Design Engineer

I craft full-stack learning platforms that don't suck. Used by Apple, Netflix, and thousands of devs.

About me

I'm Vojta Holik, co-founder of badass.dev and the design engineer behind some of the most successful developer courses on the internet.

Since 2018, I've been building custom course platforms with Joel Hooks (egghead.io) using our own CMS, Course Builder.

I've helped creators like Kent C. Dodds and Matt Pocock teach millions with fast, opinionated platforms used by teams at Apple, EA, Netflix, and more.

AI Coding Dictionarywith Matt Pocock

Matt wrote a plain-English dictionary of the words people throw around when they talk about AI coding. I designed and built the site for it, a 3D graph of 71 terms with 543 links between them. Click a term and the camera flies to it. Search, and everything that doesn't match fades out.

good-css.comopen-source agent skill

Coding agents know :has(), subgrid and anchor positioning. They rarely reach for them. I built good-css so they do. It packs 47 modern CSS techniques into an agent skill, and the site runs every one of them as a live specimen.

Stick'em Upstickers.badass.dev

A clean laptop is a sad laptop. So I built a page where you stick Badass stickers on the lid of a 3D MacBook. I made the stickers too, with a tool I built for it. The music is made right in your browser and builds with every sticker. It's fun and you should try it.
