Five free guides on getting competent fast, in anything.
A year and a half ago I couldn't open a terminal. Since then I've shipped production software with no formal background in any of it. These five guides are the actual method, not a highlight reel: the 48-hour framework, the model behind it, what honestly doesn't transfer, a builder's toolkit, and a playbook for leaders trying to build a team that learns as fast.
The First 48 Hours
Checklist
The actual step-by-step for entering any unfamiliar domain, hour by hour, without pretending you already know it.
Competence Compression
One-pager
The model behind the method: why learning velocity beats domain expertise now, and exactly where it breaks if you rush it.
What Didn't Transfer
Honest guide
The other half of every pivot story. What actually breaks when an old operating method meets a genuinely new domain.
Self-Taught Builder's Toolkit
Practical guide
The real split between breaking things, reading docs, and asking people, and the one discipline that keeps AI-assisted work honest.
The Fail-Fast Playbook
For leaders
For managers, not builders. What it actually takes to give a team real permission to fail on purpose, and build people who learn fast.
