You accept that what made this career rewarding (besides money) is gone and pick up a hobby that gets you into flow state. That's why I've picked up drawing again :)

That was my first thought. Ironic they don't want to read LLM responses in their searches but they expect us to read their LLM article about it.

I can see it now: "You're absolutely right — I shouldn't have instructed the baristas to add antifreeze to the coffee to make it sweeter."

Joking aside, what does this prove? That you might as well forget about the dream of quitting your AI slop corporate job to open a quaint coffee shop because soon we'll be overrun with AI coffee shops under cutting humans?

People can spend their time as they choose, but if you feel the need to post about it online don't be surprised if someone offers their opinion. If they don't want feedback then don't call attention to it.

The problem is AI is being pushed and used as the equivalent of using a chess engine to tell you the best move during a match.

Maybe there's a way AI can be used to make developers better but it mostly just seems to be the equivalent of grand masters saying how great vibe playing is because now they can play 1000x more games every day. But don't worry, they're still steering the games.

Yeah, for real. Imagine being so addicted to the AI slot machine that you can't be without it for 10 hours.

If you feel the need to babysit your employees you probably need new employees.

Why are your seniors not unblocking your juniors? And if your seniors are complacent maybe they just need a good challenge.

Neither the government nor an ad agency needs to know where I am, no matter how "rough" the data is. It's none of their business.

This isn't about doing "serious" work, it's about making ChatGPT the first thing you interact with in the day (and hopefully something you'll keep coming back to)

Wow, no responses? I guess it depends what they will use it for. IPads are probably the easiest, could save some money with an older or refurbished model. Or get a cheap Kindle Fire tablet. Both are good enough for email, Facebook, and some basic gaming.

I don't get the point of book stores when there's libraries.

My local library let's me reserve books online, and if they don't have a book, they usually have it at another library in the county and will ship it to my local library and hold it for me.

And this all costs me $0 (yeah, okay, taxes, but you know what I mean)

I'm a fan of learning enough to know how to get going, then just start building. In the process of building you'll get stuck and have to look for answers.

As for are there better tools, I don't know what your needs are. Is this for fun? Do you have a budget? Are you doing this for resume building? It's not a question of what's "best", but rather what's best for your needs.

I suppose any disease isn't that bad when you have round the clock medical care pumping you full of medicine.
