If I was younger and had less budget but (presumably) more time, I’d love to be learning about the harnesses and squeezing more out of the open models.

It’s probably generally true that our obligations increase as we get older and the constraints shift around. I’m really enjoying how the frontier models make me more productive, as I figure out how to use them, so have more wiggle room on cost but less time.

Anyway… being nostalgic but I suspect I learned a tonne when cost was the constraint, but was less “productive”.
