#223 - AI for JavaScript Developers: What You Actually Need to Know

Develop Yourself

I started off 2025 knowing jack sh*t about LLMs besides how to ask Chat-GPT questions.

Since then, I've built a multi-agent app for work, learned some linear algebra to understand how LLMs work at a basic level and started using a new tech stack for working with these LLMS.

In this episode, I lay out the technologies you need to learn to keep up with AI as a full stack JavaScript developer and a project to up skill yourself.

Resources mentioned:

3Blue1Brown's Linear Algebra series

LLM Engineer's Handbook

Building a Large Language Model (from scratch)

I'll be working with 20 developers in a 30 day style cohort to up-skill with AI.
