Four project briefs with acceptance criteria, chosen because each one forces a judgement call that a tutorial project never asks you to make.

Transcription, show notes and chapters, each with a stated quality bar — including the arithmetic showing what a 5% word error rate costs you on one episode.

Build the argument as bare claims first and let the model attack it, then generate prose one section at a time against a claim you wrote.

Where the line is between help and misrepresentation, what actually improves an application, and what screeners and interviewers catch.

Which AI artefacts to back up and which to rebuild, why a logical dump of a vector table restores far slower than you expect, and the restore drill that finds o

Six kinds of contribution a newcomer can genuinely make to AI tooling, what each one teaches, and how to pick a first issue that will actually get merged.

Why on-site search usually fails on missing catalogue attributes rather than on ranking, what a two-word misspelt query does to embeddings, and the experiment d
