I want money for some reason, not sure why but i just do, i guess just in case something were to happen.

Ive tried surveys and various gpt sites as they are called, but havent had luck yet, and i find them to usually be annoying more than anything.

Im at home alot because i cant drive and the job market is overcrowded in my area, not like i could handle a job anyway.

What would you advise i try or look into, and why so? Im not sure if i should post this here or somewhere else?

    my attention span can never do these.

    someone has to near-literally force my hand into learning anything for me to do so, and even then I’ll get put on academic probation from a for-profit now-defunct arts college.

      Treat it like a menu not a curriculum and it can help you build a hobby and learn as well. Just learn what you want. Then when you get stuck due to a gap in knowledge you’ll be more interested in learning the solution.

      Start with a python script to scrape the weather or some news that interests you and turn that into an rss feed. Or anything really.

        Thanks for the encouragement.

        Right now I’m trying to make an online shop for a friend’s hobby, and did some web stuff when I was a teen, but I always get hung up on php/mysql stuff.

        It doesn’t help I’m a minimalist cheapskate and am trying to use the bare minimum to set her up (namely nearlyfreespeech hosting— which doesn’t hold your hand; and drupal). I’ll get far enough and hit a roadblock, step away, then come back and forget where I was and just start over.

          https://deepwiki.com/drupal/drupal

          It’s a RAG that will only answer questions about the selected repo (drupal in this case) less likely to hallucinate as it’ll only pull from the github docs, but it can still hallucinate. Also uses less resources as it’s not searching all known training data.

          It is still an LLM though so if you don’t like any “AI” I wouldn’t use it.
