Do me a favor and practice what you preach.

The key is that you persist. I call it survival or I like to say, despite whatever is going on, “yet I still persist”. Finding new and different reasons to help you maintain this persistence are also very important. Stay here don’t leave. That’s it.

Made the right choice BTW, stay strong.

I don’t listen to or follow any of the sources on the chart, and I don’t like politics. That said, as a passerby I thought it was an interesting chart. One thing I thought about, the legacy media that is highly manipulated in my opinion is dominated by so-called left and the pseudo independent in my opinion voices in red on the chart are dominated by so-called right.

I believe most people no longer trust the legacy media and are turning to just about anything else as an alternative.

I think most people mistakenly think that some of these voices in red are independent of or not affected by persuasion, coercion, other. Some of these voices in red are also potentially literal government agents.

All that said, I also find it interesting that there are not more blue dots: pseudo independent so-called left voices.

Does this mean that the so-called left audience is captive to the legacy media? And/or does this mean that the so-called left audience does not trust independent voices?

I will check some of the comments to the original post to see if anybody has thoughts on that.

Anyways, thanks for your time.

That’s cool and I would say I mostly agree, I am also going to add a couple specific pointers that I consider practical: use ChatGPT on a desktop in a browser, use VS Code and extensions, keep ChatGPT instructions OFF the CLI so you don’t end up in a loop of running CLI codes and reporting back to your SupervisorGPT, make deals with ChatGPT in terms of complete code files and check every line, run midnight commander in a separate terminal and pay attention to permissions and ownership, force ChatGPT into lock down checklist mode and force it to go step by step, focus on the BIG picture with ChatGPT and don’t let it runoff to the next shiny object before you completed and tested everything that you wanted to do and hardened before you listen to the next bullshit suggestion prior to project completion. It’s not all bad and it does help you learn and punch above your weight class, but it can be downright infuriating and is by no means a turnkey solution: my two cents. Nobody going nowhere doing nothing.

That’s cool. It doesn’t sound like you are vibe coding because you don’t expect a working code, rather using LLM to learn more about coding in general. Is there any technique you learned to make it go faster or work better thru that process?

I have tried vibe coding on a couple small hobby projects and it did not workout in any of the cases, zero out of 4 or 5 ish attempts. It will get you kind of close, but it takes way way too long and it doesn’t work so you are actually just getting started. Are there actually techniques to vibe coding or is this all bullshit? I don’t want to spend more time looking into it…
