I know for a lot of people, myself included, learning something new feels a lot more natural when’s it’s by doing rather than simply reading/reciting (where possible). Sometimes, while a discipline itself interests me, I can’t find the initial angle to crack it at where it sparks my curiosity to do its own thing. To that end I’m finding that it’s not a bad idea to set an LLM loose on some related project ...
