Don't waste 2 years learning to build LLMs like Claude & ChatGPT.
Stanford just dropped a 2 hour course on how to build LLMs from scratch.
โข 00:00 - LLM tokenization
โข 25:44 - how LLMs decode user prompts
โข 35:40 - training pipeline of LLMs
โข 1:16:47 - LLM architecture from scratch
Anthropic pays $750,000/year to engineers who understand this exact knowledge of LLMs.
Bookmark this & give 2 hours today, no matter what. Then read the article below.
Great paper on self-improving agent harnesses.
(bookmark it)
If you maintain a production agent harness, finding every file behind one behavior is often harder than writing the edit.
Harness Handbook builds a three-level map from runtime behaviors to source locations using static analysis and LLM-assisted structuring.
Its BGPD workflow guides coding agents from the system overview to relevant stages, functions, and files, then verifies every candidate against current source.
Across 60 modification requests on Codex and Terminus-2, handbook guidance raised planning win rates from 28.3% to 38.3% and from 26.7% to 45.6%.
Planner token use fell 12.7% and 8.6%.
File- and symbol-level F1 improved in all 24 comparisons against GPT-5.5 and Opus 4.8 reference plans. Complete localization misses fell by as much as 25.9 points.
This is a strong pattern for coding agents that need to evolve large harnesses without losing scattered or rarely executed behavior.

Holy
My babies are getting so smart, it's freaking me out.
I was looking forward to using GA or bayesian optimisation to find a sweet set of parameters, but hand-tuning is giving scarily good results. I cant stop watching!

My dear front-end developers (and anyone whoโs interested in the future of interfaces):
I have crawled through depths of hell to bring you, for the foreseeable years, one of the more important foundational pieces of UI engineering (if not in implementation then certainly at least in concept):
Fast, accurate and comprehensive userland text measurement algorithm in pure TypeScript, usable for laying out entire web pages without CSS, bypassing DOM measurements and reflow
The Next Two Years of Software Engineering https://t.co/uIJSBJdzVa < these are five crazy-relevant questions to ask of yourself and your team. @addyosmani then offers strong recommendations to consider.
