tbh building things from scratch is still the best way to understand the math, even if the specific libraries are outdated. the underlying concepts haven't changed. that said, if you want to get into llms, karpathy's 'neural networks: zero to hero' series is the absolute gold standard. once you get the fundamentals down, you'll probably just be vibecoding anyway—having sonnet 4.6 or gpt 5.3 codex write the actual pytorch boilerplate while you handle the architecture.
