To learn from nanochat, one should build it from scratch without copy-pasting

What is the best way for somebody to learn from it? Is it to just delete all the code and try to reimplement from scratch, try to add modifications to it? That's a great question. Basically it's about 8,000 lines of code that takes you through the entire pipeline. I would probably put it on the right monitor. If you have two monitors, you put it on the right. You want to build it from scratch, you build it from the start. You're not allowed to copy-paste, you're allowed to reference, you're not allowed to copy-paste.
