Why knowing something and recognizing that you know it are two different skills — and why AI is dissolving the second one first.
A 5-question self-assessment: do you still know what you know, or has AI become your external hard drive?
How to run one coding session without AI tools — what you'll discover, and why it matters more than you think.
A simple rule: if you can't explain why the AI-generated code works, you don't own it. Here's how to build that back.
A personal policy for which problems get AI help, which don't, and how to tell the difference without overthinking it.

What engineers say after 5 days
"I took the calibration test on Day 2 and my score was lower than I expected. That single email changed how I think about every AI tool I use."
"The 'explanation requirement' on Day 4 was the most practical thing I've read all year. I now require myself to understand every AI suggestion before I accept it — not just read it."
"I've been a subscriber to The Dispatch for 8 months. The email course condensed everything I needed into 5 focused days. Finally took it and wished I'd done it sooner."
