LLM Evals: Why "It Looks Good" Isn't Enough

§ 01

The syllabus

Each domain is split into modules, from fundamentals to the internals senior engineers know. Pick one and go deep.

  1. AI Engineering

    1 of 1 published

    Build real applications with LLMs, agents and tools.

    • LLM Application Evaluation
    • Loop Engineering· soon
  2. System Design

    Coming soon

    Design systems that are fast, scalable and reliable.

  3. More on the way

    Languages, frameworks and more, taught the same way.

§ 02

Watch it. Read it. Prove it.

Every lesson gives you three ways into the same idea, because understanding sticks when you see it, read it and use it.

  1. 01 · Watch

    A short animated explainer, narrated, with Vora as your guide: diagrams move, data flows, code runs.

  2. 02 · Read

    What are LLM evals?

    LLM evals are systematic, repeatable tests that judge an LLM, or a system built on one such as an agent, against clear criteria. They're how you know an AI app works, instead of hoping it does.

    A written deep dive at your own pace, with code that has been run before it was published.

  3. 03 · Practice

    A teammate tries a new prompt on the same five questions they always use and says it's better. What's the main problem?

    A short quiz that explains every answer, right or wrong.

Questions

Who is Code Stoa for?

Engineers preparing for AI Engineering and System Design interviews, and engineers building real systems who want to know why things work, not just what to type. Both get the same thing: one topic, understood properly.

Is it free?

Yes. Every lesson, video and quiz is free. No paywalls, no pop-ups.

Do I need an account?

No, there's no sign-up. When you mark a lesson as done, that's saved in your browser only, so it stays on this device and nothing is sent to us.

What does each lesson include?

An animated, narrated video with captions, a written deep dive with callouts and key takeaways, code that is run in a sandbox before it's published, and a short quiz.

How are lessons made?

Each lesson starts from the author's own notes. Every claim is checked, every code example is run in a sandbox, and the author reviews and signs off on each lesson before it goes live.

How often do new lessons come out?

There's no fixed schedule: new lessons are added as they pass review. The RSS feed, linked in the footer, announces each one.

How do I get help or send feedback?

Email support@codestoa.com if something isn't working, like a video that won't play or a broken link. Email feedback@codestoa.com to report a mistake in a lesson or suggest a topic. The author reads every message.
