My friend made $2 million last year by running his own quantitative trading system.
No MIT. No Stanford. No hedge fund background.
I asked him how he built the strategies from zero.
He sent me a course that was never supposed to get out. A quant researcher walks through 3 full strategies from data to backtest.
You won't find anything better about building quantitative strategies like hedge funds than this.
I watched it last night.
Halfway through, I realized building hedge fund strategies is embarrassingly simple.
Bookmark this & read the self-improving trading agent guide in the article below.
• 00:00 - algorithmic trading basics
• 15:25 - quant strategy 1
• 2:05:08 - quant strategy 2

Andrej Karpathy just dropped a 6-hour course on how to build LLMs from scratch:
• 00:00 - Deep dive into LLMs like ChatGPT
• 03:31:23 - Building ChatGPT from scratch in live
• 05:27:43 - How to use LLMs (Karpathy method)
This course will replace a $90K Stanford LLM master’s degree.
Start watching today, then read how to become an AI engineer in article below.
Anthropic engineer:
"At Antropic, >80% of our engineers are building with self-improving loops. in 3-6 months, it will be 100%.
my agentic loops can run for hours without spending hundreds of $$$."
in 30-minute podcast, an Antropic engineer shows how to build the right spec for an agentic loop.
Loop + plan + PRDs + spec + markdown - that’s the secret stack.
Worth more than a $500 agentic course on the internet.
Watch it now, then read how quants are building trading loops from scratch.
this is f*cking gold
A senior Google engineer dropped a 424-page doc on agentic design patterns.
424 pages.
Most engineers bookmarked it and never opened it again.
if I had this a year ago, I would've shipped my first app in a day instead of 2 weeks
in the right hands, this changes everything:
Anthropic just dropped a 33-page blueprint for building effective AI agents. Zero theory, just production architecture patterns used by Claude, Coinbase, Stripe, and Intercom.
Every system follows one cycle: Perceive -> Decide -> Act -> Evaluate -> Repeat.
Here are the 5 core patterns to know:
Single Agent: One model in a loop. Solves 80% of problems, don't over-engineer it.
Sequential: Step-by-step handoffs. Predictable and easy to audit.
Parallel: Tasks split across agents at once, then merged. Built for speed.
Hierarchical: A supervisor agent managing a team of specialists.
Evaluator-Optimizer: A 2-agent loop (generator + critic) refining quality over 2-4 cycles.
The Bottom Line: Multi-agent architectures outperform single models by 90.2% on complex tasks. Just match your complexity to the value.
Read the manual, then check out the "Loop engineering" article below.

Raphael Townshend, Stanford AI PhD and founder of Atomic AI (Forbes 30 Under 30):
""Wall Street will pay you $500K a year to build these models. I'd rather teach them to you for free."
this free stanford lecture holds the entire "77% win rate, pure math" random forest the 2026 quant threads sell you. and the guy teaching it didn't take the wall street money either, townshend went on to found an ai drug-discovery company and land forbes 30 under 30.
at the board he builds it from scratch: one decision tree overfits, so you grow hundreds on random subsets of the data and features and average them. the errors cancel, the signal survives. that's the whole "100 ai agents auditing the market" idea, minus the marketing.
the √N feature rule, the out-of-bag error, the probability output, all of it is standard ensemble learning, taught free by stanford for years. random forests came out of leo breiman's public paper in 2001. the thread didn't discover it. it renamed it.
and here's the honest part the win rate hides. a model that scored 77% on past data is describing the past, not promising the future. ensembles cut variance, they don't turn a weak edge into a real one, and markets shift under the model in ways the training set never warned about. the lecture is free. knowing whether your 77% survives out of sample and on live capital is exactly the part the post skips."
this is f*cking dangerous

424 pages.

I read the whole thing.
Here are the 15 patterns that actually matter — explained in plain English, with exactly when to use each one ↓
One of the better agentic AI courses I've seen
Nearly 10 hours of great content. Covers LangChain, LangGraph, RAG, deepagents, guardrails, and more
Any other good Lang* resources out there for folks who are interested in learning?

New codebase, 200k lines, zero map? This repo builds the map.
Understand Anything is an open-source Claude Code plugin and multi-platform AI coding tool for turning codebases, docs, and knowledge bases into interactive knowledge graphs.
It helps you onboard, debug, and review changes faster by scanning your project with a multi-agent pipeline, extracting files/functions/classes/dependencies, and opening a visual dashboard you can search and explore.
Key features:
• Structural code graph – turns files, functions, classes, and dependencies into clickable nodes
• Guided tours – auto-generates architecture walkthroughs in dependency order
• Fuzzy + semantic search – lets you ask questions like which parts handle auth and find relevant graph results
• Diff impact analysis – shows which parts of the system your changes affect before commit
• Multi-platform install – works across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, and more
It’s open-source (MIT license).

KARPATHY JUST HANDED EVERY DEVELOPER THE EXACT FILE CLAUDE CODE NEEDED FROM DAY ONE.
65 lines. 110K stars. the cheat code for every broken workflow you've been blaming on the model.
if I had this a year ago, I would've shipped twice as fast.
make sure to bookmark it before it gets lost in your feed.
I was losing 2 hours a day to Claude rewriting code I didn't ask it to touch.
then I found CLAUDE. md.
90 seconds to set up. changed everything.
Karpathy identified 4 failure patterns Claude Code repeats constantly, in his own words:
→ silent assumptions: Claude makes decisions without checking with you
→ code bloat: 1000 lines written when 100 would do
→ collateral damage: Claude edits code unrelated to the task
→ no success criteria: Claude loops with no finish line
these aren't model failures. they're missing instructions.
CLAUDE. md gives Claude the 4 rules it needed from day one:
→ think before coding, state assumptions. ask before assuming.
→ simplicity first, minimum code. nothing speculative.
→ surgical changes, touch only what is required. nothing adjacent.
→ goal-driven execution, define success before starting. loop until verified.
65 lines. no build step. no framework. no dependencies.
just the 4 principles every developer already knew, but needed Karpathy to write down.
