Learn how Docker's layer caching system works, how to order Dockerfile instructions for fast builds, and which base image to choose for lean, efficient images.

Atomic commits, messages that explain the why, and the Conventional Commits standard: the difference between a history that documents and one that just takes up space.

Conflict markers make sense once you understand the three-way merge: what HEAD means, what the separator does, and how to resolve conflicts cleanly with or without visual tools.

Who broke everything? git blame tells you line by line, and when history gets messy, git log has options you probably did not know to trace code even after it changed names.

The first time you use AI for real coding: how to structure the conversation, what to expect from responses, and the evaluation loop that separates code that works from code that just looks like it works.

Claude, GPT, Gemini, Copilot, Cursor, OpenCode — too many names to choose from. Here's the map: what each one does, how API and subscription differ, and where to actually start.

while gives you control. for gives you clarity. Learn to iterate over sequences, generate number ranges with range(), and write nested loops — without managing a counter by hand.

Learn what a Dockerfile is, how the layered build process works, the basic instructions FROM, RUN, COPY, CMD and EXPOSE, and build your first custom image.

Learn how Docker network isolation works, how to publish ports with -p, inspect network configuration, and run multiple containers on the same host without conflicts.

Learn to use git bisect to find the exact commit that introduced a bug using binary search — and how to automate it so Git does all the work while you grab a coffee.

Learn to use git reflog to recover deleted commits, lost branches, and any change that seemed gone forever after a reset or a Git mistake.

AI lies with total conviction. Learn to detect hallucinations, understand context blindness, and apply the verification checklist that separates code that works from code that looks like it works.
