I haven't been getting through course.fast.ai as fast as I'd like but it's very good. I've also used mathacademy.com to get me back up to pre-uni-level maths, I've nearly finished Math Fundamentals III and plan to do Machine Learning next.

I just wanted to say that this has been super helpful this week - I feel like I've gone from total inexperience with AI to a huge goose fan in the time since I read this! I even wrote my own MCP server for CircleCI logs.
Thanks Angie, you're doing amazing work!
