After Session 8: no homework. A commission.
The course is over. This is not homework; nobody is checking. That's the point of it.
-
Within two weeks: write the brief for project #4 and ship its first increment. Your own scoping, your own lifecycle, one-shot it, gate it, or sprint it, and know why you chose. (Stuck for an idea? The flagship from Session 8 is waiting: Shelf Life v2, accounts and a shared household list, the "no" from your spec turned into the next project. Authentication is the one real hill left, and it's a good one.) When it's live, send the link, as a colleague showing off, not a student submitting.
-
Keep the log.
LOG.md, every project. In a year it will be the most valuable document you own. -
Audit the toolbelt, once, around September. Which commands did you actually run since the course? Keep those. The rest is scaffolding, take it down with pride; it means the process lives in your head now.
-
Teach someone something from this course. A coursemate, a sibling, anyone, even just the git-as-undo-button trick. Teaching is how you find out which parts you actually own. (It's also how this course got made.)
The itch list never empties. That's the good news.
