nanoGPT
The simplest, fastest repository for training/finetuning models
NanoGPT is a minimalistic yet powerful reimplementation of GPT-style transformers created by Andrej Karpathy for educational and research use. It distills the GPT architecture into a few hundred lines of Python code, making it far easier to understand than large, production-scale implementations. The repo is organized with a training pipeline (dataset preprocessing, model definition, optimizer, training loop) and inference script so you can train a small GPT on text datasets like Shakespeare or custom corpora. It emphasizes readability and clarity: the training loop is cleanly written, and the code avoids heavy abstractions, letting students follow the architecture step by step. While simple, it can still train non-trivial models on modern GPUs and generate coherent text. The project has become widely used in tutorials, courses, and experiments for people learning how transformers work under the hood. -

Hacker Laws
Laws, theories, principles and patterns useful to developers
Laws, Theories, Principles and Patterns that developers will find useful. There are lots of laws which people discuss when talking about development. This repository is a reference and overview of some of the most common ones. Principles and laws to follow such as: If a program is made up of two parts, part A, which must be executed by a single processor, and part B, which can be parallelised, then we see that adding multiple processors to the system executing the program can only have a limited benefit. It can potentially greatly improve the speed of part B - but the speed of part A will remain unchanged. Also, theories like The Broken Windows Theory, which suggests that visible signs of crime (or lack of care of an environment) lead to further and more serious crimes (or further deterioration of the environment). Conway's Law suggests that the technical boundaries of a system will reflect the structure of the organisation. These among others, are featured in this project. -
