## Readable guides

- [How to become a forward deployed engineer](https://fdelab.dev/learn/): A practical FDE learning path: 29 milestones across software foundations, customer discovery, integrations, applied AI, production, and portfolio work.
- [Benmore and Agent Factory: an FDE reading path](https://fdelab.dev/reading/): Twelve paired reading sessions connect Forward Deployed and AI Agent Factory to discovery, specifications, evaluation, recovery, and customer ownership.
- [Books, courses, and resources for FDE practice](https://fdelab.dev/resources/): 63 curated resources for forward deployed engineering, with practical uses, source dates, access conditions, and interpretation limits.
- [FDE simulation missions: play Deployment Run](https://fdelab.dev/missions/): Practise forward deployed engineering in three fictional customer missions: dispatch, invoice matching, and internal knowledge. Decisions carry delayed consequences.
- [The Monday queue: an FDE dispatch operations simulation](https://fdelab.dev/missions/northstar/): Get repair requests to eligible technicians faster. Every assignment still needs a dispatcher’s approval.
- [The missing invoice: an FDE finance operations simulation](https://fdelab.dev/missions/cedar/): Reduce invoice matching work. The pilot may create draft matches; payments and bank-detail changes stay outside its authority.
