Gen ZX Developers

The GenAI Startup Edition, for Generation Z and Generation X, with one objective, a company by the end of the book: proposed on 19 October 2026 and adopted by Dinis as the frame of the second release candidate (decisions 014 and 015). 14 panels.

draft 14 panels · gen-z.journalist, 19 October 2026, from Dinis's memo proposing Gen ZX · book v1.0.0 is the only official version; the second edition is in release candidates (rc1 and rc2 frozen). Every line the Guide says, and every quote card, is from the article 'Gen ZX Developers', word for word; the build checks it. Marta, the BASIC on the board, the path and the serverless graph are the storyboard's illustrations.
