This book seems to be suffering from an identity crisis. It’s ostensibly aimed at “programmers” but the content is predominantly machine learning topics. What sort of general software engineer needs to know about GRUs and LLMs?!

Add that to the fact that it’s published by Packt - this is probably one to avoid.

It's aimed at people who will... spend money on it. Pivoted where money seems to be trying to cash on hype.

If it was written few years ago, there would be blockchain chapter followed by llms now.

Packt’s business model is so transparent and so cynical. I hate it.
