I’m going to get downvoted, and that’s okay, I understand why, but I just want to explain why some people do this. I tried for years to learn to code in various languages, hell I even bought expensive courses to try and help, but I’m either too dumb or not chemically balanced enough to focus and retain the knowledge and I can’t afford college classes nor the time away from a steady job to take them without losing my mortgage, I also don’t have the money to pay someone to code programs for me. So from the time I was about 14 and got my first computer to now at 35, every idea I’ve ever had for a program or a mod or some other coding work needed to be so simple a baby could figure out the code from context clues or I was just out of luck. Since LLMs have come about I have created several small applications that do what I always dreamed of and no one else online was willing or interested in bringing to the table, and a few of them fill niche roles that people really wanted an option for but never existed like mod organizers for certain games.
So hate me all you want for the choice I’m making, but if the alternative is going back to just dreaming about the programs I want to see instead of actually seeing them come to fruition, I’m going to choose this every time.
