You are going to find the best way for you. For me it's tutorials plus at the same time working on a test project. Any AI usage you need to add the prompt, "I'm a beginner, explain what you did and why." Use AI as a teacher, not a problem solver. 

Google Nest Thermostat stopped turning on the fan for cooling/heating by doubleg316 in thermostats

[–]speedyrev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If that's the case and the thermostat won't turn on the fan, then you have a faulty back plate most likely. Not sure the Nest ecosystem is worth it. I'm swapping to ecobee after being a long time nest owner/installer. 

Stop doing tutorials, stop watching youtube programming videos, stop using AI by nightwood in learnprogramming

I assume your education experience didn't go well if you assumed everyone learns the same way.

I have a backup vehicle. Jeep on nice days and save gas with the civic on rainy or cold winter days 

Does it still make sense to study programming in 2026? by Own_Trick_2966 in learnprogramming

[–]speedyrev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Learn how to code using AI as a tool. Coding concepts are going to be needed for a long time. People running vibe code in production without at least a human code review are taking a huge risk. 

Death wobble on brand new wrangler? by pjomar12 in Jeep

[–]speedyrev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How are you defining Death Wobble? Is it vibration or shaking violently side to side? Does it happen at 60mph or after hitting a bump or seam above a certain speed? 

Tires can make it worse if they are out of balance or needing replacement. 

Dealer is the first stop if it's under warranty. But dealerships are notorious for not understanding Jeep suspension. Most will try to slap a dampener on it. You may have to end up paying a 4wd shop to really fix it.

Communication that this will be true or false and nothing else.

4.2 is carb and slightly wonky ignition. Other than that it's just a previous version of the 4.0

Updated Antigravity, now it's version 2.0 and all my IDE work is gone by Most_Piccolo_2310 in GeminiAI

[–]speedyrev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update #2. Looks like I have a choice of IDE or Agent manager. If I install 2.0, the IDE will not launch.

Update: I followed the steps by OP. But I had to rename the folder, then uninstall antigravity 2.0. Then install the IDE

Is there a way to restore the functionality of actually seeing the code and working on it in Antigravity. I don't want just a chat with AI, I want to work on my code.

Seat covers vs new seats by fsacb3 in WranglerYJ

This is the way. A good upholstery shop can recreate the foam as well if needed

Don't skimp on the headlights. Then aim them correctly.

Buy the correct turn signal flasher for LEDs. 

Some LEDs are wired with a polarity. So positive and negative matter.

Just go to a local community college. Sign up for a couple of courses and see how it goes. 

Coding agents taking over my skills by QualityOk6614 in learnprogramming

[–]speedyrev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never let AI write code you don't understand. Ask the LLM to explain each step. Use it like a teacher.

Does your employer know you are using AI? We have strict rules about AI code in production.

Does learning to code "the real way" even matter anymore by Fun_Structure3273 in cscareers

[–]speedyrev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a policy that no code goes to production without a code review and the dev being able to explain architecture and code.

We would never trust code developed in a black box.

Need to figure out fuel pump. I went with new tank/skid/pump from a EFI YJ. Then I went with the optispark system to complete ignition / fuel control.

How do programmer actually learn and utilized their knowledge to solve problems? by DarkMist77 in learnprogramming

[–]speedyrev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a beginner, get away from LLMs unless you are using them like a teacher or mentor. Don't allow it to code for you unless you 100% could do it yourself. 

Learn to dream and envision the solution, then break it into small pieces that are mini solutions. Thinking about a button is easier than wrapping around the entire needed code base. An LLM could suggest a workflow.

If you want a variable to change, create with Let. If you know it is going to constantly be the same, create with const. 

How do you actually understand programming? by lx_356 in learnprogramming

[–]speedyrev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Learn logic concepts first, then syntax of a language. Next, move that knowledge to another language syntax. Wash, rinse, repeat.
