Architects build models from cardboard; AI researchers build them from code. These prototypes are not engineering models, subjected to serious real-world testing. They’re just “sketches” to give a sense of how something might work.

To develop expertise in AI, you can’t just read papers; you have to read other people’s code. And you can’t just read it, you have to re-implement it. Part of your understanding is gained only through the practice of coding itself.
