This week's reading
How to Get Better at AI by Asking AI
Use your own AI as a coach: ask it which of the eight levels of AI adoption you're at, replay a finished project one level up, then have it teach you the next step. Prompts are in the Week 6 lesson.

Claude Frontier Academy: Anthropic's Claude Frontier Academy (announced Oct 2, 2026) is a $100M program to train 10,000 "Frontier Deployed Engineers" by the end of 2027, starting with cohorts from Accenture, Deloitte, McKinsey and others: a multi-day in-person program, then a 12-week residency leading a real project. It is by employer nomination only, so you can't apply directly. The point for us: deployed-engineer roles, building AI systems inside real organisations, are a fast-growing career path, and the skills in this course (context, getting work online, checking what AI made) are the starting ones.
