Originally I was more interested in ML/DL theory and mech interp, so you can see I was more into theory. Recently, I am also curious and leaning towards learning more about how to build products with foundational models, such as LLM; for instance, recently I got the "LLM's Engineer Handbook [1]".

I do am interested in doing PhD in theoretical computer science, but I'm not too sure about AI PhD as I heard many (not-so-good) things about it.

Do you have any recomenndations that you have gone through that you think are helpful?
Out of curiosity, for people who have do projects in both Django and Ruby on Rails, which one would you prefer and why?
I learned Python more than 10 years ago, but later chose Rails to be my first web framework to learn, as I also wanted to learn more about Ruby, hence the question.
Thank you for your reply. In your other comment, you mention that you know Ruby relatively well. Would you recommend learning Ruby along side with Rails (i.e., learning Ruby in/with Rails), if I have some experience with other languages, such as Java, Python, C/C++, Lisp, and so on?
Also are there any Ruby AI libraries that you would recommend? Thanks!
> If you're doing AI stuff, any Python framework will be best.
I understand that AI stuff now is mainly Python. But is it possible to connect Rails with some Python program/service, is this one of the purpose of microservices?
Congrats OP and it looks really nice! Out of curiosity, may I ask what’s ur tech stack for developing this software? I’m also an aspiring app developer :) Thank you!
I use CL and am currently learning Clojure. I think there are generally more libraries for Clojure and better communities (in some way). Maybe it's due to the JVM, I dunno.
