Such a big inspiration! One of the few times where I genuinely read and liked the work - didn't even notice how the time flew by.

Feels like it's more and more about consuming data & outputting the desired result.

This article is so good! I applaud your efforts into making a change for your life for the better.

Liked you included one of many studies from M Csikszentmihalyi

They are watching..

Who doesn't like a good story, especially when it resonates so vibrantly.

Thank you for sharing your personal journey. I too have (too) many ideas floating around, getting ready to fix everything I see broken, ignoring what's really important. So I whole-heartedly agree with "You learn how to program. You learn how to fix things. But the hardest thing you’ll ever learn is when to leave them broken."

The output is so convenient that these students seem like they don't even change bits of it to make it their own.

Since there is no "interdiction" to use any LLM, perhaps it should be mandatory to include the prompt as well when used. Feels like that could be the seed that sparks the curiosity..

This is so heart warming. I hope this action gains more interest to other cultures. By the looks of it, the rate of success is greater within a relatively small to medium community in size.

I remember using the same library few years ago for a stagger effect. Glad to see it's still alive and doing even better. The intro experience was beautifully crafted. It has me convinced to add an use to my projects
