## Content

### Pathways (/pathways)
Curated learning tracks for specific technologies. Each pathway has:
- Overview notes (markdown)
- Embedded YouTube videos
- Twitter/X threads
- External links and resources
- Difficulty level: beginner / intermediate / advanced

Available pathways:
- /pathways/golang — Go programming language
- /pathways/solidity — Solidity and Ethereum smart contracts
- /pathways/rust — Rust systems programming
- /pathways/finance — Financial independence, FIRE, SIP investing
- /pathways/distributed-systems — CAP theorem, Raft, consensus
- /pathways/kafka — Apache Kafka event streaming
- /pathways/infra — Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, DevOps
- /pathways/clojure — Clojure functional programming

### Resources (/resources)
In-depth blog posts on niche developer topics. Each post has:
- Featured resource (YouTube video, Twitter thread, or external link) at the top
- Full markdown article body
- Author information
- Difficulty level and category
- Tags

Categories: system-design, trading, devops, web3, distributed-systems, rust, golang, finance

### Videos (/videos)
All videos from the @0xffdevs YouTube channel, embeddable directly on-site.

### Calculator (/calculator)
Financial calculators for developers:
- SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) calculator — monthly investment + returns
- FIRE number calculator — 25× annual expenses at chosen safe withdrawal rate
- FD / Compound Interest calculator

### About (/about)
About the 0xffdevs platform and the FatFIRE philosophy.

## Key Concepts
- FatFIRE: Financial Independence Retire Early with a large enough portfolio to maintain a high lifestyle
- SIP: Systematic Investment Plan — monthly recurring investments in index funds
- FIRE Number: Annual expenses × 25 (at 4% safe withdrawal rate)
- 4% SWR: Safe Withdrawal Rate — historically a diversified portfolio sustains 4% annual withdrawals

## Tech Stack
- React + TypeScript (Vite)
- React Router for routing
- react-markdown for rendering markdown content
- MetaMask / window.ethereum for Web3 wallet connection
- No backend — all data is currently static/hardcoded

## Content Freshness
Data is hardcoded in /src/data/. Pathway content is in /src/data/pathways/. Resource articles are in /src/data/resources/.

## Content Intake (for AI agents)
New content is staged in `/CONTENT.md` at the project root.
AI agents should read that file to find pending videos, tweets, interview stories, pathways, and blog posts, then convert and write them to the correct TypeScript data files.
Conversion instructions are in `/CLAUDE.md`.
