Those tools are valuable, but they also make it easy to deploy systems without fully understanding how they work. My goal isn\u2019t to reject abstraction \u2014 it\u2019s to understand what lies beneath it so I know when to rely on it, when to replace it, and when to build something from scratch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I built this space for the engineers, students, business owners, researchers, and curious builders who want to understand AI beyond APIs and tutorials.
