INDEPENDENT

Learn by building. Understand by breaking.

CTRL ALT PRESS teaches systems thinking for AI-augmented systems — failure modes, mechanical understanding, hard questions. No sponsors. No ads. No VC deciding what we can’t say.

If this work helped you see systems more clearly, you can help us keep doing it.
