AI is a rapidly evolving field, and no one here has all the answers. We value humility, openness to feedback, and a willingness to revise your thinking as you learn. Strong opinions are welcome when they are paired with curiosity and respect for evidence. Primary outcomes Your success will be measured by:
  1. Independent problem-solving and executionYou take goals, investigate unknowns, evaluate options, and deliver solutions without waiting for extensive guidance.
  2. Fast skill growth You significantly expand your technical range within your first months through hands-on work and deliberate learning.
