I don’t expect most people to really understand the inner workings of a LLM when few don’t know that for the phone, TV, car, computer, microwave, and other technologies in our home today.

As for TV, people make decisions about display type (LED, OLED, LCD, etc.) without understanding what each display technology does. People allow Netflix and others to use personal recommendations to make decisions for them. Finally, few can actually name the components inside the TV right now.

Nowadays, most of us wait until the car tells us what’s wrong with the car (e.g. tire pressure, oil change, tire replacement, etc) without truly understanding the best ways to prevent and maintain the car. Same with driving the car and lane/car detection, which is why more people drive worse today.

I disagree. We have become comfortable with the abstraction of knowledge with technology. If you apply it here, you need to apply it across the board with everything else (e.g. TV, computer, phone, car, internet, electricity, etc.) We won’t because we are lazy to understand unless it doesn’t work.

#1 and #2 can be done together. Just sit down and break down the bare minimum (about, contact, a paragraph about what you do) and create a basic landing page on wix or any website builder and launch this weekend. These places have basic e-commerce too so you can enable when ready too.

Hahaha no worries. I completely understand how you feel. When this happens, I just write things down in a notebook and then focus on one thing.. only one thing.. at a time. When I get done, then I check it off. This way, i have something to feel good about when I struggle on the next step haha

I wouldn’t worry about arrow functions yet. Just focus on building code no matter how it looks. You can worry about arrow functions and other features later when you focus on making the code more efficient.

Yess!! This is the way to go through the code. It will always look ugly at first but this is how you learn.

One suggestion is to call variables in a single line for the API call like this.

let { placeName, lat, lng, postalcode} = output_postal.postalcodes[0];

Keep up the great work!

My main recommendation is to pick small projects or problems and build the solutions to them. Each time you successfully complete a project, it makes it easier to reflect on your progress when you get stumped on the next project.
