I just keep hearing all these people that preach this, but I don't see anything substantial (that isn't something stupid or a tutorial they followed from medium) that anyone responds with. e.g. of a meh: give me top 10 HN articles for today and summarize the contents, add tags and build a website. I know AI can do that, but it's not impressive.
Not to pick on you, be mean or anything, but your github profile says no contributions in a year. Obviously there are other online git repo sites.
Care to share anything in prod? For a reply so aggressive, the proof is in the pudding.
AI is already more or less ultimately powerful with nearly endless ressources - though, no one built a big software company in the last 3 - 4 years solely with AI to replace one of the behemoths.
The fact that you own a car which could bring you everywhere does not mean that you actually will go eveywhere.
On a conference 2 month ago, one speaker claimed that AI will be so powerful that within 3 years there will be guys who replace microsoft because they have a better coding AI than today.
I once shard a flat/apartment with a female social butterfly. She once gave me some great advice, which is to NEVER turn down an invitation.
Going out and trying to be comfortable in non-ideal situations (i.e. you know hardly anyone there) is a skill you can learn. I often think it's probably like sales cold calling. After a while you develop calluses.
When I go to tech meetups, I often see a great deal of people sitting alone using their phones, because interacting with people you don't know is scary.
Try to resist! Yeah it's scary but most tech-heads are as nerdy/goofy as you and are interested in all the details of whatever you hacking on.
There's a lot of context around stuff he said. It seems to me that people are very eager to tag people with labels from others. I don't get the impression that others have seen many of his YouTube videos.
It's valuable to maybe watch the episodes and make your own mind up.
For those that liked Scott Adams might like some Lofi-like music by the artist "Akira The Don". He sampled some videos from Scott against Japanese anime.
Try another idea (while still running the above). Go for $1000 MMR. Still too small.
This is harder than you think and will teach you incredible skills. Next: keep going. :)
DISCLAIMER: obviously don't quit your job/starve/become homeless etc to try this.
