Wasteology Academy
Wasteology Academy is the company's learning platform — not a one-off course site, but a growing catalog of tracks that take engineers from "never touched this" to "shipped it, proven." Track one is the Agentic Developer Workflow (ADW): how we use Claude Code agents, gated by humans, to turn a spec into a merged PR.
The Company Docs are the quick-start reference. The Academy is the full course: concept explainers, hands-on labs, knowledge checks, and a certificate when you finish. Read the docs to look something up. Take the track to actually learn it.
Available tracks
🤖 ADW Track — available now
Ten modules, local-first: install Claude Code on your own subscription, ground
it in lat.md, write a spec, run the real plan → build → verify → PR loop,
learn why evidence gates matter, then scale to the cloud and onboard your own
project. Ends in a capstone where you ship a real, human-gated PR built by ADW.
📊 Data Platform — coming soon
Prefect, Sling, dbt, and the ETL stack that keeps Wasteology's data flowing.
🔒 Security & Compliance — coming soon
Access governance, credential hygiene, and the Wasteology cloud-governance standard.
👋 Platform Foundations — available now
Engineering onboarding: the ecosystem, lat.md & the knowledge atlas, the Git/ADO workflow, the data platform, and cloud governance & access.
The Academy is built course-agnostic on purpose — a new track is just a new content folder plus one sidebar entry, no platform change required. Have a topic that deserves a track? Talk to the team that owns it.
How a track works
Every track follows the same shape, whether it's ADW today or Data Platform tomorrow: a linear, gated sequence of modules, each pairing a concept with something you actually do.
Your progress is tracked as you go — locally in your browser to start, and across devices once you're signed in. See how the Academy teaches and how tracks, progress, and certificates work for the details.
This platform is itself spec-first content, grounded in a knowledge graph that can't silently drift from the code, gated by required CI checks before anything merges. If that sentence didn't fully make sense yet — that's exactly what the ADW Track teaches.
