About

Mission. Build a weekly habit of shipping small, useful things. Boring consistency beats heroic sprints.

The best builders aren't the most talented — they're the ones who finish things. This school forces a weekly cadence of shipping: a tool, a demo, a side project, a workflow. No epics. No perfection. Just the reps.
