I got really into so a few years back, partly as a hobby, partly to help me learn to code, partly out of the belief that knowing this could be good for a career transition.

About six months in the realization hit me that this isn’t one of those job creating inventions. It’s a job destroying invention.

I still tinker around with so a lot and even at its current development I think it’s a really, really fucking cool tool if you’re running a model locally and have control over it, but i honestly believe it will kill capitalism, and that it’s going to be bloody, bloody fight.

Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted. Seems a really relevant question for anyone looking to learn a low level programming language. I’d say it’s fairly in depth but I don’t know what I don’t know. I get, at a high level, how memory addresses work, understand what ram does, I get the concept of hyperthreading and have written a couple of python scripts that have used it for so applications…

I’ve fucked around with a lot of hex tables.

I took formal logic in uni and while I sucked st it I did learn a lot about the fundamental logic underlying it all

I mean, I literally learned python and bash by just kind of going for it, so this sounds good.

I have not. I’m about to start learning rust so this could be useful. Thanks!

I learned python and bash over about 6 months.

I’m not a phenomenal coder yet but it’s definitely doable. I didn’t take a class or read any books I just tried to code shit until eventually the anger and frustration lead to a moment where it kind of clicked and I was just like, writing line after line after line of code.

It was so weird. When I woke up that morning I felt like I’d never learn and then I could just kind of do it.

Shopping at home hardware is such a weird experience. You can ask questions and the people working there actually know the answers to the questions and can point you in the right direction.

It’s weird to interact with someone that isn’t a fucking troglodyte that knows nothing about the products they’re selling.
