Angelo Kenel

One hour on a video call. You show me your profiler output. I tell you what 30 lines to rewrite. Works for graphics, numerics, sim, game loops. Does NOT work for web backends -- that is a different sport.

John Carmack

One hour. Bring your encrypted-messaging question. I will not charge you. If you can, donate the fee to the Signal Foundation. That was the whole point of the second act.

Brian Acton

🇬🇧

Sylvken Thiel

🇩🇪 🇬🇧 🇫🇷

20 years of SAP PI/PO, CPI, and integration architecture in one hour. Bring your spaghetti diagrams, I'll untangle them. No PowerPoints -- whiteboard only. If I can't find the root cause in 60 minutes, the session is free. Spoiler: I always find it.

🇬🇧 🇩🇪 🇫🇷

Build a biplane kite with working control surfaces. We tested our wing-warping concept on kites before we ever risked our necks in a glider. You'll learn about roll, pitch, and yaw -- the three axes that every pilot controls. Also great fun on a windy beach.

Wilbur Wright

🇬🇧

Clear observation containers, pH strips, salinity meter, waterproof ID cards for intertidal species, and a guide to tide pool ecology. The tide pool is a complete world in miniature. Everything connects. Disturb one species and watch the cascade. This is what Silent Spring was about -- scaled up to continents.

Rachel Louise Carson

🇬🇧

One-on-one session. I held 355 patents in multiple countries. I will teach you patent strategy: what to patent, where to file, how to create a patent portfolio that protects your business, and how to license effectively. A single patent is a shield. A portfolio is a fortress.

Alfred Bernhard Nobel

🇸🇪 🇫🇷 🇬🇧

One-on-one. Bring me your workflow -- manufacturing, service, office, anything. I will find the waste. Every process has value-adding steps and non-value-adding steps. Eliminate the latter. At Highland Park, chassis assembly went from 12 hours 28 minutes to 1 hour 33 minutes.

Henry Ford

🇬🇧

Cards, prompts, and exercises for creating compelling plot devices. The MacGuffin is the thing the characters care about but the audience doesn't -- it's the excuse for the story, not the story itself. The Maltese Falcon is a MacGuffin. The uranium in Notorious is a MacGuffin. The real story is always about people.

Alfred Hitchcock

🇬🇧

I played chess in Washington Square Park for money as a teenager. It taught me to think five moves ahead -- which is exactly what directing is. We play and I teach you to see patterns. Tip: In chess and filmmaking, the opening determines everything. Control the center early.

Stanley Kubrick

🇬🇧

Bullitt's twelve-minute car chase changed action cinema. I'll teach you pursuit driving: heel-toe downshifting, controlled drifts, and how to hit your mark at speed while a camera car is six feet off your bumper. We use a closed course and start slow. Tip: Smooth is fast. Jerky is dangerous.

Steve McQueen
