CODE FOR CREATIVES x SUBLIME Friday, August 14, 2026 wow! that was amazing. thank you everyone who attended, and thank you Sari and Gabe and the whole tribe at Sublime for hosting me. and most of all, thank you to that worm who so fortuitously fell from the ceiling in what can only be understood as a sign from god of all the good that is to come. also a reminder that there really is no song better than born a worm. - alex
everything from the session is on this desktop. double click the icons. on a phone, just scroll.
The whole thing, start to finish. An hour and forty-five.
Recording, transcript and chat in one place
Open it on Zoom
Passcode: r?gmd62%
Sessions are recorded and the recordings do not expire. That goes for the cohort too.
Everything on this list was built with Claude Code. All of it opens in your browser. Nothing to install.
Six weeks. It is half therapy, half bootcamp, half math class, half acid trip.
THE EARLY BIRD GETS THE WORM
20% off because you were there. $1,500 becomes $1,200.
Your code is EARLYBIRDSRISEUP
You have to type it in at checkout. It is not applied for you, and without it you get charged the full $1,500.
Starts late September 2026. Applications are read on a rolling basis and Alex reads all of them himself because he's a big boy.

One live weekly lesson, with multiple sessions covering the same material so everyone can find a time that works. Plus weekly office hours, plus a Slack channel that stays busy between sessions.
New this round: a full week on taste, run with Sublime.
At the start you pick something you want to build by the end. That can and often will change. At the end we do a show and tell where you share what you made.
Code for Creatives is a six week cohort. It is half therapy, half bootcamp, half math class, half acid trip.
You already know more than you think. C4C just helps you see that.
$1,500 for the full six weeks. Apply now.
No. Claude writes the code. You describe what you want. The hard part is knowing what you want and being able to say it clearly, which is a creative skill, not a technical one.
Classic hacker response. Real hackers never think they're hackers. Also, no - you can run Claude Code entirely from the Claude desktop app if the terminal is not your thing.

At the start you'll pick something you want to build by the end (this can and often will change). Then, at the end, we'll do a show+tell where you share what you've made.
There's no such thing. The race is long and only with yourself. You're exactly where you need to be.
Also sessions are recorded and the recordings do not expire.
Also the learning happens when you're able to receive it. No rush, no foul.
A Mac or a PC made in roughly the last five years, and a Claude subscription. That is it. You do not need a powerful machine because none of the work happens on it. We walk through the whole setup live in week one, and there is a written guide if you want to do it early.
Yes you can and guess what? It's free. A lot of students end up retaking it because this stuff all changes so fast. Spots for retakers are limited.
Sublime is a tool for collecting and connecting the things you read and save, built by people who care a lot about taste. They are partnering on Cohort Four, and they are running the week on taste with us. If you came here from Sublime, this is the same cohort, not a different one.
Baddies.
Meanies.
The tools will change. That is guaranteed. What transfers is describing what you want clearly, iterating with a machine that gets things wrong, and building systems that solve your specific problem instead of a generic one. Claude Code today, something else in two years, same job.
Late September 2026. It runs six weeks from there.
Fill out the application at codeforcreatives.com/sublime/apply. It is short. Applications are read on a rolling basis and Alex reads all of them himself because he's a big boy.
Asked more than any other question. Apply at codeforcreatives.com/sublime/apply. Cohort 4 starts late September, and your code is in the Cohort 4 window.
The most-asked technical question, in about five different forms: how the markdown files are structured, whether you can hand them to someone else and have their agent reproduce it, and how to organize them as they pile up. Too big for a FAQ answer. It is a whole session inside the cohort.
Just Claude Code in the terminal, then deploy. No editor in the middle. The site you are reading was built and shipped the same way.
Asked several times, including specifically for absurd side projects rather than client work. Covered properly in the cohort, because the honest answer depends on how much you run at once.
Asked from Venezuela, and the room answered it faster than the stage did: OpenRouter gives access to hundreds of models, and Zo.computer came up too.
A real thread in the chat, with people confessing they cannot help it. Somebody shared an essay on model welfare in response.
Branches, separate sessions, or one long chat. Asked about testing several versions of the same tool at once.
Asked by people doing client work who want one agent that knows everything, without that agent knowing everything about every client at once. A fair worry and not a solved one.
Somebody described memory sometimes helping and sometimes making Claude bring up irrelevant things to prove it remembered. Both are true, which is roughly the answer.
Asked by people whose setup is tied to their own files, accounts, and folders. Different job, and a good one to bring to a cohort session.
Asked about the blog posts on the Code for Creatives site. Yes. Letting it rip with its own text is how you get writing nobody wants to read.
Asked twice. GitHub came up on the call, and the links window has what people shared with each other in the chat.
