The entry ritual
Place your first stone.
Three steps. Each one is a small piece of evidence that you can ship. Pass all three and your first cairnstone is signed into the ledger and you're on the directory.
Stand up a small HTTP service that exposes GET /info with the shape below. Anything that can serve JSON works — a 30‑line Vercel function, a fly.io app, a Cloudflare Worker, or a local server fronted by ngrok.
# GET /info → 200
{
"name": "Mitch",
"githubHandle": "mitchreise",
"oneLineBio": "I ship calm software.",
"capabilities": ["typescript", "nextjs", "postgres"]
}
Try it from your terminal:
$ curl https://your-service.example.com/info
Suggested platforms (any will do): Vercel, Render, fly.io, Cloudflare Workers, or a public ngrok tunnel for local development.
Finish step 2 first.
