Agree, having a base is neccesary, i mean the LLM is like a very patient tuttor.

yeah agreed, opened it tonight. the abstract algebra primer before the secp256k1.c walk is what makes llm tutoring more useful too. once you can name what you're looking at (jacobian coords, modinv64, ecmult_const) you stop asking "what does this file do" and start asking targeted things like "why is this constant time"

Same, though LLMs are good enough now that they can hold your hand if you want to learn how it works.
