000: Start here

You are in a terminal. If that sentence is boring, close the tab; if it is not, the rest of this is for you.

The one skill everything else depends on

Learning to read what a machine tells you instead of what you wished it said. Every lesson after this is applied versions of that.

Order

1. 000: this page. You are here.
2. 001: reading output without lying to yourself
3. The file is the truth
4. Then we start breaking things we own

Marking where you are

Every lesson has a button at the top of it. One click marks the lesson finished, and the mark lives on your account, so the next visit starts where this one stopped instead of at the beginning.

The mark is a bookmark, not a key. Nothing here is locked behind it and every lesson reads exactly the same signed out. An account buys the remembering, and that is the whole list.

Zero to dangerous is a route, not a promise. The route is on this machine.
