Dude I've been drinking from the LLM firehose for the past month or so. I'm an enterprise / mobile developer, and I decided to come up to speed on the LLM scene. I've watched probably 100 videos from 10+ creators. You have some of the best content I've seen, and your online presence and ability to deliver complex idea concisely is impressive. You deserve a much bigger audience, and I expect you'll have it if you stick with these videos!

[@ShawhinTalebi]

Wow thank you for the kind words! That is high praise. I'm glad you found the content clear and helpful :)

[@srinivasguptha9538]

Thanks for sharing! :)

[@ShawhinTalebi]

Hope it was helpful!

I've an advice to add for new Data Science Freelancers just starting out. Don't start off with Upwork. It's too competitive, it's going to demotivate you. Rather target college data science projects, which students want to get done, these are easier to get, do these while upskilling yourself for Upwork. This is what I'm doing too.

[@ShawhinTalebi]

Thanks for your insight! This is a sentiment I’ve heard from a few long time Upwork folks. It seems to be getting harder to get started on the platform.

[@ifycadeau]

Thank you for spending this money learning so I don’t have to!!🙏🏾

[@ShawhinTalebi]

Happy to do it! I learned a lot :)

[@meskinehocine6262]

I've tried contacting some people before so i can learn from them but most of them didn't even reply, thank you for this video i really appreciate it

[@ShawhinTalebi]

I ran into the same roadblock. The "trick" I found was to book time with those who had a 1:1 consultation option on their profile 😆

[@GenZdev]

A video on tech stack in detail will be great

[@ShawhinTalebi]

Great suggestion! I was thinking of doing a whole series on "the full data science tech stack"

[@partha384]

Too slow talk. I had to listen to it on 1.5/1.75x.

[@ShawhinTalebi]

Thanks for the feedback! (P.S. I watch 80% of YT videos at that speed XD)
