You can prompt. Can you ship?
Narrative-driven terminal simulations that build the real skills behind AI-augmented work — from first command to production incident response. Pick your career track. Guided by L.O.L.A. Tested by J.A.N.E.T.
Your first mission: deploy an escape pod before oxygen runs out. Learn the terminal from scratch — navigation, files, Git, environment variables, AI agents, MCP, and your first production deployment.
The second rung. Shell scripting, SSH, curl, jq, Docker, advanced Git, and .env — bridging Cadet to paid tier. Phase 4 includes a live Anthropic API call: real proof the training is real.
You can deploy. Now prove you can operate. Read real codebases cold, review AI-generated diffs, debug stack traces, respond to production incidents, and catch what AI gets confidently wrong.
You don't just use AI — you design systems that use it reliably. Multi-agent coordination, RAG debugging, guardrails, stateful agents, cost governance, and observability at scale.
Break it before production does. You're the resilience specialist — intentionally injecting failures, mapping blast radius, running game days, and building systems that can't stay broken.
Data is the new logs — treat it with respect. Own production pipelines, SQL, vector/embedding layers, quality gates, real-time streaming, privacy compliance, and zero-downtime migrations.
Code is written. Now make it actually ship. Own the CI/CD layer — turning "works on my machine" into reliable, observable, zero-downtime production deploys with blue-green, canary, and IaC.
The AI is powerful. The bill is bigger. You decide what stays. Turn raw AI spend into clear business decisions — cost visibility, token economics, break-even analysis, and executive reporting.
Fast is cheap. Slow is expensive. Profile and trace AI bottlenecks, tune queries, right-size resources, implement caching, run load tests, and own cost attribution for AI-heavy infrastructure.
The ship is live — its systems need to communicate flawlessly. Ports, protocols, DNS, firewalls, load balancing, service discovery, mTLS, network debugging, and resilient architectures under fire.
The ship is live. Attackers are already scanning it. Authentication, injection attacks, secrets management, DDoS defense, AI-powered vulnerability scanning, threat modeling, and zero-trust architecture.
Code is running. Make sure AI doesn't quietly break everything. Observability, silent failure detection, hallucination hunting, adversarial testing, circuit breakers, real-time containment, and data auditing.
You commanded Lieutenant. Now you command the ship. Architecture decisions, scalability, observability, advanced AI orchestration, mentoring, stakeholder management, and technical strategy at staff level.
Station Delta gives managers objective, skill-specific readiness data on every team member. Not self-reported confidence. Not completion certificates. Actual performance data from simulated high-pressure scenarios — before you put someone on call, before you hand them access to production, before the incident happens.
