Watch Jeremy Howard close-read a chapter of Eric Ries's latest book in a way that was impossible until a few months ago.

Using an LLM, Jeremy sets up necessary context and shows how to create handoff notes to maintain continuity across chapters.  He follows rabbit holes that interest him, seeks counterexamples when skeptical, and asks how the principles from the book can apply to his own startup.  Jeremy shares his process with Eric and they both reflect on the experience.
