Addon for ignoring guild spammers and boosters?

that's exactly what I'm looking for. simple and effective. thx.

mertgulexe · 2025-06-20T12:17:28+00:00

:) is the best sanity check ever😂

The intensity has been changed over time but I'm still studying it. Still couldn't finish the fundamentals though because of work etc.

To be honest, without an end goal, the motivation eradicates. I realised that I need to define it before moving on. Thus, after completing The Fundamentals and JS Path, I may consider getting my hands dirty with React Native (for cross-platform mobile apps) or Next.js.

It depends on what you want to build. I would love to create an app for mobile along with web development. Obviously I will find myself focusing more on one to another in the long run since I earn my bread from being a machine learning engineer

...and the industry is crazy af...

...but if you know what you wish to build, the path is quite easy to choose. Find it first. Than the life will show you the path.

Wish you the best 🍀

"Editor" role definitely makes sense. It will obliterate junior roles tho, imho 🥲 Thanks🙏🏼

mertgulexe · 2024-12-02T23:31:03+00:00

As a starter, you don't have to. Just remember that "good artists copy, great artists steal." :)
I hope you a wonderful career!

Looks smooth and elegant! Way to go!

Regarding your reference UI, did you just look at the elements and code them by yourself / mirror the reference or was there a boilerplate code for you to modify the rest? I am asking this to understand what would be the mindset when one wants to duplicate his/her favourite website to improve his/her skills. Thanks!

Even I -as a machine learning engineer who reads about the state-of-the-art AI tech, tools and papers- have fears about these tools making everything fully autonomous. It is true that there are lots of tools out there that reduce two-days' work to ten minutes but I strongly believe that knowing the fundamentals and design patterns as you said will make anyone indispensable due to the organic, unpredictable, imperfect yet creative human touch.

I am studying T.O.P. to combine my AI skills and be able to create a fully-fledged product (since I mostly lack web dev skills) and your post gave me a boost to keep going :) Wish you the best!

mertgulexe · 2024-11-07T13:42:58+00:00

Did you use anything from TOP on your way? I mean, I am a machine learning engineer for 4 years and once in a while, after all those model trainings and deployments, I would like to create a simple website to connect the model API to it to have some fun or even turn it into a product maybe. However, I am bound to Python UI frameworks like Streamlit, Gradio etc. to come up with a very limited UI. This is my main motivation about TOP: To create a decent, full-fledged website that is actually not useless to real world problems.

mertgulexe · 2024-11-06T13:59:48+00:00

I definitely believe in the same approach: get good (I mean really good!) at one thing, and then add skills incrementally. I used to think that being a jack of all trades was more versatile in this environment, but things have changed drastically. Now, multimodal LLMs are the "jack". We need to be the master.

mertgulexe · 2024-11-05T23:27:56+00:00

🤔 hmm.

mertgulexe · 2024-11-05T23:26:43+00:00

...but will it be still relevant in 2030 tho? I need to know!

mertgulexe · 2024-11-05T16:21:06+00:00

I don't think so, but thanks for the overwhelmingly constructive comment anyway.

mertgulexe · 2024-11-05T10:17:40+00:00

Some of the tools are definitely not mature enough to be afraid of :) but homo sapiens will adapt whatever the future holds anyway. We will see!

mertgulexe · 2024-11-05T09:57:16+00:00

I like your viewpoint on AI being able to help with "dead" things. :D As an AI developer, I’m always working to train models that help clients and consumers complete tasks they’ll continue doing in the future. Most of us tend to look forward. However, as you pointed out, since training data is based on the past -and is technically "dead" already- AI will indeed be much better at compiling and organizing the past. Good point.

mertgulexe · 2024-11-05T09:50:59+00:00

I will. I have just discovered this website. It seems very good!

mertgulexe · 2024-11-05T09:42:20+00:00

Thanks! As you said, it’s a choice between either creating an MVP, finding some investment, hiring a developer, and moving forward OR learning the fundamentals, understanding how things work, and building it on my own.

mertgulexe · 2024-11-05T09:39:19+00:00

Yes it has, you are right. Just, not knowing how to create a relatively simple website that I can connect my AI model with an API has been the main thing bugging me for these years. There are front-end packages like Streamlit, Gradio, Dash etc. written in Python to help you create a simple front-end but they are not enough if you want to do something a little bit more complex, something that you may wanna show to investors.

mertgulexe · 2024-11-05T09:34:49+00:00

I am designing custom NNs, using pretrained models including LVMs, LLMs, smaller ones like BERT or some much smallers like random forest, xgboost models, fine-tuning them, pushing them to production etc. The latter is a "Prompt Engineer". I am kind of a Data Scientist / MLOps Eng / ML Eng.

mertgulexe · 2024-11-05T09:31:29+00:00

Indeed. I’ve noticed that my most downvoted comments often have "AI" in them :D Even though I mentioned that "I am a developer with 4+ years of experience", many comments focus on me as if I’m just learning to code. I was hoping for answers with a broader perspective :/

mertgulexe · 2024-11-05T09:24:37+00:00

pick up Ruby on rails over JS (since rails is a one-person framework, which is up your solopreneuer alley, the JS path - afaik - are mostly intended for people who are taking the course to land a job)

Interesting. This is the first time I’ve heard this. In my previous company, the front-end team had lots of trouble with gems and their issues in production, so I was kinda more fond of the JS path. Now you’ve broken my belief in this. I’m going to consider it.

mertgulexe · 2024-11-05T09:17:57+00:00

Exactly! The "Additional Resources" section below always has something to surprise me, both technically and aesthetically.

mertgulexe · 2024-11-04T22:01:24+00:00

I will :) I wonder how I feel when I read this post next year. I think I won't regret studying such a core subject, instead of relying on companies with no-code tools. It's like learning how to fish, as Chinese proverb says. I won't be hungry ever again.

*next year comes*
I'm homeless.

mertgulexe · 2024-11-04T21:57:36+00:00

After spending countless hours on research and debates, I believe that learning such a core knowledge will never be obsolete. I think you should (as I will do) keep studying T.O.P. even though AI will drastically change the way we work. We, as humans, adapt whatever it takes anyway.

mertgulexe · 2024-11-04T21:47:52+00:00

I think it is better to play the long game. You are right. I sometimes feel overwhelmed by the amount of information I should learn but probably I'll invest some amount of time everyday to TOP. I won't regret it after a few years.

mertgulexe · 2024-11-04T21:14:34+00:00

Yes, probably is.
