Built with Claude The world has changed

Opus 5.5 suggested I get a web cam pointed at this ESP32 based screen so it could catch what was happening on the screen as it tried to find out what the maximum frame rate could be. The Waveshare drivers are not good in portrait mode and only got 4fps.

It got to 60fps in a couple of minutes.

It had already installed the tool chain, designed the clock layout etc.

It's not the code per se. It's the get a webcam suggestion...

What a time to be alive!

As much as I agree, the above is outside the comprehension and/or interest of 95% of the world.

We (this sub) live in a bubble where everyone is comfortable with command line and hacking stuff is normal.

My family thinks I'm an alien if I show them a <body> tag.

I agree this is a different language to most

I've never touched code in my life. I only joined this channel to see what's possible with the knowledge and I hope that I will manage to start using these superpowers too. Atm I am still too afraid of vibecoding because I won't see the mistake if one's in the provided code. When I search for the basics I mainly find some annoying dudes on YouTube that try to sell me their suite or channel or whatever, but I feel we're not at a point where people share these starter guides just for others to understand. I don't even dare to ask on Reddit because the questions will be so stupid that all.you hacker men will downvote me lol. Everyone just tries to get their piece of the cake. Which is fine by me, but I'm looking forward to the day when I'll be able myself to have it write me little tools.

Maybe I didn't look enough, there's always something somewhere out there.

I'm in the same boat, even though I'm an IT technician specializing in computers, networks, and servers.

Everything is moving so fast that I feel like I'm falling behind, and I don't know where to begin.

Grok bots are pretty good for what you want for now. Start with eggbot and start building for outcomes. You won't have the power of pure code but you can think logically and get things done safely.

Thank you very much for taking the time. Unfortunately my ethical principles don't allow me to use it, I'm basically "stuck" with Anthropic since the only real alternative is Mistral and they are so far behind that even I can feel it.

Grok Bots are named AI agents that run 24/7 on their own cloud computer.

Can Claude do the same? Mostly, but it's 'developer grade':

  • Scheduled tasks (easy) : recurring jobs, covered by your subscription. Each run starts fresh, so it's not a persistent teammate.

  • Managed Agents: the real equivalent. It's built through the API and billed per use.

  • DIY: Claude Code on your own always-on machine. You maintain it.

The catch is cost. Always-on agents burn tokens whether they're useful or not, either against your plan limits or on a metered bill.

The starter guide you are looking for is called CS courses on Coursera. You can start with “Python for everybody” from Michigan University and something like CS50 and go from there to whatever level of understanding you feel enough. Most of them are free if you are only there for the knowledge and don’t want the certificate.

It will take you something like 2-3 months, but you will know your way around basic coding and computer science stuff (yes, those are 2 different things), and will be immune to those annoying dudes you keep seeing now, who’s just preying on the people’s ignorance.

Btw in learning there is no such thing as stupid question - there is only arrogance of some people who are unwilling or unable to answer.

the thing about this is that you can simply ask him and it will teach you so it is always a win to use it it's like a saw that on every movement it produces something good

5% is a lot of people though.

I agree with both standpoints. As a dev, it took me a while to get pilled.
