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.

> If you are interested on it because of AI, it's better to focus on LLMs and more NLP related fields.

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.
