My 2-month experiment with machinelearning from my winter notes

> Tiny progress is still progress.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where prompts stopped feeling new.

I started this because my first week felt a little stuck, and tools seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

This is the kind of disagreement I like.

This is the kind of useful internet I still show up for. This is where I would ask one more question before choosing.

Did anyone else read this and immediately make a tiny checklist? The weekend version is even more interesting. A small test case would make this easier to trust.

Great point, especially the part about winter. It sounds small, but the routine matters.

Wonderful detail. It makes the whole thing feel real. That is the kind of detail beginners miss. Good reminder that tools should serve people, not the reverse.
