The book rewards re-reading. On pass two, the ai connections become more explicit and surprisingly rigorous. (Side note: if you like WebGPU Compute, you’ll likely enjoy this too.)
Reviewer avatar
What surprised me: the advice doesn’t collapse under real constraints. The simulation sections feel field-tested.
Reviewer avatar
From a structural standpoint, the text creates a coherent ladder: definitions → examples → constraints → application. That’s why the machine learning arguments land.
Reviewer avatar
Not perfect, but very useful. The trailer angle kept it grounded in current problems.
