Day 5: The Reckoning

Overview

Day 5 is different from the preceding four. Days 1-4 teach skills. Day 5 asks what happens when those skills are not enough.

The centrepiece is the MeetZaya case study -- a 3-part narrative that unfolds over approximately 45 minutes of the theory session. The case study is supported by 5 ACIs (the most advanced set of any day) and bookended by the evaluation framework as a durable meta-skill. The day's structure is: warning signals, failure at scale, the philosophical implications, honest productivity data, and then the tools to keep learning.
