claude code turned my dead old android into an iPhone running iOS 16…
it sat in a drawer for 3 years. 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of storage that was always full, a battery that died by lunch, and whatsapp took 9 seconds to open
claude code went through it piece by piece:
> memory · turned unused storage into virtual RAM. 2 GB became 8 GB, and apps stopped reloading every time i switched between them
> storage · took an old memory card from the same drawer and merged it into the phone's own storage, so android sees it as one drive. 16 GB became 128 GB, and apps install straight onto it like it's built in
> speed · disabled 38 bloat apps and stopped 21 of them from secretly starting in the background
> battery · switched everything to true black dark mode and killed the trackers waking the phone up all night. a full day on one charge
> ads · set up a private DNS that blocks ads across every app and browser on the phone, no extra app needed
then it rebuilt the whole look: iOS home screen, control center, the settings app, the dock. even the "about" page says iPhone now
boots in 14 seconds instead of 52. whatsapp opens instantly
my friend asked which iPhone it was. i told him it was the android from my drawer
took me one evening and i didn't write a single line of code
the whole thing was 1 prompt. it's in the comments, and that phone in your drawer gets a second life ↓
If you want to become top-tier with AI coding agents, then learn these 10 testing techniques (save now):
1. Test oracle: The rule that says pass or fail. If one agent writes the code and the rule, it can make the same mistake in both. Then the test passes on wrong code. Write the rule yourself, or get a second check.
2. End-to-end test: An agent opens your app in a real browser. It clicks & types like a person. Then it checks the screen. These tests are slow, so keep very few for the key flows.
3. Mocks vs integration: A mock is a fake stand-in for a real service. It shows your code asked the right thing. It can't show what the real service will answer. An integration test talks to the real service, or a close copy. Use both.
4. Preview environment: Each pull request gets its own live copy of the app. You click around & run tests there before the code joins the main app.
5. Unhappy paths: The happy path is when all goes well. Unhappy paths are the rest: bad input, a page with no data, a user trying to see someone else's stuff. Test these on purpose. Bugs hide where no one looks.
6. Regression: Something that worked, then broke after a change. Keep your old tests & run them again. When you fix a bug, add a test for it so it can't sneak back.
7. Flaky test: Same code. Sometimes it passes. Sometimes it fails. Timing, shared data, and the network are common causes. Fix it. If you can't yet, set it aside and track it.
8. Test isolation: Each test makes its own data & cleans up after. One test should never need another to run first. If tests share data, a change in run order can break them.
9. Test evidence: Save screenshots, videos, or traces of each run. Good tools record a trace or replay you can step through. When a test fails, you see what it saw.
10. Spec-driven testing: Write down what the feature should do. Then write tests from that list. Tests written by reading the code copy the code's bugs.
If you learn AI Security Engineering, you will never be unemployed again.

LeetCode, but for ML and AI.
We have LeetCode for DSA.
But where's the LeetCode for AI engineers?
This is not a 10-hour YouTube tutorial.
Your ordinary "Build an AI agent in 5 minutes" course.
I mean actual engineering challenges:
→ Implement backpropagation without PyTorch.
→ Build a tokenizer from scratch.
→ Write your own attention mechanism.
→ Build RAG without relying on frameworks.
→ Create an AI agent loop from scratch.
→ Learn how to evaluate and debug AI systems.
So I built something I wish existed when I started learning AI.
🔗 https://t.co/Q2FHIjaPI5
The idea is simple:
1. Understand the problem.
2. Learn the math behind it.
3. Implement it yourself.
4. Run the tests.
5. Actually understand what you built.
From ML fundamentals to transformers, LLMs, RAG, and AI agents.
✅ 100% open source
✅ Completely free
✅ No paywalls or signups
✅ Learn by building, not just watching
LeetCode taught a generation of engineers how to solve algorithms.
Maybe it's time we had something similar for building AI.
If you're serious about becoming an AI engineer, stop just calling APIs.
Start understanding what's behind them.

💯 Completely Opensource and FREE with 71K stars
P.S. Would you use a daily LeetCode-style challenge for AI engineering?
If you learn Forward Deployed Engineering, you will never be unemployed again.
I’d do this.
Stage 1: Enterprise Identity & Access (The Gatekeeper)
- Learn: OAuth2, SAML, OIDC, SCIM provisioning, Row-Level Security (RLS) and multi-tenant data isolation.
- Practice: Build an auth bridge connecting your AI app to a simulated customer's Okta/Azure AD, ensuring User A can only query data their specific RBAC role permits.
- Why: No SSO and strict data isolation means no enterprise contract. Security review is the first gate.
Stage 2: Air-Gapped & VPC Deployments (The Environment)
- Learn: Kubernetes (K8s), Helm, Terraform, private container registries, air-gapped networking and egress filtering.
- Practice: Script a one-click Terraform/Helm deployment of your entire AI stack into a simulated customer VPC with zero egress to the public internet.
- Why: Banks, hospitals and governments don't let your AI talk to the public cloud. You must deploy in their basement.
Stage 3: Legacy Data Extraction & ETL (The Fuel)
- Learn: OCR, unstructured PDF parsing, mainframe DB connectors, Apache Airflow, dbt and data reconciliation.
- Practice: Build a pipeline that ingests 10 years of messy, scanned customer invoices and turns them into a clean, queryable hybrid (vector + relational) store.
- Why: Enterprise AI starves without clean data. The customer's data will always be a mess.
Stage 4: Secure RAG & Permission-Filtered Retrieval (The Brain)
- Learn: Hybrid search, document-level access control, citation grounding, metadata tagging and abstention logic.
- Practice: Build a RAG pipeline where the LLM dynamically filters out retrieved chunks that the specific user asking the question doesn't have clearance to see.
- Why: An AI that leaks HR salaries or M&A docs to a junior employee is an immediate breach of contract.
Stage 5: MCP & Legacy System Integration (The Hands)
- Learn: Model Context Protocol (MCP), SOAP/REST translation, web scraping, headless browsers and API rate-limit handling.
- Practice: Build an MCP server that lets an LLM safely query and write to the customer's 15-year-old on-prem SAP or Oracle instance without exposing raw credentials.
- Why: Agents are useless if they can't touch the customer's actual systems of record.
Stage 6: AI Guardrails & PII Redaction (The Shield)
- Learn: NER (Named Entity Recognition), deterministic regex filtering, LLM output validation, UUID masking, and audit logging.
- Practice: Build a middleware proxy that intercepts LLM inputs/outputs, masks SSNs and credit cards with UUIDs before they hit the model, and restores them post-generation.
- Why: Compliance teams will kill the deal if a single PII token hits an external frontier API.
Stage 7: Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) Workflows (The Trust)
- Learn: Temporal {dot} io, webhook routing, state machines, durable execution and UI approval gates.
- Practice: Build a workflow where the AI drafts a $50k purchase order, but physically pauses execution until a human manager clicks "Approve" in Slack or Teams.
- Why: Enterprises adopt AI only when humans remain legally accountable for the final action.
Stage 8: Edge & On-Prem Inference (The Silicon)
- Learn: vLLM, TensorRT-LLM, Ollama, GPU partitioning (MIG), and local quantized models (AWQ/GGUF).
- Practice: Deploy a quantized 8B model on a single customer-owned GPU node to handle highly sensitive triage locally without network latency.
- Why: Sometimes the data is too hot to move. You must bring the model to the data.
Stage 9: Observability & Customer Health (The Pulse)
- Learn: OpenTelemetry, Langfuse, custom Grafana dashboards, usage telemetry and cost-attribution.
- Practice: Build a "Customer Health" dashboard showing the exact cost-savings, time-saved and token-spend the AI has generated for their specific team this month.
- Why: If the customer doesn't see the ROI quantified, they will churn at renewal.
Stage 10: Evals on Customer Data (The Proof)
- Learn: Golden dataset creation, trajectory grading, shadow testing, and LLM-as-a-judge calibration.
- Practice: Take 100 real past customer support tickets, run them through your agent in shadow mode, and prove to the VP of Support that it resolved 80% accurately.
- Why: Generic benchmarks mean nothing to a buyer. You must prove the AI works on *their* messy data.
Stage 11: Technical Discovery & Scoping (The Translation)
- Learn: Stakeholder interviewing, architecture diagramming, SOW (Statement of Work) writing and expectation management.
- Practice: Translate a vague "we want AI for supply chain" executive request into a scoped, 4-week technical deployment plan with defined, measurable success metrics.
- Why: FDEs are the translators between revenue (Sales) and reality (Engineering).
Stage 12: The Handoff & Self-Serve Admin (The Scale)
- Learn: Technical writing, runbooks, admin portals, automated onboarding and chaos testing.
- Practice: Write a deployment runbook and build an admin UI so the customer's internal IT team can manage the AI stack, update prompts and view logs without calling you.
- Why: Your leverage is measured by how little the customer needs you for day-to-day operations.
AI labs build the engine. FDEs build the roads.
The modern Forward Deployed Engineer builds the secure, durable nervous system that connects frontier intelligence to legacy reality.
