One board for the work, one inventory of everything unfinished
Every issue a file, the boards generated; text issues in the vault; one inventory of the 89 outlines, the drafts, the 43 GitHub issues and the handwritten notes, with a decision column.
Decided by. Dinis, in both articles and decision 005
Where it comes from
- One board for the book the whole argument (article)
- Everything unfinished in one place the whole argument (article)
- Decision 005: Text issues live in the vault text issues live in the vault (decision)
What it answers in the 2018 book
- none named
Where it goes
Chapter How this book was made, and what you made, part How this book was made, and what you made (drafting); topic How this book was made (the last part).
Other ideas proposed for the same chapter: The repository holds the official versions; the vault holds the working versions, Co-written with Claude, credited, with the ratio shown; short and punchy; every paragraph knows what it is, A personal edition, assembled by an agent, paid for as it is read, Read, comment, decide: the loop that turns Dinis's decisions into versions, An article is how to brief an agent, and the roles keep their names, Release the book we already released: every format from one source, Start from the storyline, as storyboards drawn by code, Everything we do here becomes a graph: ideas as nodes, provenance as edges, state on every node, The name: Generation ZX Developers (GenAI Startup Edition), A hands-on part, dated 2026 and renewed each year, Do the book in release mode: a whole release candidate from the first list, then rounds, then the next candidate, After rc1, nothing enters the book without a hearing: an advocate, a cutter, the readers, a checker, the editor, and Dinis decides, Every verdict is recorded with its reason, and a general reason becomes a precedent that decides the next case without a hearing, A release candidate's working copy is in the vault; the site renders a frozen snapshot of it, marked, never official, The book is measured by how many companies are created from it, and builds a community of the people who tell us, The book is 200 printed pages or more; short and punchy stays the rule for chapters, not for the book, A change decided by precedent goes on a list Dinis can overturn, and Dinis reads the diffs of the book, The hands-on part is inside the book, dated, in the release candidate.
