Format

Every lesson follows the same shape.

The outcome in one sentence. If that's already clear to you, skip the lesson.

2. Why it matters

The problem this solves — so when you hit the problem, you remember the fix.

3. Walkthrough

Real terminal output, real screenshots, real copy-pastable commands. No pseudocode.

4. Gotchas

The mistakes we saw beta users make. Read these before you spend 20 minutes debugging.
