 Do you actually want to work on something? if yes, then lets take this to DM and i can point you at repos. 
 I'm but a baby in your eyes, basic css, basic js, I'm willing but not able. 
 Use tools like v0, Claude, Perplexity, and duck.ai to rocket past the noobs not using those tools 🚀

 yep. these days should be easier than ever. 

still don't grok the inaction. maybe people are dishonest with themselves. *shrug* 
 Mostly imposter syndrome I think. It’s kinda crazy what you can build with just using English and images these days. I learn a lot just by banging on the keyboard and asking a billion questions in the AI apps I mentioned. 
 yep the AI definitely has made us faster by multiple X, maybe not everyone is awake to it yet 
 When I talk to normies about it, they have no idea what I’m talking about 
 I think it’s just a pretty big time sink for a lot of people. I’ve been curious about learning to code, but I feel as if it would take thousands of hours to even begin to make something that is remotely useful or even usable. 
 that's the problem though. people spend too much time thinking about learning to code instead of just jumping in and trying to build stuff. check out this dude who doesn't know how to code building his own note taking app.

 I appreciate you sending me this. I’ll watch it and see where it takes me. 🫡 
  @NotBiebs  if it took this dude with AI < 4 hrs to code that with zero experience, how fast does it take us experienced devs + AI, maybe < 1 hr  LOL

enterprise backend dev told me the other day AI cut his time down from many months to a few weeks. we are totes in a new era 
 This is epic 🙌🏻 
 Thank you for this. I'm about to go down a rabbit hole  
 urm,  @Noshole and  @Puzzito made turdsoup without much experience.  Was that a massive time sink?  
 Nope 🙂‍↔️ first version only took a few hours but I did have a basic understanding of cPanel, DNS, JavaScript, HTML and CSS.
And of course I had help from ChatGPT 
  @J.erb all your assumptions busted belong to us 
 Not sure if turd soup is actually useful though 😝 
 As long as one person uses it, it’s useful to someone 😀 
 Thanks for lifting my spirits 😊 
 agreed 
 I’m recommending turd soup as an art prompt generator when I start promoting the #nostrichnovember art challenge. 👍  I think it’s great. 🫂 
 that's also an aspect of your own mind blocking its potential. 

 
 puzzles and noshole made that turdsoup app with not much help and a lotta AI. 

did you hear about the law firm that fired most of its juniors and replaced with chatgpt? crazy.   
 Is Duck AI the the duck duck go one Calle shared?

 I’m using it with the llama model. It’s super fast and works pretty well for code at least. 
 I'll need to get back on the saddle. I've tried using AI before, but I think I gave up too soon. 
 I’ve just started using the stuff I mentioned in the past few weeks. It’s getting so good. 
 I don't know what half the tools you mentioned are. Is Claude an LLM? 
 claude.ai is good. you can also use it on duck.ai i think 
 Yeah I’ve been using that one the most

 try not to over relay on the AI to solve problems. there are often really offtrack incorrect responses 
 Yeah, I have learned that the hardway. 
 please do! i was so hopeful for you last year.  I am looking forward to you back on the saddle again. Come to the next dev night 21 Aug 6pm on hivetalk 
 I'll put it on my calendar. 
 Do you use em all interchangeably or would you say some of them are better for certain tasks or questions than others? 
 I mostly use Claude, but I haven’t upgraded to pro, so whenever it cuts me off I switch over to duck.ai with llama. Have pretty much stopped using ChatGPT ever since I tried Claude. I use Perplexity as my default search engine. It’s great cause it cites the info it gives you. Haven’t tried v0 yet, but it looks really good especially since I mostly make things with React.
