The votes are in for Cohort 3.

Congrats to Francis Lee ., the winner of the portable monitor from my Foundations of Claude Code workshop.

Francis spent 30 years in industrial packaging and lubrication components. He is not a software engineer. A few weeks ago he had barely touched a Terminal. This week he owns two live websites he built and shipped himself:

APACEdge, apacedge.asia. Helps packaging and automation firms across APAC cut overhead with practical AI.

Groundwork Solution, groundworksolution.com. 30 years of industrial know-how, now turned into AI workflows for manufacturers worldwide.

Custom domains, contact forms, mobile responsive, the works.

Well done too to Lynn Choa, Xue Xun, and Way Shen for their entries. See all the sites people voted on here:

Some asked why a website is the main thing we build, when there are flashier things to make with AI.

The short version: it is the most practical project you can take away and keep building on, instead of a throwaway. It doubles as your portfolio, your lead source, your digital CV, and your branding in an age of content noise. I wrote about why it anchors the workshop here:

The prize, a portable monitor, was a deliberate pick too.

A website is just the first thing you build. After that comes orchestration: several terminals open, each running its own agent, sometimes on the same project, sometimes across different ones, all at the same time. A second screen lets you keep the agent streaming on one side, and your plan, your browser, or your work on the other, instead of tabbing between them on one laptop. More screen, more agents you can supervise at once. And your job becomes supervising. The agents run the work, the expert still has to stay in the loop and catch them when they drift. I explained the full reasoning when I announced the earlier cohort winners:

If you are a business professional who wants to learn the foundation of building and shipping your own website, I run a Foundations of Claude Code workshop. The next two cohorts are on 2 July and 16 July.
