Process
The flow, brushstroke by brushstroke
We publish this sequence so teams know when reviewer time happens versus async homework—no hidden gates.
-
01 — Application ink
You share stack context and time zone constraints. Student support coordinators confirm schedule fit before invoices.
-
02 — Starter kit drip
Repos unlock with guardrails documented upfront. Lead instructors host a live walkthrough emphasizing what is intentionally out of scope.
-
03 — Mentor rotations
Technical mentors and reviewers swap halfway so you hear two critique voices. Constructive friction is encouraged.
-
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.
