Vibe coding is jazz with a keyboard — messy, raw, alive. And when you pair that energy with AI? You don’t just build apps… you build futures.
AI isn’t here to replace coders. It’s here to amplify them. To take a spark at 2 AM and turn it into something global by sunrise.
The kid in Delhi, the teacher in Chicago, the hacker in Paris — they’ll all have the same firepower as the Fortune 500. That’s not evolution. That’s revolution.
The future won’t belong to the cleanest code. It’ll belong to those who can improvise with machines.
🔥 DevLand Diaries is where broken systems get burned. Hosted by Michael Kessler, this unapologetic series drags the Department of Education, lights up bureaucracy, and builds the future of learning from the ground up—free, gamified, and permission-less. No fluff. No filters. Just fire.

In this episode of DevLand Diaries, Michael Kessler breaks down the essentials of a term sheet—the document that sets the foundation for your startup's investment deal. Whether you're an entrepreneur or an investor, understanding the key elements like valuation, equity, investor rights, and exit strategies is critical for ensuring a fair deal.

Post-money vs Pre-money Valuation: What Does It All Mean?
At DevLand Academy, we break down the complex world of startup finance into easy-to-understand lessons. When it comes to understanding a company's valuation, two important terms come into play: pre-money and post-money valuation.
Pre-money Valuation refers to the company's value before any new investments or funding are added. It's the baseline worth of the company, based on factors like intellectual property, market potential, and revenue projections.
Post-money Valuation is the company's value after the new investment is added. It includes the pre-money valuation plus the amount of new capital raised during a funding round.
Understanding these terms is crucial for both entrepreneurs and investors, as it helps in determining ownership percentages and understanding how much the company is worth after a funding round. At DevLand Academy, we make these concepts simple and accessible, guiding you through financial literacy in a way that’s fun and easy to grasp!
In this in-depth lecture, we explore the evolution of money, from its origins in barter systems to the rise of digital currencies like Bitcoin. We examine how money is much more than just a medium of exchange—it’s a tool that drives economies, shapes markets, and facilitates global trade. With a focus on free-market principles and individual choice, we’ll dive into key moments in history, such as the introduction of coins in Lydia, paper money in China, the rise of credit, and the potential future of cryptocurrencies.
This lecture builds on the ideas of Milton Friedman, emphasizing how government intervention can impact the efficiency and stability of economies, while discussing the risks and rewards that come with changes to monetary systems. Understanding the role of money is crucial for grasping the broader dynamics of global economics, and this session will provide you with the tools to think critically about how money shapes our world.
Ideal for those interested in economics, history, and the future of finance, this lecture will leave you with a clearer understanding of the powerful role money plays in both the past and present, and what its future might hold.

How will the modern software developers adapt to the changing AI landscape?
On this special episode of DevLand Diaries, we talk education with none other than U.S. Senator John Kennedy. Get ready to hear what some Americans think about the U.S. education system while big tech gets a free pass. Get ready for some more big names, children are bi-partisan. We're going to prove it!
A boy grows up labeled “hyperactive,” “distracted,” even “unteachable.” He never does his homework; he has no fancy tech degree. Fast-forward: That boy grows up to build a robotics company and an AI platform. That boy was me. I beat the odds because I found my passion in coding and robotics outside the classroom. Now, I’ve created DevLand Academy to give every misunderstood kid that same chance. The ones who were called disruptive might be the ones to disrupt industries.
In this fiery DevLand Diaries episode, host Michael Kessler dives headfirst into Donald Trump’s bombshell 245% tariff proposal on Chinese goods. Is it economic genius or geopolitical gaslighting? With Xi Jinping maintaining a poker face and the global tech supply chain hanging by a thread, Michael unpacks the absurdity, propaganda, and sinister game of economic chess unfolding beneath the surface. From shattered development pipelines to the rise of a digital Cold War, this episode reveals how nationalism, trade wars, and political theater are reshaping the rules of innovation. No punches pulled. No side taken. Just truth—served with sarcasm and static.
In this episode of DevLand Diaries, Michael Kessler dismantles the myth of passive machine learning and takes aim at the data gluttony of Big Tech. He introduces active learning—the rebellious cousin of traditional ML—where models stop waiting to be spoon-fed and start asking the right questions. This isn’t just about more innovative algorithms; it’s about democratizing AI, cutting costs, and flipping the power dynamic. If your machine isn’t curious, it’s obsolete. Welcome to the future of machine learning—leaner, meaner, and much smarter.
In this episode of DevLand Diaries, we pull back the curtain on a trend that's as old as the resume itself—but with a high-tech twist. Today, we're diving into how some savvy (and sometimes shady) professionals are using ChatGPT and other large language models to beef up their resumes, often bending the truth in the name of landing that dream job. We explore the clever (and not-so-innocent) tactics behind the digital resume embellishments, examine the trends fueling this AI-assisted resume renaissance, and scrutinize the mitigation strategies HR departments and tech recruiters are deploying to keep it real. Balancing a forward-thinking view with a good dose of traditional no-nonsense values, we'll tell it like it is: from nostalgia for hard-earned experience to the cutting-edge tools reshaping modern recruitment, nothing escapes our critical, witty, and sometimes eyebrow-raising take on resume fraud. Join us for a spirited, equally eye-opening and entertaining conversation, and learn how to separate genuine talent from digitally enhanced storytelling.
In this episode of DevLand Diaries, Michael Kessler breaks down one of the most critical skills of the AI age—prompt engineering—in a way anyone can understand.

You’ll learn how asking better questions leads to better answers, how to guide AI like a pro using simple techniques, and why this skill can supercharge your schoolwork, business, creativity, or make life much easier. Inspiring, practical, and no fluff—this is your call to step into the future confidently. But please proceed with CAUTION...
Forget what the leadership books told you—startups aren’t democracies. In this no-holds-barred episode of DevLand Diaries, Michael Kessler drops the hammer on power struggles, weak consensus culture, and ego-fueled sabotage. If you’re a founder trying to build fast and ship hard, this is your wake-up call: sometimes, a little dictatorship is the difference between dying in committee and dominating the market.
Before a humanoid robot ever walks among us, it learns in a world that doesn’t exist. In this episode of DevLand Diaries, we dive into the strange, powerful world of robot simulators—digital sandboxes where machines learn to walk, see, and think.
We explain why humanoid simulation is so brutally hard, which tools are shaping the future (like Isaac Sim, Gazebo, and MuJoCo), and what the “reality gap” means for robots entering our world.
No hype. No buzzwords. Just the raw truth behind the software teaching machines how to move—and maybe how to live.
Congress holds hearings. Tech CEOs testify. Cameras flash. But behind the spectacle lies a bitter truth: no one’s actually in charge. In this fiery kickoff episode, Michael Kessler dismantles the theater of accountability in Washington and exposes how power has quietly shifted from elected leaders to unelected billionaires.
From performative politics to Silicon Valley’s unchecked influence, this is a call to see through the smoke—and start building a future where freedom isn’t just a buzzword.
If oversight is an illusion, what does that make our democracy?
