It appears DeepSeek may have sparked an unexpected surge in interest running AI models locally (see graph of Google Trends for Ollama, a tool for running models locally, below).

Are you a web developer curious about how AI/ML and LLMs actually work? Check out this talk I gave yesterday at CFE that walks you through a real LLM entirely in JavaScript. You can even debug it using browser DevTools!

When you’re building with AI, the most important model is the one in your head, not your code. A strong mental model helps you build more effectively. In this video, I demo four techniques using Spreadsheets-are-all-you-need to sharpen your mental model of LLM mechanics.

My AI class teaching LLM architecture using the humble spreadsheet is trending on Maven's Data & Engineering track! Maybe spreadsheets really are all you need...

P.S. Good news for last-minute signups. Maven has extended their promotion one more day. Link below.

This is analogous to "Go-To-Market Fit" in the book "Survival to Thrival": How well can you articulate & consistently win in the market? They dedicate a whole chapter on building that playbook and call it the missing link between Product-Market Fit and growth.

Cue the obligatory "there are only 2 hard problems in computer science" joke. Gentle reminder from via today's Money Stuff newsletter that computers can make mistakes without AI.
