Thanks! Appreciate the encouragement

It's no secret! I used Tyler Hobbs' method which has a great write up here:

Then I tweaked it until it look good for use in my app.

Very cool - has a very dreamlike quality to it

Definitely know where you're coming from. I work as a developer in a government job that is unionized, and even though the salary is less than market rate, the security of it keeps me there. If such opportunities are available wherever you're located could be worth looking into. While there are aspects of a gov job that can be boring, overall it's actually been really interesting and challenging work.

Just a little hack project for fun, the kids loved it.

Anyone played around with this much? Seems interesting, and I'm curious how well it's sped up performance in practical usage.

Check out JoseBriones on YouTube - great dumbphone review channel

Try using Jupyter Notebooks or another notebook based programming environment. Good way to change things up and very enjoyable to use :-)

I've done something similar with gpt3 (codex) and had good results

Definitely agree with this - in 2022 this just seems humane more than anything.
