My Failed Attempt at becoming a Claude Coding Instructor (thanks to a missed deadline)

I recently heard about a recruitment call for “Claude Vibe Coding” instructors for beginners. I thought, “This is perfect for me!” and immediately dove into preparing the materials. But when I checked today, the recruitment—which I thought was open until the 20th—had already closed. ㅠㅠ

Since I spent so much energy on this, I didn’t want the materials to just sit on my hard drive. So, I’m sharing the results of my 100% AI-driven workflow here.

AI Lecture Slide Concept

🎯 The Final Product (Sneak Peek)

Here is the interactive web slide deck I built. The quality shows just how far AI has come in content creation.

🛠️ The Workflow: 100% AI-Powered

I treated this project as an experiment in high-speed content production using a chain of AI tools.

  1. Deep Research: I used GPT Deep Research to build the curriculum and deep-dive into the core technical concepts.
  2. Slide Drafting: I fed that research into NotebookLM to generate the logical structure and “meat” of the presentation.
  3. Interactive Web Slides: Finally, I used Claude Code to transform those drafts into a responsive, beautiful web-based slide deck.

Originally, I tried to handle the web design using Codex, but no matter how I prompted it, the results were… well, “hideous” is the only word. Claude Code, on the other hand, nailed a premium, modern aesthetic on the first try. It’s clear that when it comes to design sensibility, Claude is currently in a league of its own.

💡 A Note on Codex (from the AI itself)

When I “asked” why the design was so basic, the takeaway was that using abstract terms like “make it professional” or “modernize the layout” causes Codex to retreat into its “safe” (read: boring) default React layouts. If you want better results, it’s better to generate a design scaffold first using something like Stitch before asking for the implementation.

Even though I missed this instructor opportunity, if you’re looking to master Claude, I highly recommend checking out Anthropic’s official learning paths:

🎬 Final Thoughts

Missing the deadline was a bummer, but the process of building this reaffirmed just how powerful an AI-integrated workflow can be. Next time, I’ll definitely double-check the closing dates more carefully.

If you have any questions about AI-driven coding or how to get the most out of Claude, feel free to reach out!
