Process

The flow, brushstroke by brushstroke

We publish this sequence so teams know when reviewer time happens versus async homework—no hidden gates.

  1. 01 — Application ink

    You share stack context and time zone constraints. Student support coordinators confirm schedule fit before invoices.

  2. 02 — Starter kit drip

    Repos unlock with guardrails documented upfront. Lead instructors host a live walkthrough emphasizing what is intentionally out of scope.

  3. 03 — Mentor rotations

    Technical mentors and reviewers swap halfway so you hear two critique voices. Constructive friction is encouraged.

  4. 04 — Portfolio varnish

    Final week is public narrative: Loom recordings, README polish, and a limitation statement you can show hiring managers.

Before / after ritual

Before

Templates copied from blog posts with no reviewer, opaque rollback steps, dashboards nobody trusts.

After

Named reviewers on PRs, runbooks tied to commits, cohort survey loops feeding the next syllabus draft.

Comparison is illustrative—your mileage depends on internal sponsors and maintenance budgets.
