Outcomes
What this course is for, and how it should be judged once there is anything to judge.
We have no outcomes to show you yet
Nobody has finished this course, because it has not opened. That means there are no graduates, no offer numbers, no salary averages and no five-star quotes — and every one of those would be trivial to fabricate.
So this page holds the targets instead: what the course is for, and how we intend to be measured. If you are reading this a year from now and it still lists targets rather than results, that is itself a result, and you should weigh it accordingly.
The four targets
Across 8 tracks and 6 worked systems, these are what the material is trying to produce.
Scope an unfamiliar system in eight minutes
Measured by whether the requirements you write down are the ones that change the design, not the ones that are easy to ask about.
Draw something you can defend
Measured by whether you can say why each component is there, and what you would lose by removing it.
Survive the deep dive
Measured by whether a challenged decision produces an argument or a retreat. Changing your mind is allowed; not having a reason is not.
An offer at the level you were aiming for
The only one that matters, and the only one we cannot claim anything about yet.
