Learning
Theory, concepts and fundamentals. Understand the "why" before the "how".
๐จโ๐ณ You learn to cook by cooking
Imagine you want to become a chef. Before creating memorable dishes, you need to know your ingredients (their quality, how to prepare them), master your kitchen (where everything is, how it works), and choose the right tool (a chef's knife to chop, not a spoon).
Software development works the same way.
| ๐ถ Novice | ๐จโ๐ณ Chef | |
|---|---|---|
| Recipes | Follows to the letter | Understands why each step exists |
| Problems | Gets frustrated when something fails | Improvises and adapts |
| Tools | Uses whatever is available | Knows exactly which to choose |
| Result | Sometimes turns out well | Consistently excellent |
๐ก Our philosophy
We won't teach you to follow recipes. We'll teach you to think like a chef: understand your kitchen, master your tools, and create dishes you didn't know you could make.
In the upcoming missions, your kitchen will be ready. Then, let's cook. ๐ฅ
