About brewYourAgent

What this is

brewYourAgent is a free library about what a working engineer needs in order to ship machine learning and AI systems, and to get hired doing it. It is written by a practising software engineer, and it began as a set of personal study notes.

It grew into three structured learning paths and more than two hundred posts because the material available elsewhere tended to be either academic and disconnected from production, or shallow and disconnected from hiring. This is the version in between: concrete, honest about tradeoffs, and tied to the questions interviewers actually ask.

What is here

  • Three learning paths: for people with no programming background, for students and early programmers, and for experienced software engineers. Each is a sequence of modules with prerequisites, deliverables, and milestone gates.
  • A library of posts across ML foundations, AI and agent engineering, MLOps, system design, interview preparation, and plain-English AI literacy.
  • A glossary of the terms that come up in real engineering conversations, including the newer vocabulary around agents, harnesses, and post-training.

How the content is written

Every post is written to be read by a practitioner, not a search engine. Posts open with the direct answer, show the idea working in code where it helps, name the mistakes people actually make, and end with something to build. Fast-moving topics carry a "last reviewed" note and get revisited as the tooling moves.

AI tools help with drafting and editing. The judgment about what is true, what matters, and what to leave out is human, and so is responsibility for the mistakes. Where a post states a number or a claim about a model or a tool, it is meant to be checkable against a primary source; if something is wrong or has gone stale, it is worth telling us about.
