4-week build

Ready to ship something? Take the Capstone Track.

A guided 4-week curation through the practices: pick a target, follow the path, ship by week 4. Zero new content. The ordered tour that turns "I read the practices" into "I built the thing."

How to use this site. Every practice is the same shape: a syllabus page lists every unit, each lesson lives at its own anchor with a left sidebar for jumping around and a right rail of section headings on the current page. Hands-on lessons are flagged with a citrus border. Every practice leaves a working artifact behind. A script, a config, a habit. Bring corrections; this is V1.

FAQ

Common questions.

How much does this cost?
Pradhya has no paid tier. Some hands-on labs use external products, API credit, hosting, or optional hardware; those providers may charge you. See setup and costs before starting a build.
Do I need an account?
You can browse the catalog, First Principles, and Monday Setup without one. The remaining full practices require a free email sign-in.
Do I need to know how to code?
The Monday Setup practice assumes zero technical background. If you can copy-paste into claude.ai, you can do it. Later practices range from beginner-friendly to comfortable in a terminal. We label each one.
Why is this free?
Because it is a learning site. There is no paid Pradhya tier; the free account is separate from any external provider costs.
What if the Monday Setup doesn't work for me?
Email the page, unit number, operating system, and exact error to hello@genmindz.ai. Remove API keys and personal data from screenshots or logs first.
