This hits too close. I was doing poorly at work for a few months with much the same symptoms: anxiety, severe brain fog, lethargy, etc. On good days I was at maybe 30%. A few days after being laid off I went to the…
You MUST use RAG (retrieval augmented generation) for ChatGPT to be generally useful for programming. I use a ChatGPT-based script using RAG to work with code-bases. I include text documentation included in the…
Can definitely relate here. I've been accused of "mansplaining" and aggressive communication more than once, when I am only intending to communicate clearly and directly the same way I always do with everyone all the…
