One more note from a process standpoint. I built the outline of all the activities I wanted to see. Claude put it into a set of slides, and Jen Spark turned it into this presentation. So let's talk about the setup. This is not a course in the sense that one thing builds upon another. It's 10 different projects, imagined for a weekend, although, of course, you can do it whenever you want, that are practical by default, forcing outputs, not theory, that are highly completable where each project end with something real, completely modular as in you can skip or do them in any order without derailing anything. Although they are also compounding in the sense that if you do do them in sequence, some of …
