How to Solve It with Code

Hi Jeremy from fast.ai / Answer.AI here. This is our first course in a couple of years, and it's quite a departure from anything we've done before.

Let me know if you have any questions about it.

Hi Jeremy, which days of the week are the lectures on? And what can an experienced dev who's already been using AI to do coding (I use Cursor currently) hope to learn? Your video doesn't give much away regarding this. Can you say what your special technique is so that I can decide whether it's worth signing up (if it's something I've not tried before)?

Lectures will be Tues and Fri US time I think -- although with people joining from all around the world I imagine a large % will watch them asynchronously.

There's a longer video here that describes the approach we'll be teaching in more detail: https://youtu.be/e9tL_Eg3fpM . tbh it's a bit hard to describe without actually doing it a few times in practice!

Our Answer.AI team are all experienced coders who have been using AI quite a bit before, but many of them have been learning new things as we've built this approach. So I think it can be useful to experienced devs -- but this is the first time we're doing this, so I can't really say for sure ahead of time who it will/won't help. It's all a bit of an experiment, which is why we've made it so cheap for this first version.

Thank you.

Hey Jeremy! Is “solveit” a framework, a platform, or an approach to use existing LLM offerings (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude) in a more effective way? I’m wondering how integrated is it with existing IDEs (e.g., neovim, vs code, etc.). Definitely eager to learn more. Keep up the great work!
