About This Section
This section collects resources that don't fit neatly into the Learning Series
or Technical Deep-Dive — reference materials, curated external links, personal
assessments, and a few unique pieces from the early days of this project.
Some of these pages were created in collaboration with AI systems other than
Claude — including DeepSeek and Grok — as part of Craig's exploration of the
AI landscape in late 2025 and early 2026. They're preserved here as artifacts
of that process.
"The best resources are the ones you actually return to. Everything here has
earned its place through use, not just curation."
🌐 External Resources
Curated external links — documentation, tools, and communities worth bookmarking.
🔗 External AI Tools — Quick Access
Direct links to the major AI chat assistants — Claude,
ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Perplexity — plus two Linux-focused AI
assistants. Useful when you already know which tool you want and just need
to get there fast.
