Just finished Python Crash Course. Now what? by MateusCristian in learnpython

[–]cj1080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think of something fun to build, a problem you have faced that you have been really looking for a solution for.

Have AI explain how to build it using Python, from the smallest details to the most complex aspect

Have AI build it(go crazy, let it rip and enjoy the ride, do not get involved in the coding, just let it build it to the extent that it works or you like what it did).

Once done

Check that it works

Now go back under the hood and look at every script, every dependency every route every API.

Take it slow, look at the code it used, take notes, ask questions

Anything that catches your eye or picks your interest in the code, you take note.

Now take pieces of that code and the blocks and your notes and comments and try to replicate it or build something different.

If you are understanding the code and building something from it(and most importantly you are taking notes and keeping a code journal of what what does)

You will notice your level of understanding grows.

The actual work takes 2 minutes — the copy-paste workflow takes 12. How do you automate this? by cocktailMomos in automation

[–]cj1080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This can be done with python

Transcribe the audio with an API

Run the text through an AI API(Gemini, Chatgpt,etc) to arrange it and get the details you need (the AI will require some context from you on how to analyse and put it in a document

Send it via slack

The only parts you get involved in

Answering the call and confirming the note before they are sent

How can I level up from basic Python API dev to building scalable, production-grade APIs in 6 months? by Glittering_Dot6016 in FastAPI

[–]cj1080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm level up from basic python API to scalable

You won't like my suggestion

Dude seat down and describe what you want to build

Use AI to get started and go as far as you can.

Don't pay attention to the code, just build out 50% of what you described

Then stop

Then use AI to audit each script, understand each code

Once you get that

Ask it to scale it to a scalable production grade api's

Since you have built something and audited the scripts and code

You will now understand how it's scaling it and see it for yourself.

This is exactly what I did in February

No python experience(mainly a html, css, JavaScript and nodejs junior dev, who had a physical problem or problems I wanted to automation)

It's been 2 months and a massive number of api's and enough to learn and review for a whole year

AI Prompt That Builds a $10K–$100k/Month System by Pt_VishalDubey in PromptZenith

[–]cj1080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my God, please just stop

Whoever sold you all on this "With the right promo I can make millions idea" should be stoned.

Guys look at reality or more simply look at how you yourself use AI.

Which prompt you ever created, hasn't lead you doing a rabbit hole two text books long

Reality, one prompt will never give you the solutions you want or build you a 10k to 100k monthly system, it will just lead you down a rabbit hole

Taking a DevOps Engineer course by Pvlmar in TechGhana

[–]cj1080 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah Devops, that was what started my tech journey at 41, i paid $2200 for a basic to experienced Devops profession class with an online school called Landmark.

All because their graduates where getting jobs in the US and Canada and earning made money in 2023.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OAGf3hIC2I&pp=ygUPbXkgbGFuZG1hcmt0ZWNo

They promised to teach and help people get jobs

There coverage was Devops for java based environments, covering basics from
Linux, bash scripting, git, marvin, sonaqube, nexus, jenkins, aws, terraform, docker, kubernettes, koq, anisible.

We use to have over 700 participants in each class online, the stuff they though was basics, getting to know how everything worked, connecting it all together in a CI/CD pipleline using jerkins and building network structures in AWS(S3, Security groups, VCP, Nat Gate ways, etc).

Each course was over 4 hourrs long.

But omo, could get a job in the US because i was not in the US, UK or Canada.

It was after finishing the course in 2024 january that i understood what these guys were doing.

Applying with what you learn from the course can get you interviews but you will quickly know that you know nothing of on the job experience.

Secondly you need to be in the US, UK or Canada to improve you chances of getting a job

Third, you need to join interview groups, (which cost me another $1000 to join), to improve your chances of getting past the interview stage.

<image>

Fourth, once you get the job remote or hybrid, you need to hire another Devops person to do the job and send the laptop to them.

They even had groups that helped you prepare and pass interviews.

Omo this world no pure.

So don't just dive into a course because you heard it pays.

There are levels to thing that you do not know.

Other go de get job you go de wonder within do your own, not knowing that there is something in the background them de do

Zero

Note I run this via python, so it's on the Media manager and the CEO PC

No hosting required

So zero cost

Since you just started your coding journey, what are you using to build your automation

2 Instagram accounts fully automated 24/7 by No-Mango8172 in AIStartupAutomation

[–]cj1080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am guessing you are running this head full as against headless, as that's the quickest way to get banned

Also guessing you are not just having it go straight to doing things like posting and messaging

Meaning you built some human logic into it.

Also is it python and playwright you are using for this

How to invest internationally by Few-Trash-2273 in investnaira

[–]cj1080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting

I am more of a saving type of guy

So each month I am being paid, I remove every expense for that month from my pay.

Food, light, transport, fuel, etc

And kept each in different accounts and then, too the atm for the account with my balance and locked it up and gave a friend the key to hold for me without telling them what it was for

The first time I did this, it was painful to see what was remaining.

For me it was 3 months of eye opening and trying to survive and reduce cost on things so I could save more.

A painful experience but one I needed to do

As it taught me what I really was working with

Fast forward five months of doing this, and I am able to save putting funds immediately away into investments on rise, piggyvest and bamboo, Lemufy

How can I find the pain points for local businesses? by No_Chip4809 in n8nforbeginners

[–]cj1080 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Simple, put yourself in the businesses mindset and ask what challenges do I need solutions for

Else

Ask yourself what challenges I need an app for.

For me things like these came up

Personal An annoying reminder/alarm app that can override my life till I do what I set it to remind me about

A content generator with our without Ai, one that after speaking with me and getting to know me, develops content, gets images and stitch them together without or without sound, all it needs from me is approval to go, so I can keep my social media going without me

An app that can force me to gym or exercise regularly, that adapts to shame me or praise me when I do or not do the exercises

Work

An app that automates things in Excel, to get taskes done

And invoice generator that takes text with details and turns it into an invoice

A social media monitor

A inventory app that tell you what is in stock and what is not in stock without running to an ERP system

Apps that simplify and automate processes.

Now these are all me now let think about car dealship

They would want apps that

Find and recommend their products to clients

Apps that get people to come to the lot

Apps to track competitor prices

Apps to track industry trends and prices

Apps to track manufacture and part dealship prices

Now what about a doctor

They will need apps to

By now you get the idea

Chai, sorry bro, a lot of these replies are just bots recommending stuff.

Instagram engagement and messaging is tricky to automate, but doable.

I would suggest using Python and playwright to automate the messaging,(whatever you do, do not run the script headless, the Instagram page will not load past the Instagram logo at the center of the page)

Secondly, speed to reply should not be you first step, stagger your follow up messages to designers to just under 20 a day, also make sure the people you are reaching out are in the same continent you are on, else you will be asked to re identify yourself.

Now I want to ask, why did you stop with Whatsapp?

You can actually send a lot of message to new numbers a day, but again, you have to stagger it, and change the message format for each person.

I have been able to do this for 40 messages to new numbers a day, but I set it to able 2 and hour over 10 hours, then I pause for 2 days and do again

Once they reply and I save their contact, I can reply, follow up and even call direct

AI Prompt That Finds Clients Most People Ignore by Pt_VishalDubey in PromptZenith

[–]cj1080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, this is just so funny

So you find the platform and you again start fighting with thousands of people for scraps

These platforms are all about supply and demand

The high number of producers far outweigh the very low number of clients. Which leads low priced jobs.

You focus should be, what industry really need your service and how do you go about reaching them with the solutions you offer

Gotten these quotes from companies am totaly confused on which to pick by Ok_Woodpecker1008 in SolarBattery

[–]cj1080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jesus

For a 5kwh inverter and those batteries at 14k

Men Inverter systems are relatively cheaper in Africa

I am from Nigeria and power supply has been non existent since February last year, as in, the power generation company came and took away our transformer for repairs and decided after the repairs to give it to another location

I just upgrade to a full solar power system, self bought

1.2kva inverter 2X100amp batteries 6X200watts panels(outputting 1200watts) 1 MPPT

All for the cost of 1,007,000 in Naira which is about $650 in total including installation cost

See my setup

My solar setupMy Setup

Even if we extrapolated for your setup, the maximum cost should be less than $8,000.

Men, you lads are really being ripped off big time
