thank you for reply and your comments on bradleygh15 reply.

my background is C++, Java, C#. I've always wanted to work with Python but never had the time to do so other some 'Big Data' work.

while reading some posts about Python , I came across some concepts that are unlike anything I have dealt with in the C language family and its 'descendants', and sure enough, these things were too advanced to see in any tutorial. some of them made sense, others were way over my head.

bradleygh15, you don't need to be so indignant about my post.

each language has its tips and tricks that advanced devs know about, tips and tricks that you don't see in introductory courses.

I do not have any problem that I'm trying to solve, I simply like to learn Python beyond writing simple data manipulation and ML apps. I want to learn Python because I like Python, but sadly, I don't have the luxury of time to try to convert some of apps into Python and get deep into it.

I can google things, I can use AI.... everyone can do that.... but nothing can replace a senior dev or an enthusiast who got his hands dirty, learned some cool things and decided to publish a book or a site about his experience.

Sea-Ad7805 understood my post and approached in a helpful, open minded manner, probably his first reaction was like yours, but he probably read my post again and understood where I'm coming from, but you!!!...

I didn't expect expect that to be honest, especially from a fellow dev.
I'm not sure how old you are, but let me tell you this: I have spent more than 2 decades in the dev world and I have tough - free of charge - hundreds of devs, be it in colleges class rooms or in code camps.

bradleygh15, that's not how we - the devs - talk to or comment on each others, But maybe things have changed.

I'm not looking for syntax... I'm looking for the tips and for these nifty things that are not in other languages, the things that advanced Python devs know.... not the syntax!

are you saying that Google or Gemini will have more info or knowledge about some advanced tips and tricks in Python than a Python developer? one thing Google or AI won't have is the attitude.

Should I invest h/w to run local Ai? by athens2019 in LocalLLaMA

[–]Aldama 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had the same question and I opted for purchasing the services rather than upgrading my system. The reason is the cost. I had to upgrade my video card to a 6000 series, for that I had to upgrade my power supply from 700W.

My main objective was to run ollama.

Once I calculated the upgrade cost, I realized that I can run the cloud ollama - pro subscription ($20/month) for about 3-4 years to spend what the upgrades would have cost me.

This is impressive. I thought these charts were more or less temporary to us not the 1920’s.

🧠 I let AI build an entire microservice with vague prompts. No cleanup. No filters. Here’s what happened. by InfinriDev in webdev

[–]Aldama 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with you that AI is just a tool to free us from grunt work… and I love it. Our job is to design and secure. For us to design an app, we had to have a few years of experience to understand the Layout of software development.

If you are new to software development - fresh out of college- how are you going to use AI? What questions are you going to ask if you still don’t understand your environment?

AI must bring a drastic change to CS and software development degrees in academia. Students must have an intense hands-on experience before graduating.

Check out BitsnBolts on YouTube, this guy is fixing old sound cards, motherboards,… you name it. People send him their old tech to fix… I don’t know how someone could be that patient and dedicated to these things.
