A structured place for training plans, assignments, useful resources, and submission handoff. This replaces the scattered Google Doc plus Telegram-only flow with a cleaner interface while still keeping Telegram as the final delivery channel for now.
Train interns to work with stronger engineering habits, clearer communication, and better judgment when building backend and AI systems.
Interns learn from the plan here, work from the assignment briefs, then submit GitHub repositories and report documents through Telegram.
Telegram submissions are directed to @samwondim with a structured message so every review arrives in the same format.
Set expectations for code quality, Git hygiene, issue framing, and how to communicate progress clearly.
Build confidence with service structure, API design, data flow, and how to keep systems observable.
Learn to reason about model behavior, retrieval pipelines, evaluation loops, and product reliability.
Ship a complete assignment with clear repo structure, documentation, and a short written report.
Create a focused backend service with a clean repository, documented API surface, and basic tests or validation.
Break down a retrieval-backed application, explain likely failure modes, and propose improvements to trust and observability.
Ship a small but complete product or systems prototype that demonstrates engineering judgment from planning to delivery.
This keeps the current Telegram workflow, but makes the handoff more consistent. Interns can prepare a clean submission message, open Telegram with the metadata prefilled, then attach the report document directly in the chat.
