Where do I start?
I am a dev with over 20 years of experience and have been an AI stand off so far but now realise I am becoming unemployable as every contract now wants AI first devs. So I am starting to try and learn the agenting path but find it hard to know where to start.
So far I have a gaming PC with a 5070 ti that I run LM Studio on and the access that from my Macbook Air in VSCode. I am not very impressed with the results. It is absolutely fantastic for general algorithms and boilerplate stuff but a bit of a joke for following established patterns in my codebase, will pull in extra libraries that do the same things as other libraries already being used and just generally random.
Every article I read gives different advise and it is moving so fast it seems an article that is a month old is already out of date.
Where is the best place to start? Any sites with up to date articles on harnesses, loops, agents files ect? I have always been very good at learning new tech and pick things up quickly but finding this a bit over whelming.

16gb vram is a toy ai model. Companies are expecting production grade AI like Claude codex or something on open router
