Campbell gave me the map. Jung showed me the inner work. The rest are in here.

> Everything here feeds one question: how do we make AI reliable?
Infrastructure taught me what reliability means.Growth taught me how humans get better at things.Meaning taught me why any of it matters.
The Platform
What enables minds to function—external memory, context management, operational reliability.
The Phoenix Project taught me why systems fail. Now I apply those lessons to AI: observability, determinism, graceful failure. Same patterns, new domain.
The Path
What enables minds to develop—flow states, deliberate practice, feedback loops.
Vibe coding is flow state applied to AI collaboration. Tight feedback loops, deliberate practice, iteration speed. The psychology of human performance transfers directly.
The Purpose
What makes it matter—Campbell's myths, Jung's individuation, the hero's journey.
The hero's journey is about becoming capable. Tools that actually work amplify that journey. Unreliable AI short-circuits it. That's why reliability matters.
