Being-as-Understanding

Learn the Ethos

Creation is the discipline of removing what obscures.

Eight paths. One philosophy. Understanding through practice.

The Thesis

Build your own philosophically-powered development system from the terminal. Learn to architect with AI—not as automation, but as partnership.

WezTerm
Terminal as dwelling
Claude Code
AI partnership
Cloudflare
Edge infrastructure
SvelteKit
Minimal reactivity
Neomutt
Email that recedes

Each tool was chosen because it disappears into use. The infrastructure recedes; only the work remains.

Learning Paths

5 lessons

Getting Started

Environment Setup

Install WezTerm, then Claude Code, then configure everything else using Claude Code. The bootstrap sequence that enables everything.

5 lessons

Foundations

The Subtractive Triad

The philosophical core of CREATE SOMETHING. Learn the three-level discipline of subtractive revelation.

5 lessons

Craft

SvelteKit + Canon CSS

Building interfaces the CREATE SOMETHING way. Tailwind for structure, Canon for aesthetics.

Requires: foundations
5 lessons

Infrastructure

Cloudflare Workers/D1/KV

Edge-first architecture where infrastructure disappears into capability.

Requires: foundations
5 lessons

Agents

Coordination + Claude Code

Multi-agent systems that reason together. The tool recedes; the swarm works.

Requires: foundations, infrastructure
6 lessons

Method

WORKWAY Professional Services

Delivering value through the CREATE SOMETHING methodology. Being-as-Service.

Requires: foundations, craft
5 lessons

Systems

Templates + Automations

Building systems that multiply capability while maintaining simplicity.

Requires: craft, infrastructure
6 lessons

Partnership

Terminal + Claude Code

Learning to work alongside AI agents. The craftsman uses the hammer; the hammer does not use him.

Requires: foundations, agents
3 lessons

Advanced

MCP + Hooks + Orchestration

Deep-dive into custom MCP servers, hook automation, and multi-agent patterns. Tools that recede into transparent use.

Requires: partnership, agents

The Hermeneutic Spiral

Learning is not linear. Each return to a concept deepens understanding. Read, practice, reflect—then return with new eyes.

What We Build Together

CREATE SOMETHING + Claude Code: human-AI partnership that builds complete solutions. The same methodology that built this LMS.

Web Development

SvelteKit applications deployed to Cloudflare edge. Templates, verticals, full-stack.

AI Integration

MCP servers, Claude Code workflows, agent orchestration, intelligent automation.

Automation

CI/CD pipelines, hooks, scheduled workers, event-driven systems.

Systems Architecture

D1 databases, KV caching, R2 storage, Workers composition, edge-first design.

This platform was built entirely through terminal-based AI partnership. Learn the methodology. Build your own systems.
