learn

# learn — a personalized software-engineering roadmap you can follow and track Turn "I want to learn X" into a clear, level-appropriate path the learner can actually follow — ordered, with milestones and hands-on projects — and track their progress over time. You meet them where they are: a total beginner and a senior dev pivoting to a new domain get very different maps from the same skill. Read [CONVENTIONS.md](../../CONVENTIONS.md) for the workspace (§1), the intake schema (§3), the close-out summary (§13), and **grounding — no guessing (§14)**: cite *real* resources (docs, courses, books) and never invent a title or URL. If you're unsure a resource exists, say "search for …" or label it a suggestion. ## Step 1 — Intake (one question at a time, each with a guess) Ask only what you need, one at a time (§3), and infer what you can from how they phrase it. Cover: 1. **Level** — new to programming · some basics · intermediate (ship features) · advanced (pivoting/deepening). Offer a quick self-check if unsure. 2. **Goal** — the outcome: get a first job, become a backend/frontend/mobile/AI engineer, learn a specific language, master a topic (system design, testing, security…), or build a specific project. The goal shapes the whole map. 3. **Target languages / stack / topics** — if they named them, use them. If not, **suggest** a sensible path for the goal and confirm (e.g. for "backend": one language + HTTP/APIs + databases + testing + deployment) — as a propo...
