Straight answers on the price, the urgency, and the free-alternatives question.

Hi there,

You're an engineer. You tell Gemini/Claude Code/Codex what you need and you run the code.

So let's do the objections honestly, before your rate lock closes on Sunday, July 26.

"Can't I just ask ChatGPT or Claude Code? A lot of this is free."

Partly true, and it's the most important question here, so it goes first.

The market is filling up with people who can prompt an LLM and paste back what it returns. That skill is now common, and common skills don't command a salary.

What a company actually pays for is the engineer who can tell when the model is confidently wrong, and fix it. CV code that looks right and quietly fails on your real data is the expensive kind of wrong, and an LLM will hand it to you with total confidence.

Knowing what the model doesn't is the thing that makes you hard to replace. A structured curriculum builds that judgment. Prompting never will.

So the membership isn't the raw information, which yes, exists in scattered pieces for free. It's the curriculum, the progression, the pre-built Colab environment, and the code that runs, so you become the person who evaluates the answer instead of the person who forwards it.

"Why is the price going up?"

The library grew: 120+ courses now, with a new one added every month for the last 5 years, 700+ tutorials, and centralized code for 500+ blog posts.

$345 was set against a smaller library; $495 reflects what's there today. Even at $495 that is 120+ courses for about $4 each.

Locking now means you keep the old rate for as long as you stay a member, while the content keeps compounding.

"Is this real urgency or a countdown gimmick?"

It's real, and here's the honest framing: what's going away is the $345 rate held for life.

After Sunday, July 26, new memberships start at $495.

If you lock now, your rate never rises while your membership stays active, no matter what promotions come and go later.

We're not asking you to beat a ticking clock for a discount. We're offering a rate you get to keep, and that offer ends.

"Subscription versus a one-time purchase?"

Fair preference, and here the subscription is the point of the lock.

We've added a new course every month, and your price stays fixed while you stay a member.

The value on your side grows while your rate doesn't move. That's the compounding a one-time purchase can't give you.

"I'm not in the US, and $495 is serious money where I live."

True. Exchange rates make this heavier in some countries than others, and we won't pretend otherwise.

That's also why the lock matters more, not less, the further your currency has to stretch. Locking at $345 doesn't make the number small. It makes it predictable: the rate you plan around today is the rate you pay every year you stay a member, and it never quietly climbs at renewal.

One honest note on content currency: a few of our older courses still reference library versions that have since moved on, and we tell you that up front rather than letting you find it mid-tutorial.

What you're locking is the platform, the growing library, and the core CV and deep learning skills that hold their value across framework versions.

If those answers land, the door is still open.

Lock your $345 lifetime rate before it's $495

P.S. The engineers who do well over the next few years will not be the ones who prompt an LLM fastest. They will be the ones who know when it is wrong. That judgment is the whole point of the curriculum.
