ENGINEERING
Bash and the command line
Foundations first: what a shell actually is, how processes and file descriptors work, and the expansion rules that explain nearly every bash surprise.

Linux, from the server up
Everything that happens before your app serves a single byte — what each piece of the machinery is for, then the commands that drive it.

Layout, from the box out
The browser decides where every box goes by rules you were never shown — learn them from the box out, until you can predict any layout and build a nav or a menu without fighting it.

Interaction, from the event out
The browser runs your code, measures the page and repaints on a loop you don't control — learn that loop, its rulers and its pointers, until you can build a pannable, zoomable canvas the way React Flow does.

The machine under your API
Everything between a browser and your database, taught as one machine — the socket, the event loop, the proxy, the pool, the query planner and the cache, and why each layer had to exist.

Python, from the object up
The language you already write, seen from the object up: the data model, scope and imports, descriptors, generators and async, the GIL, and a type system taught in earnest.

JavaScript, from the host up
The language you already write, seen whole: the values, prototypes, closures and async primitives the spec defines; the event loop, I/O, modules and rendering a host adds; and the V8 engine beneath both Node and the browser.

TypeScript, from the type up
The language you already write, seen from the type up: two languages in one syntax, erasure and the runtime boundary, structural typing and narrowing, generics and variance, conditional and mapped types, and the utility types read as source.

INTERVIEW PREP
Algorithms
Every core algorithm built and measured from scratch in Python — recursion, sorting, graphs, dynamic programming — and how to read a new problem for the pattern it wants.
3 Sep 2026
Data structures
Every core data structure built and priced from scratch in Python — and the decision table that tells you which one a problem actually wants.
3 Sep 2026
Systems design
Every layer of a real system — storage, replication, consistency, caching, failure — measured from scratch against a live Postgres and Redis, and how to read a design problem for the force it turns on.

MATHEMATICS
Numbers and algebra, from the ground up
Counting, fractions, powers and the whole of school algebra — every rule earned before it's stated, with a picture for each one.
28 Aug 2026
Shape and change, from triangles to calculus
Geometry, functions, growth, trigonometry, chance and the edge of calculus — the shape behind each idea, drawn before the formula.

AI
AI agents for web apps
Build the agent loop by hand, then with a framework, then wire it into a real web app — seeing exactly what each layer of abstraction does for you, and when a protocol like MCP earns its place.
29 Aug 2026
Evaluating AI agents
Whether a change to your agent actually helped is a statistical question — traces, assertions, the sample sizes that make a pass rate mean something, and judging with a model you have validated.

THEOLOGY
The end has already begun
What the Bible says about the last things — from the prophets' day of the LORD to Revelation's New Jerusalem — and a fair map of where Christians disagree.
