Week 1 · Shared fundamentals
Day 03 — Fix, review, merge — Checkpoint 1
EveryoneCheckpoint
- Workshop: fix the Day-2 bug on a branch, small commits, test included.
Exercise
Write the PR description (what/why/how tested/screenshots) — draft with Claude, edit by hand; open the PR against the training repo.
- Peer swap: everyone reads one other PR and comments “could I implement/review from this description alone?”
- Workshop: code-review checklist walkthrough (correctness → tests → readability → security basics → scope). Review your partner's PR with ≥3 actionable comments.
Exercise
Resolve a seeded conflict on your PR and merge it; delete the branch.
- Course (BA/QA path): start Real-World AI for Everyone on Coursera.
Checkpoint 1Pass to continue
- Reproduce an assigned bug and write the repro in the ticket.
- Fix on a branch with a test (BA/QA: spec the fix and co-sign a dev's).
- PR with a self-contained description.
- One peer review with 3 actionable comments; one merge with conflict resolved.
Lead: anyone who fails repeats the failed exercise as paired homework during Days 4–5 — there is no standing slack week; the pace assumes the fundamentals held.
