@Dan_Jeffries1 Agreed. AI has given me some of the best learning experiences I’ve ever had. I used to be someone who would mostly “stay in my lane” on various topics unless it was necessary for me to learn. But now anything that sparks my curiosity I get to have a turbo deep dive into it.
12:53 AM · Jul 16, 2026@Dan_Jeffries1 Unfortunately, I don't see many like you who insist on uncovering the big picture. Everybody is just lurching around, attending to the latest shiny object.

The key is to keep learning other stuff, to occasionally take back the wheel, to have a big picture thing you're working towards and to make sure you're exercising and taking time to smell the roses. Keep studying code and language and history and whatever else sets your mind afire. Learn about every package you're blindly adding deeply. Slow down a little. Don't blindly be a rat in a maze hitting the dope drip.
