The school
Architecture you can take to stand-up.
Short lessons. No slide decks. Each one leaves a fragment of spec or a test you can pour the same day.
- PISS28 min
Writing the platonic spec
How to write a specification a stranger could implement — and you could replay.

- POUR24 min
Observability in the spec
Decide, before you build, what a careful person should be able to reconstruct.
- POUR20 min
Universal pours
Make “works on my machine” an ungrammatical sentence.
- POUR26 min
Replay as a way of telling the truth
History is not a performance detail. History is how you know the system.

The POUR review
A working session: score a system, name the holes, write the next invariant.
