Development Diary: What to Expect

One of the biggest challenges in building a complex, ambitious course like this is keeping early-access students informed and engaged while the foundation is still shifting beneath our feet. The nature of iterative development means I often explore a direction, test it, and then decide to pivot, or scrap it entirely. That makes it difficult to immediately produce polished, “final” lessons.

To solve this, I’m introducing a Development Diary: a behind-the-scenes, work-in-progress feed of lessons that reflect where I am in the build process each week. You can expect between 1 to 3 lessons per week, depending on what stage I’m in. These will be rougher and more fluid than the final material, but they’ll give you real insight into the evolving structure of the course and allow early access students to stay in sync with my thinking.

Over time, as I refine the ideas and workflows, these dev-diary entries will be formalized into official, high-production-value lessons. This approach lets you benefit from the momentum of live development while ensuring the final product is clean, coherent, and well-tested.

Think of this as a collaborative journey. Your feedback may even influence what stays, what gets reworked, and what gets cut.
