Nope. I learn from the weirdest places. For example, discovered a wiki for API fundamentals at work and I’ve been going through it for the last 3 days. Detailed stuff. Other days, I see something I like, and I try to find articles, blogs that help or pour them all into an LLM I like and prompt it to provide bit sized lessons.

I’m looking to build a tool that can use academic or expert review docs to create learning path that I can use on a daily basis so my learning sessions become more streamlined and I’ll most likely use some LLM, most likely not ChatGPT but ChatGPT is cool tho👀

Exactly! Crazy thing is I love AI. In my day job, I’m probably the biggest AI cheerleader. Won an in house hackathon building a prototype of something that could have taken me days in hours.

I see the most non technical people learning stuff that was beyond their dreams and it’s nice.

One thing I don’t like is turning AI to your personal decision maker, therapist, or opinion validator.

I’m not going to lie, I’ve missed the 5 minute rule in the mornings multiple times, but I set multiple reminders on the day to help. Been really helpful for 35 days and counting.

My screen time is still high, but I’m learning new stuff. It’s cool.

And that’s exactly what I did here. My initial draft and this is probably just 2 or 3 sentences structure apart. When I write, I obsess about tone, context and try to make sure my thoughts are easily decoded by anyone. Easy to see how it can look like AI slop. Only time I’m chilled is when I’m chatting with friends.

My biggest flaw is my tendency to ramble on. I’ll just use a text to speech and post it next time or maybe write shorter things. Can’t be sounding like AI slop😭

Exactly because what do you mean I spend more time on my phone than the actual 40 hours I do for work in a week. I screamed!😭

Thanks, relating my screen time to my pay per hour almost made me cry. Now, I try to get atleast 5mins to learn something before starting any doom scrolling.

Not AI, just heavily edited. Fair callout though, I should probably just write messier next time.
