Show HN: A free course from engineer to AI engineer, one Git tag per episode
A free YouTube-based course, "From engineer to AI engineer," teaches experienced software engineers with no generative-AI background to build a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipeline in eight episodes, with a second seven-episode series, "Prove it works," building an evaluation harness on the same repository. Each episode is one commit and one Git tag (s1e1–s1e8 and s2e1–s2e7), so checking out a tag reproduces the repository exactly as that episode leaves it. The series uses TypeScript, SQLite, curl and an HTTP server, answering with claude-sonnet-5-5 over a fictional 26,000-word corpus (Lantern Supply Co.) that includes deliberate traps such as near-identical product names and a policy changed in later release notes.
