Essays
Long-form pieces by mentors and builders. Practice essays, opinion pieces, and the kind of writing that takes a position and defends it across a few thousand words.
Reflections
Shorter, more personal writing. Post-cohort reflections, post-shipping reflections, and notes on what changed in the writer's understanding of their own practice.
Lessons
What did not work, and what we learned from it. Public retrospectives on past Builds, projects, and decisions. The hard-earned kind of knowledge.
Reading List
Books, articles, papers, and talks worth your time. Curated by mentors with a short note on why each one is worth the hours it asks for.
