We write syllabi like editors, not advertisers
Clouddev began as a late-night critique circle for architects translating AWS releases into decisions Japanese enterprises could defend. Today eighteen people keep that tone: blunt, warm, allergic to vaporware.
Principles stay small: evidence over swagger, bilingual honesty, and mentors who sign their feedback with names, not aliases.
