Open This Before Jan 2

Summary

The episode highlights the rare, distraction‑free period between Christmas and New Year’s as an ideal time to decide whether to ship a real AI product in the coming year. It outlines a two‑part learning path—a free 10‑hour LLM Primer and a full‑stack AI Engineering course—designed to give listeners practical judgment on prompting, retrieval‑augmented generation, evaluation, and agent use, then guide them to build and deploy a production‑grade LLM pipeline. The host emphasizes that completing this bundle by Jan 2 will turn holiday resolutions into tangible proof of capability, positioning listeners to start 2026 as effective AI engineers rather than just theorists.
