Shame I’m more cat than dog.

[@th4tAlbinoGuy]

LMAO that caught me so off guard but I love it

[@nemosaurus]

I'm so glad you included that

[@samarnagar9699]

Omg he is the treesitter

[@VovaY]

Video about the treesitter, right?

[@anirudhata]

How about you watch the video instead of asking?

[@bohdanvinter6929]

LMAOOO

[@Lauhkz]

that's a good one

[@robber_fox]

@@anirudhata whoosh

[@anirudhata]

Sorry I did not get the joke earlier.. Now got it

[@alexwall7204]

I'm really enjoying these videos where you're simply giving us more of what you're thinking. Thanks for sharing TJ!

Teej - that one professor who loves outdoor classes 😂😂

[@MrDemino]

I have been trying to learn programming on my own for a long time and always ended up at some dead end after which it just was too hard to learn on my own and there was nobody i could talk to about. With chatGPT and LLMs, i have finally found a way to learn the way that works best for me. It is the most patient and polite teacher you can ever find and it works better when you give it source material and then talk through it. Thank you for making this video.

I can’t wait for the next video when he’s clinging to the top branches or has just made a treehouse as his new “studio” Slowly merging primitive technology channel with neovim

[@teej_dv]

Dan you can just message me this

[@xomiachuna]

There was this time in my carrier right after I switched to ml after 2 years in mobile dev and was afraid that I wasted a lot of time by not being consistent in my domain. Then 2 years after that I switched my role and stack yet again and now after 3 years after that I will soon do another switch. For years I thought that something is wrong with my approach, that I have to settle and stop thrashing around. But increasingly I started to see that all those detours along the way actually often enabled a lot of new opportunities later down the road. Now I see that my experience is actually useful in many contexts and unlocks a lot of various roads ahead. This experience couldn't have been acquired by limiting my curiosity to one domain only. In the past few months I embraced my curiosity and now I feel as though this made me actually enjoy the field a lot more. I dunno how the world will turn out in the next decade but sitting in one place is definitely not a good way to go about it. Thanks for this video, it feels good to hear about so many similar points in your career.

[@CodemanBen]

Genuinely thought this was going to start with "Have you ever ... ever had a dream ... that ... a dream ... that ... you could ... that you could ...could you ... dream ... that you could do anything?"

[@ivanjermakov]

LLMs are amazing in outlining problems you're not expert in. Which solves a big problem in self-learning of "I don't know what I don't know".

[@ficolas2]

The thing is, we had that in the past, with chats, forums, IRC, etc. The difference is that before, you had to wait for your answer, and you had to "bother" someone, so you struggled a lot before asking. That struggle is such a good learning experience. Reading documentation, and reading 10 things you weren't looking for but may be useful in the future. We lose those kinds of things if we abuse AI. And it's so easy to abuse it. I feel like we should all dedicate time every day to just reading. Documentation, tutorials, books, whatever. Something that isn't exactly what I need, when I need it.

[@ivanjermakov]

@@ficolas2 I also feel this "inflation" of learning, because it's so easy to fell into the trap of "why learn and memorize, if I could just search for it, ask someone else (human or AI)".

[@illusry7631]

i love these new types of videos. I mean i love all your content lol

[@janhorak5363]

hello TJ from all of this tech internet people i feel the most "human like relatable energy" i feel genuine excitement. thanks for being like this, its pleasant to relate to someone, someone that is further in life

[@trashich]

yes human factor / soft skills is very important, still I don't fully understand my coworkers, but to find a common vision would be awesome, explaining, checking that everything is understood and commonly agreed, understanding which mechanics are holding people back, learning to not be too emotional, my LLM could be my confident, I would teach it to help me learn human interactions, one small team can be so powerful, this is my experience / lesson from you, because like you said the world is big, everyone is unique, thanks TJ for sharing like that :)

[@nickmills8476]

An old coworker once said to me, you’re not a tinkerer are you? At the time, I thought it was a good thing, always prioritizing what is useful. But since then, I’ve come to learn some of the value in tinkering, and now see it as vital for progress. Others such as Nassim Taleb, Steve Jobs have spoken about this very eloquently, we should listen. There doesn’t always need to be an immediate answer as to why you are doing something.

[@rpm2508]

These videos are awesome! I could watch you digress about stuff for hours.

[@cag1]

good one. I really like it. Be curious, get good at what you find interesting and in the end it'll work out for you.

[@aasutossh]

Amazing content

[@lifelover69]

i wish more people hear this, you're spot on

[@kuvinci]

I'm glad you actually put that at the end

[@jollyjerr]

Facts on facts TJ, love the new content!

This is where 1 based indexing leads. For real though, agree so much with the message.

[@qwfp]

"This is where 1 based indexing leads." You mean outside? Yeah, we can't have that

[@examinethose]

doggo yeeting away instantly ... sad

[@ficolas2]

Please make this a series, just sit on a tree, and talk about life

[@jacksturgess6037]

please keep making these :)

[@uhl7792]

My neovim treesitter also wears a red sweater

[@animanaut]

time to apply the reverse fishing maneuver: instead of asking llms for some fried fish, ask them for tips on catching and recipes. Give a fish/teach how to fish in reverse iykwim

[@SagarPratap-md5vz]

I love it! learning nvim btw

[@snowmonstero]

We would be great friends. Your flavor of logic is appealing.

[@jamesarthurkimbell]

A tree gets sat on and you think that of me? No. I am the one who sits.

[@GustavoViana-p6v]

I showed this to my cat. I don't have a cat anymore.

[@TylerHillery]

In realm of this talk I recommend people checking out this book "Fluke: Chance, Chaos, and Why Everything We Do Matters"

[@victorgabr]

Soon, TJ will release a new treesitter written in holy Lua, his new programming language. 😊

[@Guilherme-qk9so]

you are very smart, thanks for the words

[@silvernode]

There tree is the centerpiece and I consider it a necessity to have in these types of videos going forward.

[@teej_dv]

it's a very nice tree

Life is for the living.. Technology is meant to be a tool for thought and communication between the living. Don't fall for the trap of artificial life and pre-packaged symbols.

11:11 The told story of your sister doesn't show what impact her visit had on her employment. Was the person she talked to even somehow involved in the recruitment process? What are the chances such person would be on the very front of the company?

I was lazy and didn't want to watch the video so I fed it into chatgpt and it said that this video has no value so I disliked it, bye. VSCode btw, windows btw, cursor btw, copilot btw.
