Tags
Tags mark verified curriculum states: phase-0-start, phase-0-done, phase-1-start, phase-1-done.
Project proof
The website teaches. The repo proves.
The MVP keeps grading local: run the commands, commit the artifact, and mark the quest complete. Later, GitHub verification can check tags, workflow status, and required files.
Learner flow
git clone https://github.com/imdmp/palabas-api.git
cd palabas-api
git checkout phase-1-start
git switch -c my-phase-1
./gradlew testTests
Each quest names a specific command. Boss fights run the broader suite and collect transcripts.
ADRs and notes
Decisions live in docs: ADR-001, schema-notes.md, time-notes.md, oracle-notes.md, and INTERVIEW.md.
Transcripts
Curl, SQL logs, EXPLAIN, and observability traces become proof artifacts that articles can cite.
Later platform features
Only after the content loop works.
- GitHub OAuth for server-side progress.
- Repo verification for tags, workflow status, and required files.
- Interview recall prompts generated from completed lessons.
- Hosted grading only after sandboxing and resource limits are designed.
