Personal syllabus

/syllabus — AI Engineering FDE track

← Home

Daily 1-hour blocks. Four phases. Code-grounded in StartupTribunal. Build → write → ship.

How this works

Each day is AI-generated by Grok every morning, grounded in the live StartupTribunal codebase, your recent journal entries, and freshly web-searched papers.

At 05:30 Africa/Accra the generator drafts today's card. At 06:00 the day's email lands in your inbox so you can read on your phone before opening the laptop.

Click a day below to open the card. Read the resources, check the code anchors against the live repo, complete the deliverable, take the quiz, write the journal entry. Mark complete. The next day generates against that context.

Static content seeded for days 1-21 as a fallback. AI generation extends this indefinitely along the 4-phase / 30-week arc.

Eval Discipline

0 / 35 done

Replace ad-hoc TDD with systematic LLM evals that catch regressions before they hit prod.

Fine-Tuning & RLHF Intuition

0 / 42 done

Gain hands-on training experience so you can discuss fine-tune vs prompt vs router trade-offs without bluffing.

Inference Economics at Scale

0 / 49 done

Speak fluently on serving cost, latency, and quality trade-offs — vLLM, batching, quantization, KV-cache.

Distributed Systems + Frontier Safety/Interp

0 / 84 done

Build formalism for enterprise embedding. Read Anthropic's research deeply enough to discuss it as a peer.
