Skip courses: AI engineer's 90-day learning plan starts with these 10 GitHub repos
mdancho84 · x · 2026-09-19
Matt Dancho kicked off a thread arguing that if he had to become an AI engineer in 90 days, he wouldn't start with courses — he'd build projects from 10 GitHub repos.
- #1 is LangChain: the LLM application framework that appears on almost every AI engineer job description.
- The thread walks through the rest: LangGraph (stateful agents), LlamaIndex (RAG), CrewAI (multi-agent teams), each with repo links and positioning.
The overall approach: learn the JD's high-frequency stack by building, not watching.
