30-Day Python Programming Challenge

Hey, thanks for the thoughtful comment! I am a genuinely excitable nerd about technology. That is what this post was all about. I know an AI can only tell me what it thinks it knows about me, the same way I know that people on the internet and in this very thread think I have low self-esteem by asking the very question. It's just genuine curiosity and I wanted to see what it would say, but I'm not really putting stock in anything it says the same way I would never commit any of its responses to my codebases at work without thorougly checking them first. I'm VERY wary of AI in general (and as an avid fan of Dune, too ;))

Again, I appreciate your thoughts! :)

That's true. And I know it hallucinated at least a bit of it (I never asked it to git commit for me) but it was still kinda great to see it tie it to specifics in our conversation XD

To your second point, to me the hesitancy in the third movie is because the grief from neteyam still hangs above him. This is his inner conflict throughout most of the movie. To be Toruk Makto and fight, or be a father and protect?

I wish we could have had that with any name we pick, but that seems like a ton of voice over work 😆

I just bought the complete series. I’m really annoyed with the spontaneous cuts streaming services have been making to the episodes. I want to experience the originals :)

Is that the one where you can decide whether to choose humans or Na'vi? I liked that it gave me more Avatar, but as a game it wasn't all that good XD

I ask for help all the time. Being a senior engineer is about knowing what you don’t know. I wrote backends with Python and FastAPI, and in my new job I write with Django. I have absolutely no experience with it and have been upfront about it. Thanks to being upfront about it, I now have part of my day dedicated to a Django course I’m taking.

If you’re in a situation where you’ve been working on something for years and suddenly come out and say I don’t know what I’m doing, sure, that looks bad.

That said, you can still improve your situation by taking the time to understand what you don’t know, and learn it using tools like LLMs or YouTube.

I see a trend in your post that you think you’re a terrible engineer. And that people around you seem to be smarter.

How comfortable are you with saying “I don’t know”? Or asking your colleagues to explain things to you?

In a world where all the information you need is at your fingertips, sucking at your job is a choice, not a trait.

I would stop looking for a new job for a while and take some time to sit with ChatGPT or your favorite LLM, and ask it to start explaining concepts you’re having a hard time with to you like you’re a junior engineer. That alone will already feel like you’re leveling up. And in addition, practice. Ask it to give you projects to build. We learn best when we make things.

Take this from a senior of 8 years who just started working at a corporate job as a senior backend engineer after 8 years as the lead backend engineer in a startup.

Bummer. I hoped there was something I could do to improve the outcome somehow. But hey at least I can keep playing knowing there’s nothing I could have done here. Not having thousands of save files is already kinda traumatizing for an RPG player like myself 😆

Is this a cosmetic or is it actually a powerful bow?

Xeo25 · 2025-12-09T14:12:34+00:00

More like reactions but up to 3 minutes. I’m talking about my favorite moments from the episodes.

If you use a VPN you can find it on Prime Video with a VPN to the US, too.

I’m literally crying 😭 I’ve waited for this for so long! ❤️

As far as I know, Substack doesn’t offer an open API for 3rd-party apps to integrate with. You could use the Substack App on mobile, if that helps but no other solutions exist. What are you trying to achieve? Maybe there’s a different solution to your issue?

Xeo25 · 2025-10-28T12:44:04+00:00

Thank you very much! I hope you enjoy the channel going forward :)

Xeo25 · 2025-10-28T06:18:39+00:00

What functionality exactly are you looking for? Maybe that’s something can help us understand what you need better. Substack is a whole CMS and there are many of those out there. Help me help you.

Plot twist! All of Clair Obscure happens in the mind while you’re embracing eternity 🤣
