If you know what you’re doing, no. If you don’t know what you are doing, yes.

The difference is the knowledge you gain from traditional learning and experience.

I agree that books are much better resources to learn in a structured way. This builds a solid foundation where you can then use LLMs to fill the boring gaps.

You’re doing it right, using it as a tool to learn.

I’m doing the same to get a handle on Python. I question the steps, compare it with other sources, and try to get comfortable coding it myself. I then use it to review my code, and get further insights.

It’s a tool. Just another tool.

Being the guy who had to feed the whole 32 floppy disk stack to the wretched PC every time the user broke the Windows 95 installation pushed me to the *nix camp quite early, I can tell you that.

Each floppy had a good 10% chance of being faulty, so imagine the fun.

I saw the trailer. I’m down for some sword fighting, horse riding, dragon riding. What throws me off is the train. Why is there a train there?

Jeez, I didn’t meant it as women vs men. I meant it as any cool new tech first gets flaunted by the rich and powerful for some vain, narcissistic purpose.

You know what’s going to happen, don’t you? This tech will first be incorporated into a blindingly shiny dress of a B-class starlet at next year’s Oscar’s red carpet.

Dishonored.

I’m having a lot of fun sneaking around.

You’re clearly upset with the leadership of your country. How does piracy change anything?

When you live in society, you should obey the laws OR fight to change them. Pirating stuff is a weak form of protest.

1. There’s always a risk, especially with such a desirable bait. If you have no problem with having your system be part of a botnet (or worse), go right ahead.
2. I care. When you are responsible for other people, getting hit with a large fine or jail time is not an option.
3. Part of the price goes to the developers. Not as much as in indies, but that’s life. That does not justify pirating stuff.
4. At least we agree on something.

Not my cup of tea, for a number of reasons:

1. from a security standpoint, I would have a very high probability of downloading something nasty;
2. from a legal standpoint, authorities frown upon such behaviour;
3. from a moral standpoint, people who produce games should be payed;
4. from a personal standpoint, I don’t like any of their games.

Everytime this dirt bag speaks, I wish I had more Epic accounts to cancel.

I do hope there’s a special place in hell for people like this, where they are spanked for all eternity with a soup spoon.

Same, fun but crashed a lot.

A prompt driven etch-a-sketch would actually be awesome, and I think it could be built with a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W and a couple of stepper motors, so pretty cheap.

You never forget your first successful docking procedure.

Elite - a huge 3D vector universe to explore.

Tetris - adictiveness distilled.

Driller - oh wow, filled 3D graphics on a 3.5MHz 8 bit micro?

Wolfenstein 3D - shooting nazis is fun.

Doom - incredible, improved graphics and more fun.

Quake - full 3D now, but not as fun as Doom.

Half-Life - oh yeah, now we’re talking. Great storytelling and gripping fun.

Portal - fun, engaging and funny.

Bioshock Infinite - I guess I enjoy riding the skylines.

Torchlight - There’s something cozy about those dungeons, I dunno.

Skyrim - how did I lose 900 hours of my life?

I simply ran it with Wine and modded Skyrim (Steam flatpak version for extra challenge).
