Testimonials (1)
First most valuable: Practical data analysis tasks using AI without copy-pasting - but through my own application of what I learned. Second most valuable: definition of terms that everyone uses (skills, agents, MCP, API). Now that I understand them, I feel much more confident in trying AI Third: your input on how AI works, what it can do, what it can't (I will remember your 80/20 rule forever). Fourth: Having everything you taught us in written and accessible form.
