I realized a long time ago that I’m better at computer stuff not because I’m smarter but because I will sit there all day and night to figure something out while others will give up. I always thought that was my superpower in the job industry but now I’m not so sure if it will transfer to getting AI to do what I need done…

Same, I barely made it through Engineering school, but would stay up all night figuring out everything a computer could do (before the internet).

I did it because I enjoyed it, and still do. I just do it with LLMs now. There is more to figure out than ever before and things get created faster than I have time to understand them.

LLM should be enabling this, not making it more depressing.

  • Me three. I was not as smart as many of my peers in uni but I freakin LOVE the subject matter and I also love studying and feeling that progress of learning, which led me to put in the huge number of hours necessary to be successful and have a positive attitude the whole time.
