Session Summary

Day 18 completed the last major structural gap in the site — the resources/ directory. The session opened with two outstanding issues from Day 17 already resolved by Craig before the session began. The pre-refactor content was inventoried, candidate files were identified and moved, and resources-index.html was built and validated. The landing page (AI-NEW.html) was updated with a Resources card and footer link. The site is now fully linked from the landing page with no broken navigation.

Pi Day bonus: Day 18 falls on March 14 (3.14). BU ITS celebrated a day early on March 13. Priorities.

Pre-Session Work (Craig)

Both outstanding issues from Day 17 were resolved before the session started:

Pre-Refactor Content Review

Inventoried pre-refactor/ai-prev/ against current site. Files already in use via TMA/AI/ and TMA/LLM/ were excluded. Candidates evaluated:

Landing Page Updated

Observations

The pre-refactor review turned out to be quick and clean — most of the substantive technical content was already in the new site via the TMA/ directory links. What remained was a small set of unique pieces: personal assessments, an AI self-portrait, a learning companion, and the Databricks PDF. Exactly the right material for a resources section.

The External Resources section of resources-index.html adds something new to the site — nine curated external links including the original transformer paper, Stanford CS224N, Hugging Face, Ollama, and the CLI tool repositories. This is content that wasn't in the pre-refactor site at all.

With resources/ complete, all four sections linked from the landing page are now live: Learning Series, Technical Deep-Dive, Collaboration Hub, and Resources. The site structure established on Day 1 is fully realized.
