Where should I start reading falkster.com?

THE SHORT ANSWER

Start from your seat, not from the top of the list. If you lead product, read the Leadership category (Outcome Accountability Is a Luxury Good, What Replaces the PM Ladder, Nobody Is Reading Anything) and then wave five of the handbook and the CPO page. If you are a PM becoming a Product Builder, read the handbook from wave one, then the Execution posts on evals, then run one agent blueprint. If you are a forward deployed engineer or building an FDE team, read The FDE Transition series and wave six of the handbook. If you lead design, read the Design Operating Model start to finish. If you are an engineer who now owns outcomes, read the agent blueprints and the harness posts in Foundation. If you are a founder or executive, read Foundation and load the Corpus into your own AI. The site holds 267 posts, a 49-chapter handbook, 203 answers, and 115 templates, all written from one seat while building an AI company, and the map post explains what each part is for.

Most people arrive here with a question, not a reading list, so the honest answer to "where do I start" is: wherever your question lives. The map post lays out every category, what it is for, and who it was written for, with links into each.

If you want a single first click: product leaders, Leadership; builders, the handbook; forward deployed engineers, the series; designers, the Design Operating Model; everyone in a hurry, the toolkit.
