Pathways
Name a goal. Get the route there.
Everything else in delve answers a question. Pathways answers a bigger one: what do I need to learn, and in what order, to actually be able to do this?
Pathways
Name a goal — get the route there
Your goal
I want to learn Terraform
What infrastructure as code solves
Declarative vs. imperative
Providers and the dependency graph
State: the file that makes it work
Plan, apply, reading a diff
Environments and drift in a team
How it works
You write the goal, not a search term
"I want to learn Terraform." "I want to understand options trading." "I want to play tennis." A sentence in your own words. Say whether you're starting cold or already know your way around, and the route is pitched there.
It builds a route of three to six topics
Not a reading list scraped together. An ordered path, where each topic only assumes what the one before it taught — and the last one gets you to the thing you actually said you wanted.
You work down it
Each step is a full delve topic in its own right: a video, prose in three depths, an AI to interrogate. Tick one off and the path fills in behind you, so you can always see how far along you are.
Or take one someone already built
Paths other people have made sit under Trending, ready to open. Yours are kept too — start one, put it down for a week, and it's waiting exactly where you left it.

Workspaces, environments and drift in a team
Steps run Foundation → Core → Practice → Mastery — the last one is the goal itself, not wherever the reading ran out.
Why the order matters
Most self-teaching fails on sequence, not effort. You hit the thing that assumed something you never learned, and quietly stop. A path exists to remove that moment.
It knows where it ends
A path is built backwards from your goal, so the final step is the goal itself — not wherever the reading happened to run out.
