Working with Russell. Looking at stats for our project. It was faster, using AI. We still spent just under 150 hours, but it would have taken us over 600, if we did it in a traditional style. That was good to see.

Russell was showing me some of the voice stuff with ChatGPT. He was using his phone and just chatting with the bot. He has even gone on walks and gives it tons of information. He then jumped on the computer, had it make him a markdown document, and we went over the markdown together.

From Russell, as we were talking... if you know more, your job may be to help others learn and lift them up.

Also from Russell - treat work as if you are employed by God, it helps you have the right outlook.

Looking at some classes and underlying API structure stuff. Some of this code is some stuff that Russell is or has been working on. He would like to use his API engine to do some adilas work. comparing older REST and context API stuff. For Russell's stuff, you just specify the model (database table) and then the system self generates the underlying API based on that model. We spent some time going over some of his documentation and some samples. We were doing good, and then kinda got bogged down in some deep details and likes and dislikes. We ended up chatting about options as we were going through things.

- Sometimes, we make monsters... (our code or application blocks... huge, monsters, that have to be fed, and taken care of...)

- Doing tons with just the basics - it's okay to explore and experiment - as you experiment, you grow.
