What's going on everybody?

[@Kevin-cy2dr]

Hey bro, I started watching your tutorials from high school through college(undergrad,masters),now I'm a python dev. Thanks a lot for everything. I owe my career to people like you. You guys are the real heroes.

[@sentdex]

Congrats on your successes! Always cool to hear stuff like this

[@II_xD_II]

Same From middle school And now In undergrad

[@mritunjay3723]

Same here

[@zemil8460]

Why is it the evolution of a developer is to eventually wanting to move to a farm lmao. Nice ranch btw

[@sentdex]

Think it's a combination of programmers tend to be self-learners and self sufficient-minded + urge to do more engineering, but away from a screen/digital world.

[@dyllanusher1379]

Worked my ass off for a few years in software, now i run a small farm and only touch the keys to make side money every now and then.

[@JustVoylin]

@@sentdex Programmers indeed tend to be self-learners and often want to start doing everything by themselves (good example is the amount of software and framework which exists that does the exact same). I live in Japan and also planning on moving to the country-side and planning on growing most of my vegetables myself. :p

[@TheChees1996]

Cause they have seen where this is going to go and said fuck it I'm out.

[@herashak]

The developer urge to automate something you don’t fully understand

[@adempc]

Glad you're doing well. Have fun with the kids. Wishing you and your family the best. Thanks so much for everything.

[@sentdex]

Thank you! Hope all is well with you too

[@ast33l]

Started watching 9 years ago (found you via the python/ flask series) and I'm glad to see that life is going well. Hope you and the family continue to prosper, much love from the Carolinas.

[@SamWouters-SW]

I'm really happy for you, amazing to see what you're building for your family 😄

[@Infinitely16]

I kid you not, literally yesterday I randomly thought, "I wonder where sentdex went" xD

[@kabir_dot_exe]

Have fun! Well deserved. Just going through your RL series. Love seeing your tweets with pictures from your ranch. Breath of fresh air.

[@samprice3791]

Came across your neural networks from scratch series/book as a curious 16 year old and fell in love with all things machine learning. I'm now 20 and about one month away from graduating university with a degree in comp sci majoring in AI! Thank you sentdex!

[@sentdex]

Awesome to hear! Best wishes on your career path!

[@devprakashsharma4972]

This is really amazing. I love how beautifully you have wrapped up this video with such nice landscapes, lots of greens, and everything that you do.

[@rezahosseini7851]

I grew up learning programming with you sentdex. I'm so happy you're doing fine out there! Keep it up and have fun!

[@thehardwareguy]

Congratulations Harrison! being a creator myself, and having followed you for a decade I can appreciate the hard work you put in. You deserve it man, I'm happy for you. Keep bringing us these vlogs, looks fun and it's insightful! I hope to do something similar one day. Cheers! ~Gareth

[@sentdex]

Love your content as well! I need to build that CNC

[@valhalla_dev]

Oh wow, you're just a couple hours north of me now. Gorgeous property, and very cool to see one of my favorite CS content creators getting into homesteading, which is something else I want to get into. Glad your growing family is well!

[@waiting4more]

For what it's worth, one of the huge upsides of a great creator like you making tutorials is getting suggestions of what's possible. LLMs are great for learning things, but often people don't know good questions to ask. Love seeing the ranch! Will definitely watch the solar progression.

[@sentdex]

Youre probably right there. I almost shared a 3D game of life but figuring out how to package it is hard. Its basically just constant r&d til it works. Not sure itd be an enjoyable watch

[@DanielTompkinsGuitar]

I started watching your channel way back when _my_ twin daughters were just slightly older than toddlers. I was a grad music student then trying to learn some ML, and now I've been working as an ML scientist for over 7 years. Time goes by so quickly. Thanks for all your work, and enjoy being in the twins club. It's a very busy one but is also very rewarding!

[@behappyalways7192]

Congratulations for twin toddlers ❤

[@GigaFro]

Love the drone vlog with narration. Pretty awesome and nice to hear you are doing well :)

[@ferdyg3520]

I really love these rambling about projects type videos. Really reminds me of the old days where you always had all these projects and worked on them for a bit and shared the progress. You are probably one of my top priorities to watch whenever a new video comes out. Happy to see you doing well and keeping busy with all sorts of things.

[@SpeedRunningStartups]

You taught me and a lot of other young people programming, we are forever grateful for that. Thank you.

[@shawnfromportland]

loved the update as a fellow tech bro who left the city and bought a ranch. im very jealous of your FPV I want to get one one day

[@sentdex]

They're incredibly cheap now and the tech for these is absolutely bananas. The digital fpv stream is nothing like how things used to be with the analogs and the signal strength seems p solid even when flying thru dense forest. Sometimes I just go exploring in the woods. Probably microwaving my brain every time I use it, but damn it's fun XD.

[@cadeljones2481]

Super inspiring. I admire the life you are building for yourself. I am hoping we get to see more ranch and family content from you!

[@cnaccio]

This has been on my mind for the last year. There's just something about getting away from everything that's so comforting. Love seeing this!

[@BrianMaddox]

Glad to see you back! As a father of twins, I get it why you’re so busy. It’ll get better…… eventually 😂

[@ze2411]

I learnt how to use Python and Machine Learning using Tensorflow and Pytorch from your tutorials. Thank you sensei!

[@Sunlight91]

I forgot I'm subscribed to you. I watched your Python tutorials back in 2016.

[@sentdex]

Welcome back. Hope youre doin well

[@TheOnlyDerrekOnThisPlatform]

I've only just recently found your channel, while I was learning about neural networks. Your Tutorials have been really helpful, thanks for everything. :)

[@KamiKomplex504]

This is so cool man, you are living every burnt out tech bro's dream. I definitely plan to follow down this path in another decade.

[@wayneqwele8847]

oh man this is awesome update, love the drone tour of the farm.

[@spenchurch]

so awesome to see you're doing great!! it's so cool to see the setup you have now with the ranch and fam :)

[@russelllapua4904]

Heyyyy it's sentdex! You are the one that got me into computer science and machine learning. You're changing lives for the better. Hope you and the family are well.

[@21e6Crypto]

Awesome video mate, walking a very similar path as you as we are moving rurally, also going large with solar, also deploying hydroponics for family vegetables powered via solar.

[@divyagnan184]

Master, Glad to see you again. I learnt a lot. Thank you for all the tutorials and the book.

[@squid84202]

I don't know if it's because the good jobs in our field tend to be in big cities, but there's just something very appealing about living in the countryside with high speed internet and few neighbors. Also didn't know your drone could go that far with so many trees around. That's pretty cool.

[@lolmeOzzi]

Nice hearing you are doing well! Currently enjoying NNFS, it’s great so far

[@KylePapili]

Absolutely awesome video. Please make more ranch / power / off grid videos!!

[@ktravers]

Hey man! You were my first influencer that got me into Python. I will forever be in your debt. Love you man!

[@PatrickQT]

You're living the dream. Congratz!

[@a_maxed_out_handle_of_30_chars]

[@MusingMouse]

Glad things are going well for you and your family. Keep living the dream!

[@RomeshEtulgama]

Dude 😮 it's been so long. it's so good to see you! You inspired me and my friends, big time.

[@xXMockapapellaXx]

Thank you for inspiring me to put in the effort to become a programmer 8ish years ago. It was your Python Plays GTAV that got me hooked right as I dropped out of college. I’m deploying LLMs now. Worked in big tech. In some sense pushing up against the boundaries of what’s technically feasible. Started and closed some startups. I have a family now. I’ve done well for myself, but I will forever be grateful to you for providing me with an accessible opportunity to learn how to program. A part of me is sad to know that there won’t be more of those kinds of tutorials (for no reason other than nostalgia), but I understand. Can’t blame ya really, I’d probably do the same thing. Anyways, thanks. I’m glad to see you and your family are doing well.

[@sentdex]

I still think about doing tutorials re: devving with LLMs or something, it's just totally different now. But I still think people could be inspired to work on cool stuff very much in the same way. It was just so easy to package previous tutorials, I need a new way to present it.

[@xXMockapapellaXx]

@@sentdex Maybe build a brand new thing using LLMs each video? It would give insight into how to think about using them. From my experience, unlike with text to image AIs like with Midjourney where all the prompts are public, working with code and AI isn’t, so it’s much harder for a newbie to understand how to properly use an AI for coding.

[@comosaycomosah]

Glad to see youre doing good. What a beautiful place bro youre living the dream. This is literally THE goal in life.

[@LeePenkman]

nice also in a nice hectare working at it in a lonely 1k person town out here down in New Zealand Thames... pretty relaxing ! A bit harder to buy things though down here so lots of improvising

[@book_beats]

The ranching content is pretty good, please keep it coming :) Seems like almost every programmer eventually would like to end up on a farm, so congrats that you are already there!

[@Mtylgd]

I have an entire Tesla solar panel and battery backup at home. This makes life so much easier when hurricanes pass by. It has saved my bacon twice already. Also, power in my area has gotten so expensive that even with the loan I got to buy the system, we are paying half of what we would be paying without the system.

[@thetruereality2]

Glad to hear from you and happy that youre doing well and enjoying what youre doing which is inspiring. Keep posting

[@philipkopylov3058]

Loved the drone tour!

[@Undertheroot]

Its finally good to see you after very long time. I was checking your channel yesterday . Have fun with the kids.

[@rebelScience]

I am working towards mostly off-grid house. What a dream. Living off-grid, on solar, and doing biotech research/programming. What state is your land in, and what was the approximate price? UPDATE: It is Alabama.😊

[@sentdex]

Depends where you're looking for land and the proximity to city + other features of the property like water access/pond/creek, flood status, zoning, and other factors like farm-ability...etc. Generally land is 3-6K an acre around here, but it varies a ton based on a bunch of factors.

[@ambarjm3300]

i am from India and your videos really helped me a lot learning and understanding new things. thank you

[@PetWanties]

Congratulations on the twins, they are going to have so much cool stuff to play with growing up! Something I wondered; if the power goes out, do you lose internet access as well or is the ISP connection unaffected? Do the cell towers in a remote area have backups or different powerlines? Totally agree on staying on grid in combination with solar, seems by far the most cost effective solution. The power infrastructure in general is a bit underdeveloped right now but I'm sure we'll see power infra upgrades over the coming years / decade in the remote areas. The ranch is looking amazing! Owning a tractor / shovel (I guess excavator in English?) is really a force multiplier for so many projects. As for a horse or donkey, maybe you could look for rescued ones that need a home (if it's an option for you - I'm not sure)? Living the dream!!

[@sentdex]

At the moment i lose net because of where the starlink is connected. Once i solar the first chunk of the house though i wont lose internet anymore even if city power drops. Cell should stay in tact but we have p bad cell out here anyway. Have looked at some donkey rescues and apparently BLM adopts out and sells some from their lands as they get over populated.

maybe u can rent out ur power to the village in case something breaks ^^

[@jamesc7400]

Interesting, I am in Africa. We also have regular power outages. Same thinking as you. I use portable inverters with solar input rather than fixed, also not for investment purposes. Watch out for danger of voltages above 50v, also Don’t switch off / disconnect panels when fully illuminated. DC plasma arcing can cause fire.

[@sentdex]

Thanks! One of the really nice things these hysolis units come with is a PV breaker per inverter, so it's just 1 more way to be 100% confident there's nothing attempting to draw power as you connect/disconnect. Trust me, I'm going extremely slow every time I'm connecting or disconnecting things lol. Electricity scares me.
