I strongly recommend that everyone interested in building AI applications, automation, and FDE carefully read this article through.
Most beginners fall into the trap of either getting stuck in mathematical formulas and underlying model training and unable to extricate themselves, or only knowing how to write Prompts in a chat box, without ever touching an API or backend.
