The self-scheduling learning system
Research goes in once, current and verified. A frontier model breaks it down and writes each page, fusing it with my own record as it goes: standing hypotheses, the watchlist, my dated takes, my opinions. What comes out is a course built around what I am actually doing, and every card then carries its own review dates.
Why it is built this way
The course follows the work
Cards come from what I am building and what I got stuck on, so nothing gets studied that will not be used.
My own record is fused in
New research is merged with my hypotheses, watchlist and dated takes, so reading changes my judgment, not just my notes.
Each card keeps its own clock
Settled ideas drift months out and graduate. Anything shaky comes back in days. I never decide what to revise.
Built around what I already know
The system is customized to me, not to a syllabus. Before writing a single card it reads my knowledge base: what I already know, which concepts I use daily, where my own record says I got stuck. Then it breaks the field down to the depth I actually need, and explains each new idea through examples I already own, my own deals, my own apps, my own notes. Two courses are live right now. Their tables of contents are below, titles only, because in this system the titles are the lessons.

BYOAI Prerequisites
20 cards · about 2 hours · enterprise AI security, built on same-week verified research, feeding an investment thesis
- BYOAI is already normal, and banning it only makes it invisible
- The user-token problem gives an agent all your power with none of your judgment
- Every wave of unowned devices got a boundary product, from VDI to MAM
- The enclave and the enterprise browser are the laptop era’s boundary products
- The BYOD money went to the safety layer, and the AI slot is still empty
- Compliance is pre-approved budget, and audits are how it gets spent
- HIPAA and FINRA in detail, who they bind and which markets they close
- The AI rulebooks are forming, ISO 42001, the EU AI Act, and NIST AI RMF
- OAuth replaced passwords with permission slips, and agents need the same moment
- Agent identity arrived with Entra Agent ID, Cross App Access, and Auth for GenAI
- Non-human identity consolidated in one quarter, and adoption still lags
- DLP watches data leaving, and the prompt box is its newest exit
- Zenity watches what agents do, and Cyera knows where the valuables are
- The employer side is funded and consolidating while the worker side is one waitlist
- RAG lets AI borrow knowledge at answer time, which makes access the product
- A TEE is a locked room with a window onto proof
- FHE computes on sealed data, and its real use is the small decision kernel
- Federated learning ships the lesson and keeps the diary
- The guards of one workday, the whole market in a single story
- The two-sided thesis and the empty worker seat, said for an interview
