These are very good but i think an article this long could be perhaps separated into 3 parts linking them together as previous and next part. I like to read these at work but sometimes when going gets hectic you Loose where you were when scrolling other things in between. But thats just my suggestion 🤔

I like to reply on Stigs comment as I agree and it refers to my tiering experience of LLM - AI a lot of words repetition of previous context slightly layout change but no better meaning. I m not blaming Rick in any sense as he s higly productive and dedicated and att YT he openly state he do not put time to correct AI mistakes as long the product get finnished. In my view beeing a singel person running his mssion is heavy and is there any support we can give I hope he will tell. Bless you all!

Well, this network won't be around for long and then you can go critique the next one you come across. You act as if this is professionally done. It's my sandbox. You're in it. Always other ones out there.
