It's 5am. Coffee in a favorite mug. A candle lit. Still in my pajamas on the couch, Sunny curled up at my feet.
And on my lap — a laptop I wiped clean, installed a fresh operating system on, and had absolutely no idea what I was doing with.
I'm a PhD mechanical engineer. I've taught at universities and high schools for over a decade. I'm a mom of two. And I had this quiet, growing feeling that I was stifling something.
I knew AI was changing everything. I could feel it. But every time I tried to learn, I hit the same wall — too technical, too shallow, or built for someone who wasn't me.
So I just started. Every morning before my family woke up. One file at a time.
And now I want to hand you the map.
