Getting Started with AI in 2026: The New Path

The fastest path to AI fluency isn't another video course — it's shipping small projects with an agent at your side.

Week 1: Build something tiny

Pick a problem you actually have. Use an agent to scaffold, implement, and test. Document what surprised you.

Week 2: Add evaluation

Measure outputs — latency, cost, accuracy. Agents without metrics are demos, not products.

Week 3: Share and iterate

Write a short post or thread. Teaching solidifies learning and surfaces gaps in your mental model.
