The Take

This is a focused, practical take on 'LLM literacy'—the landing page teases live, sandboxed puzzles (forensics-style prompts like a React component causing an infinite render) and a certification badge you can earn. It sells a clear promise: train logic over syntax by forcing manual fixes without Copilot. What I want to see next is a public demo, broader language/stack coverage beyond React, and evidence of how challenges scale in difficulty.

Target Audience

Junior to mid-level frontend developers, code reviewers, engineering hires and anyone who wants to stop over-relying on AI-generated code

Post Description

I noticed juniors are copy-pasting code they don't understand. I built a platform where you have to fix broken AI code manually.

Trained YOLOX from scratch to avoid Ultralytics (iOS aircraft detect)

This is a practical, no-nonsense play: someone trained YOLOX from scratch, released MIT-licensed weights, and packaged a path toward running it on iOS. The value is procedural — dataset curation, training recipe, and an export/convert-for-iOS pipeline — but it's not a conceptual breakthrough; I'd like to see clear mAP numbers, model size and on-device latency benchmarks before recommending it for production.
