New Society is built on a premise I actually agree with. Coding agents have genuinely changed who can build software. Someone with no development background and reasonable persistence can now produce a working application, and that was not true a couple of years ago. Teaching that skill properly is a real and useful thing to do, and very few people are doing it well, because developers tend to teach developers and the people who most need this are not developers.
Ondrej is aiming at exactly that gap, and the community is organised around it. The module library is large, over a hundred and fifty pieces, covering the arc from idea to shipped product using AI tools throughout. There is a named agent course, there is technical support, and the community responds when people are stuck, which for a non developer trying to work out why a deployment failed is worth something concrete. He also builds and ships himself rather than only teaching, and I always weight that.
So why only a 3.0. Because of what surrounds it. The marketing leans on revenue figures, a company built to a specific ARR using only AI coding tools, and the promise of getting members to their own monthly recurring revenue targets. Independent reviews looking for verifiable member outcomes have not found much, and testimonials in this category tend towards enthusiasm about the content rather than evidence of results.
That is the pattern across almost everything in this genre and it is why I discount these claims heavily by default. The skill is real. The business outcome attached to it in the marketing is speculative. The content churn problem is severe here, more so than in most categories.
This material is about specific AI coding tools, and those tools change monthly. Models get replaced, interfaces get rebuilt, capabilities appear that make an entire earlier module unnecessary. A library of a hundred and fifty videos in this domain necessarily contains a substantial amount of material describing a world that no longer exists. Any community teaching this has the problem and the honest response is to expect a proportion of what you are paying for to be historical.
The gap that concerns me most is the fundamentals. Building a working application with a coding agent is achievable. Building one that handles other people's data safely, that has tests, that does not fall over under load, that you can debug when the agent's output is subtly wrong, is a different matter, and this is where non developers shipping products get into genuine trouble. Security in particular is not something you can vibe your way through, and the consequences land on your users rather than on you.
Programmes teaching non developers to ship software have an obligation to cover this seriously and most of them, including this one, do not. Pricing has been reported at different levels at different times, which is a small thing that bothers me disproportionately. Knowing what something costs should not require research. And as with every creator community, this one is its founder.
The content, the tone and the reason people stay are all Ondrej, and that is a concentrated risk to what you are buying. My 3.0 is a middling score for something that teaches a real and current skill inside a package I do not fully trust. The monthly price is not outrageous by the standards of this category. The premise is sound.
The income framing, the churn and the missing fundamentals are what keep it where it is. If you join, join to learn to build, ignore the revenue talk entirely, and go and learn the software basics separately before you put anything in front of real users.
