This is wonderful. Can I ask how you created it? Stack used and sour e code? I'd love to create something like this to help visualize things I'm working with currently.

Would you recommend getting an MSCS for getting into AI?

Couldn't agree more, I feel that this is extremely under emphasized. Meetups and networking events are the best places to get your foot in the door imo. It's the easiest way to separate yourself from the troves of resumes a recruiter may be sifting through on a daily basis, bypass all the politics and nuances of looking perfect on paper, and in the very least be set up for an interview (where you can prove your skills through explanation and whiteboards).

I'm biased though because I got my first two jobs this way.

I'm curious about what the common deficiencies that your encountering are. Do you mean lack of knowledge and testing and more applicable skills?
