AI is powerful—but weird.
The tools we have today can already transform the way you work…but they can also get in your way if you don’t understand the fundamentals.
The tech is both early and developing incredibly fast, which means even the most seasoned developers can get lost in the quirks and constraints.
If you don't know what those constraints are, you don't know how to work around them, and you're not going to be able to get the most out of the technology that we have.
You’ll learn:
- What a system prompt really does
- Why LLMs “think” in numbers, not text
- Why overstuffing your context window backfires
- Why giving an LLM too many tools slows it down
- What an agent is—and when you don’t need one
These concepts will give you a serious advantage. You’ll pick up the vocabulary people are using, but more importantly, you’ll start thinking about AI in a clearer way.
Because once you understand the quirks and constraints, you can actually use AI for what it is: a strange but powerful tool that works best when you know its limits.
