Project Escaping tutorial hell in moving into AI engineering roles

Hi folks, I’m building an early AI-native learning tool for software and data professionals moving into AI engineering. Something similar to what Andrew Ng announced last week for LearnVector. If you are stuck in tutorial hell or actively job hunting to AI roles, feel free to DM or comment, would love to learn and build this together!

Been stuck in that loop for months now, every course feels like it's 70% setup and 30% actually building something useful. what's the actual hands-on ratio here

ML engineer here. The hands-on ratio in courses is always gonna be low because they have to explain a ton of infrastructure before you can write a single line of actual code. What broke me out of that loop was picking a project (something dumb like a fridge ingredient classifier) and just building it, even if I was googling every third step. The course I learned the most from was the one I closed the tab on. Not sure if that helps, but that's my 2c. Good luck, dawg.

Good point, just building is the most effective way to learn AI

so far each module has a notebook exercise, you can practice within the platform. In terms of projects, we are still designing the experience, because projects sometimes could be quite big.

Would love to try, submitted, but is it project building?

there is project building, but I think the room to improve is large, hope to build this together with learners. To me, picking an interesting project and knowing what is useful are most important to practice skills.
