Started typing out a long response, but if your eyes are open to the possibilities, then we are on the same page. Have a good day

@CliffsEsport @cczona Good to know, but OP said they don't play videogames which is why I used it in the analogy

@cczona Generally reasonable take. Respectfully though, unlike videogames, LLM usage can boost productivity which is the bottom line that most (all?) employers will likely factor in.

I wholly understand a desire to do the things that make you happy and bring you joy. With that said, I would make sure that your career path is completely insulated from AI (ie you are doing a trade or own your own business).

Otherwise, avoiding LLMs 'on principle' doesn't actually prepare you for the world we are moving towards

@ben Great post. was halfway to setting it up b4 Claude talked me out of it lol. I have it in my backlog for a future wknd project and subscribed to the blog

Goals for the week: Buy Claude Code membership (and use it inside of podman-container) to see if it can replace the API pricing that is starting to rise over time. The main downside is that I've gotten accustomed to LibreChat, but I am looking forward to learning about Claude Skills et al

@cinimodev Hello from the abyss. Just read the last 2 weeks or so of entries.

Regarding the question on the Dailys... initially I was skipping them, but now I realize it does give more color to the projects you tackle. There's something satisfying about hearing your kids appreciating your self-hosting hacks for example. Also, I think the dailys force you to find gratitude every day which is helpful when you've otherwise had a shitty week.

Related/unrelated re: the question on what to do w/ downtime for the next few months, I would focus on maintenance to optimize things better when back to regularly scheduled program. Things like whether YT university has any free/cheap solutions for the wife's van, but also, include yourself in the maintenance... have you seen a Dr. about my chronic leg pain? How do you make sure you feel loved even tho families unconsciously overlook the Dad during stressful times? You are the engine for your family's wellbeingn and you need to make sure you are running smoothly as well.

Anyways, enjoyed being a fly on the wall and wishing the best for you.
