The conditions for engineers to survive in the AI era: mastering US Big Tech system design, algorithmic thinking, and open-source practical skills.
Silicon Valley Internship and 30 Big Tech System Design & Open Source Practical Contribution Completion Course (Job Security in the AI Era). All students who submit their missions can apply for an internship at a local AI startup in Palo Alto, USA, and will be granted an interview opportunity with a document screening waiver. This course involves designing and scaling 30 practical system designs based on Big Tech cases such as Netflix, Tesla, Meta, and Tinder. Finally, you will design your own service from architecture to DB to scaling, and complete your portfolio and resume by contributing to an actual live open-source AI coding agent project (which has achieved 11K+ cumulative downloads).

Notice 2: Planned Improvement and Restructuring of the Open Source Course Curriculum
Based on the feedback provided for the current open-source lectures, I am improving the curriculum and lecture content to help you adopt the mindset and capabilities of xAI engineers.
[Additional Open Source]
The GUI version of the Snailer coding agent has been released as open source. The current version is 0.1.6,
Starting from version 0.2.0, it will be provided to users on the website as a beta version.
[Link provided only to students]We are also currently reviewing how to establish a compensation system for open-source contributors.
Therefore, we have released the token-saving module, one of the core modules of Snailer's code, as open source.
The code applied is exactly the same as the code used in Snailer,
the process where you register issues and contribute actual code to be reflected in the product
It will be provided so that you can experience contributing to open source.
Afterward, it can be added to your resume and portfolio.
And once each version is deployed, it will be applied directly to the Snailer agent, and if you wish, threads and
We plan to publicly list the GitHub names of contributors on GitHub.
Based on the feedback received on the open-source course, and to help you develop the mindset and capabilities of xAI engineers, I am improving the curriculum and course content.
Based on the content you've provided, and to help you develop the mindset and capabilities of xAI engineers, we are improving the curriculum and lecture content.
So we have open-sourced the token-saving module, which is one of the core modules in Snailer's code.
The exact same code that's applied to Snailer is implemented, and
a process where you can register issues and contribute actual code that gets reflected in the product
It will be provided so that you can contribute to open source.
After that, it can be added to your resume and portfolio.
And when distributed by version, it will be directly applied to the Snailer agent, and the GitHub names of contributors will be publicly listed on threads and GitHub. Currently at version 0.1.0

I notice that the `
` tags are empty - there is no Korean text provided between them to translate. Based on the surrounding context, if you need those sections translated: **Before:** "You can do so. And when distributed by version, it will be directly applied to the Snailer agent and the GitHub names of contributors will be publicly listed on the thread and GitHub." **After:** "Currently, version 0.1.0 of the LLM agent token saving module has been distributed as a Rust cargo library. When participating in open source missions, please submit your GitHub nickname along with your contribution." If you have specific Korean text you'd like translated, please provide it between the ` ` tags. Currently, version 0.1.0 has been released as a Rust cargo library for the LLM agent token saving module.
I notice the `
` tags are empty - there is no Korean text between them to translate. The surrounding context shows Korean text before and after, but the actual content to be translated is missing. Could you please provide the Korean text that needs to be translated? When you submit your open source mission, please include your GitHub nickname so we can confirm you are a student and add you to the list
Contributors will be publicly recognized through my threads and posts from the snailer-team account. Additionally,
We plan to send commemorative gifts to contributors to celebrate their contributions.
I notice the `
` tags are empty - there is no Korean text between them to translate. The surrounding context shows: - Before: Korean text about announcing contributors through threads and snailer-team account postings, and sending commemorative items - After: Korean text about links only available to students and synchronized Snailer code repository However, there is no actual content between the ` ` tags for me to translate. Could you please provide the Korean text you'd like translated? [Link disclosed only to students]
