Relearning agent engineering in 90 days: one boring pipeline, fake PASS gates, 11,447 lines deleted

The author's 90-day agent engineering curriculum: skip roadmap threads and build one boring pipeline until it lies to you.

Month 1: one agent, one job — his writes posts and ships them to X and LinkedIn from a Contabo server.
Month 2: put a quality gate in front of outputs, then audit the gate — one of his could say PASS without ever running.
Month 3: delete — two controllers doing the same job with different rules; he cut 11,447 lines across 34 files and kept one.

Frameworks and evals show up on their own; the real curriculum is the first fake green checkmark.
