A few years ago I announced a project too early and felt snakebit when it fizzled on the vine. I've been hesitant to share my next thing, but I just got my second investor check so it's time.

🧵 Problem #1: Certifications & credentials don't do the job they're hired to do: tell you the level someone can apply a given skill on the job.

Partially because credentialing is a broken mode, partially because skills have to be applied *on teams* to build good things.
