Week 2 - of Learning AI

A quick note: I've been posting daily updates on my AI agent learning journey, but finding enough time for daily posts is tricky. So, I'm switching to a weekly format! This will be my fourth post in the series, and I'll keep documenting my progress here.

This week, I continued my dive into AI agents with some insightful resources:

  • How to Build an Agent by Ampcode: This article was really simple to understand and did a fantastic job of introducing agents and explaining how to use Large Language Models (LLMs). It even walked me through building a basic coding agent, which helped me truly grasp what agents are. I highly recommend it if you're just starting out.

  • Agents At Work 4: The Future of Coding with Thorsten Ball: This YouTube episode featured Jordi Montes and Thorsten Ball discussing AI agents in software development. Thorsten is known for his work in Go, and it was interesting to hear their thoughts on the evolving landscape of agents.

  • My AI Skeptic Friends Are All Nuts by Fly.io: This blog post gave me mixed feelings. It definitely offered a different perspective on the AI space.

  • Claude Prompt Engineering Course (Google Sheet): This course, presented as a Google Sheet, is designed to help you engineer optimal prompts in Claude. It really helped improve my understanding of prompting techniques.

Overall, I've made some decent progress in understanding AI agents this week! I'll keep documenting this journey.
