jbarbier · x · 2026-09-19
Cyberiad Labs, founded by Holberton co-founder Julian Barbier, finished week 1 of its first free prompt engineering cohort, with learners now saying they'll verify every chatbot answer. Courses are free, 4 weeks each, 4 days a week, 90 minutes a day; cohort 2 starts November 2, 2026.
The course page cites supporting data: 71% of business leaders (Microsoft/LinkedIn 2024) would hire a less experienced person with AI skills over one without; a Harvard/BCG study found 700+ consultants produced 40% better work with GPT-4; a Stanford/MIT study showed +34% output for the newest support agents; and PwC's 2026 AI Jobs Barometer found AI-skill jobs pay 62% more.
