Andrej Karpathy's advice for beginners getting into AI:
"Put in 10,000 hours of work."
He's right.
But most builders waste the first 1,000 hours on the wrong things.
They write code before understanding context windows.
They build agents before understanding token limits.
They ship products before understanding what models can't do.
The builders who compound fastest aren't the ones who code the most.
They're the ones who understood the fundamentals before touching a single line.
These are the 10 concepts that make the first 1,000 hours count โ

If you haven't read it, the new essay by the CEO of Anthropic, @DarioAmodei is worth your time.
He routinely sets the standard of the conversations we should be having around AI and larger society.

One of my favorite lessons Iโve learnt from working with smart people:
Action produces information. If youโre unsure of what to do, just do anything, even if itโs the wrong thing. This will give you information about what you should actually be doing.
Sounds simple on the surface - the hard part is making it part of your every day working process.
The more religious the less educated and the poorer the higher the birth rate.
How on religion high on education and high on income has the lowest birth rate.
