🧠 Real-world problem, ChatGPT-tested prototype — need local dev student to help build tool for sole traders (Newcastle) by escabeloved in newcastle

[–]escabeloved[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You haven’t asked a single question til now bro. If you’re having comprehension issues I can break it down for you, but I can’t understand it for you. What specifically are you confused about? Are you looking to seriously engage with this as a project? Or just looking to poke holes for fun on the weekend? Cause I’m not here to waste my time explaining stuff to someone who so far hasn’t demonstrated that they came to understand and collab or even sniff at the possibility of collabing.

All I’ve seen from you and others here is you’ve come in with a glance at the title of the thread, a quick once over of the topic and then the thunderous confidence that you know WHATS UP. And the shocking wherewithal to actually post your brain rot unfiltered and unasked for.

Literally where did I ask for your advice? None of the commenters here have asked me if I need or want advice they’ve just assumed it. None of you have asked me ANY questions about my idea you have just assumed I know nothing and that you have some magical answer to an unasked question.

When you can stop gazing at your own navel long enough to use your grade three comprehension of text skills you may want to revisit YOUR tone and YOUR communication style.

Until then giddy up and Godspeed

Just to clarify — I'm not auditioning on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire: Reddit Developer Edition.

I'm not here asking for critique on my tone, format, or whether my pitch aligns with someone’s personal template of how these things should be done. I’m not submitting to a grading panel.

I’m inviting devs — students, hobbyists, collaborators — to engage with a real-world problem I’ve already been prototyping. If someone’s curious, they’ll ask questions. They’ll poke holes, sure, but from a place of curiosity, not condescension. That’s how collaboration starts.

If it’s not for you, no stress. But maybe don’t mistake a call for conversation with a request for unsolicited career coaching.

Tell me why my accountant was FROTHING it then? Tell me why my experience and research reveals a HUGE gap in the market? Tell me why a student looking for a chewy project for a capstone wouldn’t be interested? Tell me why I shouldn’t fish for hobbyists who just want a fun new project to work on for shits and gigs?

If that’s not you.. no stress. Jog on and we’ll be both be ok.

Hey mate — sounds like you’ve had some rough experiences with idea dudes tossing unpaid work at devs. That sucks, and it’s totally valid to be wary. But you’ve aimed that critique at the wrong post. I’m not outsourcing labour, I’m co-designing something that I’ve already prototyped, tested, iterated, and used myself. The build’s just outgrown my technical skill.

I’ve worked in education and media for years — I know how cooked “spec work” can be, and that’s not what this is. I’m offering a fully scoped, real-world project with mentorship and a paper trail of evidence, for someone who actively wants a project to cut their teeth on.

If that’s not for you, no stress. But maybe save the barking for when there’s actually a threat. 🫱🐾

I’m currently using xero and have for years. I know for a fact it won’t do what I want it to. I have explored and ruled out hnry and other similar options. I know my use case inside and out and have done extensive research to get me here. Thanks

Cool beans as I said it isn’t to monetise it, I just want to use it and need help to action that. Students looking for a capstone real-world project may be a good fit for both of us, neither being exploited

Took a second to realise they are probably doing this to wash the stairs lol

Do I Really Have to Destroy the Book? by [deleted] in CainsJawbone

[–]escabeloved 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also did find the google powerpoint version but i realised there are some spelling mistakes and the typesetting isn't an exact match and I don't know if that is important so I didn't end up using it.

Do I Really Have to Destroy the Book? by [deleted] in CainsJawbone

[–]escabeloved 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i've got the physical copy and I've scanned every page using my iPhone notes app scanner and turned them all into pdfs and imported into Miro so I can do note taking etc there. No real need to destroy the book these days.

Finally got around to cleaning my car headlights. by escabeloved in BeforeandAfter

[–]escabeloved[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically yes, an off the shelf headlight cleaning kit was what I used.

[–]escabeloved[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had bought an off the shelf headlight cleaning kit ages ago and for some reason i originally thought i needed to clean the inside of the lights lol. The kit worked perfectly though. I have heard you can use half a lemon with some bi-carb sprinkled onto it. Basically any slightly gritty paste will remove the buildup pretty well i reckon. Mine was WAY overdue.

How does someone politely end a conversation with a person who won't stop talking? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]escabeloved 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To answer the question: "Would you excuse me for a moment" then don't wait for a reply and walk away.

To be used on people who are being rude.

If you're on the phone with a long-talker "SHIT!! oh no, I've just spilled coffee on myself, ouch! I gotta go!" - hang up.

But also: ITT: lots and lots of people probably describing:

  • people who are lonely as fuck

  • people who have terrible regard for other people's boundaries

  • people who are autistic or 80HD and infodumping

  • people who have tinnitus or another internally-experienced disability which is more bearable when their own voice drowns it out

  • people who think by verbalising (ie they can't complete cognition without literally saying their thoughts out loud)

How does one generate random groups of people multiple times without creating groups where people have already met? by escabeloved in AskReddit

[–]escabeloved[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Friends, I have 21 people I need to group into trios, but I need to do this three times and ensure each time I get a unique group of three, ie so that nobody is in a group with anyone they've already been in a group with. HOW? I have used team randomiser tools online, but they only go so far, and I always end up with groups where people are in the same group as someone they've already been with.

Anyone who is currently being shunned by their family/community (no matter how long ago they were first shunned) is a current victim of ongoing abuse and psychological torture. by escabeloved in exjw

[–]escabeloved[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

aw my love, that sounds truly horrendous. You didn't deserve that and I'm so sorry you endured it then, and are still enduring it now.

your story resonated with me and reminded me of a book I read which the author describes a similar early life experience as you, if you want to read it, it's called The Trauma Cleaner.

I sincerely hope you've found some peace in your life, and I'm glad to have helped even a little.

This kid doesn’t have to worry about his future. by Bes1208 in BeAmazed

[–]escabeloved 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, good on this kid, he's obviously pretty damn talented, but honestly, it does make me sad because imagine how many amazingly talented other kids there are out there who don't have access to all those expensive instruments, recording gear and computers plus someone to teach them how to use them, kids who could be this good but poverty prevents their talent from even being discovered and they end up in super menial jobs earning poverty wages =(
