A career roadmap sized to the years you have left.
Name the role you want. You get the units, the steps in the order they compound, three portfolio projects to build, and a list of what not to bother learning.
What a roadmap actually contains
Not a reading list. A sequence, with the reasoning left in.
Sized to your year
Second year gets twenty-six steps across seven units. Final year gets thirteen. The plan is cut to the time you have, not to a template.
Ordered so each unit earns the next
Nothing teaches you something you needed two steps ago. The order is the work, and it is the part a video playlist never does.
Where the path forks, you choose
FastAPI or Express or Go. Compare the same four questions across all three, pick one, and the rest of the roadmap follows the branch you took.
Where AI stands, step by step
What changed, what AI does for you now, what is still yours, what employers expect of it today, and where your edge is.
Three pieces for your portfolio
Briefs, not tutorials: the scenario, what is in and out of scope, where you will get stuck, and what has to be true before you call it done.
Progress that stays put
Steps, projects and the forks you chose live on your account, so the plan survives a new laptop and a two-month gap.
Every step is written, not linked
A step is a short guide with a job to do, in five parts.
- Understand the ideas
- The concepts this step rests on, each with why you need it rather than a definition.
- Make the calls
- The decisions you will actually face, with when to pick each one and what it costs you.
- Watch it done once
- One worked example, followed all the way through, ending in where that leaves you.
- Know where AI stands
- The honest read on what a model does for you here and what it cannot.
- Avoid what goes wrong
- The mistakes people make at this step, each with what to do instead.
- What you’re after
- One sentence you can check yourself against before calling the step done.
What it will not do
The useful half of trusting a plan is knowing where it stops.
It will not grade you, score you or rank you against anyone else.
It will not run your code — there is no execution environment, and pretending otherwise would be a promise it could never keep.
It will not host the learning: the resources are real, external, and open where they live.
It will not rewrite itself behind your back. The plan you were given is the plan, and the edits are yours.
It will not be finished in ninety seconds. Writing the whole curriculum takes around fifteen minutes.
