vibe coder or product manager – who uses tools such as Claude Code, Cursor or comparable AI coding agents to ship a real product or tool built natively with AI – and then tells that story in the AI Coding Days blog. No handwritten code and no software from before the AI era. The AI Coding Days - Hero series focuses on practical journeys: problem, stack, live release. No sales pitches – knowledge and peer learning.
Who can apply?
The Hero interviews are open to all AI builders – not only AI coders, but also vibe coders and product managers. The boundaries blur: everyone is welcome and appears in the Hero section. What matters is a publicly visible result. We review every application personally and approve it manually – more important than title or reach is that it fits. Review typically takes a few hours, sometimes 1–2 days.
Built AI First
The product is AI First: Claude Code, Cursor or a comparable agent was central to the build. No handwritten code and no legacy software from before the AI era.
Share the knowledge
You are ready to share the journey in an interview and blog: decisions, stack, hurdles – without a pitch.
