CHAPTER 01

The Rulebook Fire

Why playing safe is the surest way to lose everything

As far back as I can remember I knew that if I played by the rules I'd lose. The corporate career ladders, the sanitized LinkedIn platitudes, the 5-year plans designed by committee — they were blueprints for mediocrity. So we built our own playground. Out of scrap servers, midnight scripts, and stubborn non-compliance. When you stop asking for permission, the entire game board rearranges itself in front of you.
