Code and steel
The workshop is the engineering school. Measure, join, load-test the seam.
The shop is loud. Steel does not autocomplete. You measure the opening. You cut. You tack. You check the square. You run the seam. Then you hang your weight on it — or you do not ship it to a balcony on the fifth floor.
That is the whole engineering loop. Software pretends the loop is optional, because the failure is a 500 and not a railing that lets go.
I weld during the day in Tashkent. I specify for agents at night. The method is the same: write the joint, inspect the bead, load-test. If the agent hallucinated a library, that is a cold shut — grind it out, run it again.
People treat the welding as a plot twist. It is the school. The useful diploma is the habit of not shipping a seam you would not stand on.
