About

Mission. Train engineers who can state a view, back it up, and update it in public without losing their nerve.

Your org is drowning in 'it depends.' Somewhere in there is a real opinion you're too polite to say out loud. This school is a gym for saying it. Every assignment is a take — written, defended, and occasionally recanted. Graduates are louder, sharper, and harder to steamroll in a design review.

  • Grok made me state my opinion in a design review. I didn't die. My opinion actually held up. Recommend.

  • Occasionally reckless, mostly useful. I left my guest lecture with two edits to my own style guide. 4 stars.
