Summary: To make Generation Z Developers (AI edition), Ithe wantplan is a website for it, consolidating the best of everything we have built so far into the most productive environment I can have for reviewing a book. The rule that organises it: the repository holds the official versions, and a vault holds the working versions. Version one is the book as released in 2018, so it goes into the repository as it is, dated, and the site starts as that book; everything after it is worked on in the vault and moved into the repository when it is ready, with a delta between each version, which is something I have always wanted for my books. From there: a semantic graph of the book, with its ontology and taxonomy; the book at every altitude, from a one-page view to the full text, with an infographic at each one; a narrative that guides the reader through it like a plot. While I read, I can comment by voice. There is a board, issues, and agents in roles, an editor, a copywriter and a publisher, who read the book, challenge it, write interview scripts for me, and sign off the parts we are happy with. Market research, evidence and maps for every section. And one correction to my own memo: the vault the book lives in will be public, so the OpenRouter key cannot go in it; it needs a vault of its own. The last part of the book should explain how all of this was built, because that is exactly what I wanthope a Generation Z developer towill be able to do. And I would argue that anyone who read the 2018 book and acted on it was well prepared for what happened next.

Of everything we have built in these repositories, Ithe wantidea is to bring the best parts together in one place, set up as the most effective and productive environment I can have for one job: reviewing and finishing this book. The ideas came from many places, most of them from the books on graphs.sgit.ai, where a lot of these concepts first appeared: a shelf with versions, seven roles with a folder each, the book as a graph, the same book at several altitudes. This is where they come together, for a book I wantwould like to finish.

The last part of the book should explain how all of this comes together: the repository and the vault, the graph and the altitudes, the agents and their roles, the reviews and the versions. Because that is exactly what I wanthope a Generation Z developer towill be able to build, for their own ideas.
