🚧 Software Engineering In Progress 🚧

Joined April 2022
After 11 months and 800 applications, I've successfully landed a W-2 as a software engineer! So many people helped me along the way with valuable insight and motivation. I'm pleased to have made it to the other side and look forward to helping others the same way I was helped.

I just used ChatGPT & Notion to create & document a complete meal plan with literally 15,625 (6 meals/5 options each) ways to eat, that are specific to my desired fitness goals, caloric intake, and macronutrient ratios. It even took into consideration my preferred cuisine 😳

And here I was looking at cooking instagram videos, googling the nutritional value of everything. I quickly got overwhelmed😅 Here's the link in case anyone wants to see what I'm gonna be eating 📓notion.so/ChatGPT-Meal-Plans…

The meal plan started off pretty vague by just stating the specific ingredients, but got more interesting as cuisines were specified. I also asked for specific quantities so that it'd meet my caloric requirements. Best/worst of all, every meal is healthy.

When you ask ChatGPT something, do you say please? I can't help it😂

This is Air And it’s 500ms away from making a lot of jobs redundant It can perform full 5-40 minute long sales & customer service calls over the phone that sound like a human It can perform actions autonomously across 5,000 unique applications 🧵 xitter.cf/CalebMaddix/status/168…

Because I've been looking at it so much, 'join' is now a very strange word to me

Learned about React/TS prop annotations today. The greatest hurdle I overcame was that one of my files was jsx instead of tsx :') lmao. 2nd was do not include '.ts' in imports. 3rd was vercel being able to host env variables. ✨L e a r n i n g✨

Alright y'all. I'm going to start building in public. For my first act, I'm building a user-generated archive for keyboard enthusiasts. To run this for free.99, I'll be using Next.js paired with Supabase. It's my first time using Next, Supabase, and Typescript so should be fun😮

Update: Rudimentary landing page and feed are in place. I'm typically more MVP-oriented but I'm still thinking about the best way to store/pull data in such a manner will allow for trie autocomplete, which needs a list to autocomplete with.

I reflect often on the catalysts of my decision to become a SWE. This paradox is really interesting and I think my version is equally ironic. Only after arriving at what I thought was "good" in my career, was I afforded the ability to reflect on whether it was what I even wanted.

Interview Breaker — a ChatGPT tool that tells you what to say in job interviews. AI will upend every process with just a few lines of code. We’ve already seen it with school essays. Interviews will need to adapt, too.

I gave GPT-4 a budget of $100 and told it to make as much money as possible. I'm acting as its human liaison, buying anything it says to. Do you think it'll be able to make smart investments and build an online business? Follow along 👀

I like to listen to this plane crash podcast when flying (called Black Box Down). It’s like a free 4D experience 😀

Just finished a coding assessment for a job. I literally learned Python so that I could take this assessment. Just wanted to share this spread with y'all. It's so satisfying to me🤧😮‍💨

Accidentally selected the 'blend' option on this vanilla sweet cream cold brew and wow that was one of the top 10 best mistakes of my life
