Listen "What I Cannot Create, I Do Not Understand"
Episode Synopsis
Feynman's Wisdom Applied to AI LearningBackgroundFeynman helped create atomic bomb and investigated Challenger disasterChallenger investigation revealed bureaucracy prioritized power over engineering solutionsTwo key phrases found on his blackboard at death:"What I cannot create, I do not understand""Know how to solve every problem that has been solved"Applied to Pragmatic AI Labs CoursesWhat I Cannot CreateBuild token processor before using BedrockImplement basic embeddings before production modelsWrite minimal GPU kernels before CUDA librariesCreate raw model inference before frameworks Deploy manual servers before cloud servicesLearning Solved ProblemsStudy successful AI architecturesReimplement ML papersAnalyze deployment patternsMaster optimization techniquesLearn security boundariesImplementation StrategyBuild core concepts from scratchMove to frameworks only after raw implementationBreak systems intentionally to understand themBuild instead of memorizeEx: Build S3 bucket/Lambda vs. memorizing for certificationPlatform SupportInteractive labs availableSource code starter kitsMultiple languages: Python, Rust, SQL, Bash, ZigFocus on first principlesCommunity-driven learning approachKey TakeawayFocus on understanding through creation, leveraging proven solutions as foundation for innovation.
