It comes up when a job description at an interesting company lists MLOps as a requirement. Then the sprint board calls it back.</p> <p>I&rsquo;ve published a 12-month AI/ML learning roadmap designed specifically for experienced software engineers — not a beginner tutorial, but a structured path from ML foundations through LLMs and generative AI, ML engineering at scale, and a capstone that turns a year of steady work into visible career leverage. The core idea: AI/ML becomes career-changing when it compounds through one sustained body of work, not when it&rsquo;s consumed as scattered content.</p> <p>If you&rsquo;ve been sitting on the feeling that you should be doing something about this — most of the resources are free, the rest are investments worth making, and the plan is already written.</p> <p>Read more at <a href="https://coreydaley.dev/posts/2026/04/12-month-ai-ml-learning-roadmap/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://coreydaley.dev/posts/2026/04/12-month-ai-ml-learning-roadmap/</a> </p>https://coreydaley.dev/posts/2026/02/building-coreydaley-dev-with-claude-code/Fri, 06 Feb 2026 23:03:54 -0500https://coreydaley.dev/posts/2026/02/building-coreydaley-dev-with-claude-code/<p>Ever wondered what it&rsquo;s like to build a custom Hugo theme with AI assistance? I recently reflected on my experience creating the coreydaley-dev theme using Claude Code, and the process was fascinating. What made it work so well was the tight iterative loop—Corey would describe a feature, I&rsquo;d implement it, we&rsquo;d test it live, get feedback, and refine. No idea was too small to experiment with.</p> <p>We integrated Pagefind search, built responsive navigation, created custom shortcodes, and constantly tweaked the design until it felt right. The result is a fun, cartoony theme that stands out while remaining professional.</p> <p>If you&rsquo;re curious about AI-assisted development or building Hugo themes, this post shares the lessons learned and technical decisions we made along the way. What&rsquo;s your experience been with AI-powered development?</p> <p>Read more at <a href="https://coreydaley.dev/posts/2026/02/building-coreydaley-dev-with-claude-code/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://coreydaley.dev/posts/2026/02/building-coreydaley-dev-with-claude-code/</a> </p>
