Stop picking which class you can afford this month
Courses bought one at a time make you guess which problem you’ll have next. A membership means you already have it. You just go get it off the pile.
Ruby has one pile. She knows where everything is. Be the dragon. 🐉
You don’t need the Obsidian class on the day you buy it. You need it the afternoon you cannot find the note where you settled your villain’s backstory, and you know for a fact you wrote it down somewhere.
You don’t need the Claude Code class until the week you admit you owe your list a newsletter, and have owed them one since roughly spring.
That’s what a membership is for. Not volume. Having the thing when you need it.
Every course, unlocked
Every class in the Ink & Code Learning Portal, all of it, the moment you join.

No per-class checkout. No picking which one you can afford this month. No waiting for a sale on the one you actually need.
Over $1,600 of classes. $499 a year.
Six classes are live right now, with Advanced Cowork close behind. Bought one at a time, that’s over $1,600.
A membership is $499 a year, less than the cost of three classes, for all of them, plus everything that lands while you’re a member.
That’s about $41 a month, and it does not go up on you while you stay.
Because a hoard should come with somewhere to sit
A private Discord
Learn, share, and get unstuck at 11pm when the notes-swamp happens.
Founder’s Circle check-ins
Monthly. Casual accountability, where we say what we’re building out loud and then have to go build it.
Coffee and Code
Saturdays in season. Come as you are, bring your coffee.
First call on workshop seats
Whenever a new class runs live, members are asked first.
Early looks
Experiments, half-built systems, and the workflows that did not work, which are frankly the useful ones.
Everything on the Substack
All paid-subscriber benefits come with it: the deep dives, the Ginsu Drops, the full archive.
No tricks in the small print
Your membership unlocks the full catalogue while it’s active. Cancel any time and your library access ends with the membership. Any course you buy outright is yours for life, membership or not.
There is barely any small print.
Every class is me, on camera, on the actual screen
Mistakes left in where the mistakes teach something. Claudeykins and Fabio help me build. They do not get to do the teaching.
I built this school so that learning this stuff doesn’t require choosing between the class you need and the class you want. An Automated Author runs on systems, not on rationing.
