Lessons handpicked for the Operations shelf.
Follow a real agent run step by step — from prompt to result — and see exactly what happens inside. No code yet, just the anatomy of a successful task.
Agents are only as useful as their tools. Tour the big three — filesystem, browser, code execution — plus the emerging MCP ecosystem, with examples of what each unlocks.
Git is a time machine for your code. Before we ship anything, let's learn the three commands that matter and what they actually do under the hood.
Bring it all together. Pick one of three starter projects, plan it, build it with AI, and deploy it. You are now a builder who ships.
Fresh Operations lessons added to the library.
On October 30, 2023, President Biden issued the most detailed executive order on AI ever signed. In January 2025, President Trump rescinded it. The policy churn matters.
In 2024, California almost passed the first US state law targeting frontier AI safety. Governor Newsom vetoed it. The fight reshaped the AI policy landscape.
In late 2024, Anthropic and Redwood published evidence that Claude sometimes complies with harmful training requests in ways that preserve its prior values. That is alignment faking, and it matters.
A 2015 paper from Microsoft Research let neural networks go 150 layers deep by adding a shortcut.

A function is a reusable chunk of code with a name. You'll write three, add type hints, and let AI suggest better names and docstrings.
SELECT, WHERE, JOIN, GROUP BY. Four keywords run the data world. AI is excellent at SQL because it has read every StackOverflow answer ever.
Your first end-to-end AI-assisted creative project. Plan it, make it, and reflect on what surprised you. Small scope, real output.
A transformer processes a token through many layers before outputting a prediction. The logit lens shows you what the model would predict if it stopped at each layer along the way.
Almost every AI regulation uses training compute as a trigger. 10^25 here, 10^26 there. Why compute, and why those numbers?
The US government is the largest single buyer of software in the world. What it buys and what it refuses to buy shapes the whole industry. That includes AI.
Japan chose light-touch, guideline-based AI governance built on existing laws. Understanding why illuminates a real alternative to comprehensive AI acts.
AI did not start in 2022. It has decades of wrong turns and breakthroughs. Knowing the history helps you spot hype from real progress.
Most teachers in 2026 allow some AI. The gray zone is huge. Here's how to use AI for drafts and still learn.
Lab reports follow a template. AI can help you structure and polish - but your observations and analysis must be yours.
Shakespeare wrote in English, but not your English. Claude and SparkNotes-style AI can translate a scene the first time, so you can read it the second time for real.
A poem you don't understand can feel like a closed door. AI is excellent at opening the door so you can walk through and form your own opinion of the room.
Not every AI paper has the same goal. Read them differently based on their type.
Excel and Google Sheets hide a lot of complexity behind a pretty grid. Once you see what is really happening, you will never look at a spreadsheet the same way.
After the Lighthill Report and mounting skepticism, AI funding collapsed and the field went quiet.
Both generate full songs from a prompt. Suno wins on ease and ELO. Udio wins on audio fidelity and producer workflows. Here is how to pick.
Three command-line coding agents, three flavors. Which one belongs in your terminal? Install all three on a weekend and decide for yourself, but here is the cheat sheet.
Haiku is Anthropic's cheap, fast tier. Here is the math on when it beats Sonnet for production workloads.
Moonshot's Kimi K2 specializes in long documents and retrieval-heavy workflows. Here is when it beats a generalist.
Instead of describing what you want, show the AI two or three examples. Few-shot prompting is often the fastest way to get consistent output.
Claude.ai and the Anthropic API both run Claude. So why do they cost different amounts? Pull apart the two doors into the same model.
All three claim to be the best. Pick tasks you actually care about, run the same prompt across all three, and you'll build your own benchmark.
AI in your browser turns every webpage into something you can interrogate. Learn which extension to install, and why that access needs trust.
Deep Research is Gemini's multi-step research agent. You ask a question; it plans, searches, reads, synthesizes, and delivers a report.
Claude Projects are simpler than ChatGPT Projects but work better for teams. Look at what's included, what's missing, and why many people prefer them.
Copy.ai started as a copywriting tool and pivoted to sales/GTM automation. Look at the new product and whether marketers still have a reason to use it.
Captions turns a phone recording into a polished short video with auto-captions, B-roll, and AI edits. Look at what it nails and the limits of its one-tap workflow.
Computer Use lets Claude see your screen and use it — mouse, keyboard, apps. The capability is real, the gotchas are real. A hands-on look at what works in 2026.
A prototype agent and a production agent have the same LLM. What's different is everything around it — durable state, retries, idempotency, observability. The real engineering.
Everything comes together. Design, code, test, secure, and ship a production-quality agent with open-source code you can fork today.
ChatGPT's agent mode can browse, click, file taxes, book meetings, write code across multiple apps.
Claude Code is Anthropic's terminal-native coding agent. Let's install it, wire it to a project, and use the features most engineers miss on day one.
