@JokerIBlack @gauraavvii Github commits is a poor metric.
For example, my github account shows only 97 contributions this year. However, I made over 1100 commits at work because they told me I was told to use a github account they gave to me.

@jun_song The 4 trillion dollar company, by the way, asking for $200 to try an ai model whereas OpenAI and Anthropics, once-startups, give you enough tokens and reset for $20.

@twannl Don't get me wrong. Course content and projects are crcuial to learning. But a certificate is meaningless unless it's difficult to get and requires strict and proven evalution process.
