Describes building a public Python + AI teaching effort that reached thousands of learners (60,000 enrolled, >200,000 views) by producing and maintaining 125+ Spanish examples and open-source repos, plus conference demos and translated series. Uses retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), MCP, LChain, and Pident, runs local tests to find real incompatibilities, opens PRs and fixes bugs in an agent framework, and publishes projects and accepted contributions with working or documented demos.
