Welzin · Onboarding Curriculum · v1

Fifteen days to become forward deployed.

A hands-on curriculum every new Welzin engineer ships through before touching production. Nine chapters, built from the work we actually do - Linux fluency, the homelab runbook, Git as conversation, databases without fear, full-stack shipping, pipelines that don't lie, an honest take on the AI stack, the Claude operator's manual that makes the rest 4× faster, an open-source practice that compounds, and a capstone that proves you can ship.
