Signals we reinforce in every cohort
Instead of a vague promise, we publish rubrics: naming, error envelopes, logging fields, and docs that survive the next hire. Teams from SaaS and internal tools use the same language afterward.
Documentation drills
OpenAPI lint rules, example tables, and changelog discipline you can steal.
Auth case studies
Rotation timelines drawn on wall clocks, not marketing jargon.
The flow — five beats, zero fairy dust
01 — Intake
You share repos or API specs; we map risks.
02 — Baseline lab
Short exercises expose logging and error gaps.
03 — Mentor pass
Written notes reference rubric rows, not vibes.
04 — Pair review
Peers read your docs aloud; awkward pauses welcome.
05 — Ship note
You publish a change log + deploy checklist.

From our cohorts — mixed formats on purpose
“Webhook verification week reproduced our clock skew warnings verbatim—finally a lab that matches production.”
“Short: docs rubric stuck.”
“Postgres isolation lab was humid and loud, which oddly helped me remember phantom reads better than any video.”
