Ask HN: Anyone using LLMs as personal assistant?
With the rise of even conversational LLMs I wonder if anybody is using it as a personal assistant on a daily basis instead of just doing "ok Google" or "Siri" task management.
I know C/C++ (mid maybe? or junior+), electronics, CAD and 3d Modeling, etc
I dont live in the US and I have many colleges that work remotely but they are software developers, I want to start working on firmware or embedded so I can work remotely.
Any suggestions would be much appriciated it
So I wanna know who has stopped sucessfully stopped procrastinating, because I would like to hear from you.
Here are some of the things to describe my procrastinating situation:
* I tend to leave things to the last minute. Most of the time it usually goes very well, unless I've heavely understimated the task which happens 1/10 times. Most of the things I need to do are important but not urgent, so they require to be proactive
* I get bored or distracted easily, I don't belive in ADHD, but according to the definition I definetly have it. So thats why I sometimes prefer tinker with a RPi on a project that has my interest instead of the ticket I know I can finish by just focusing 15min.
* I gravitate to being a night owl, but I like to be an easly bird. In a period of my life I was getting up at 5:45 and studying and excersicing. Getting up early made it that I can do tasks without distraction before anybody got up. Issue is my tendency to leave things till the last minute fucks up with sleep schedule making me a night owl for a couple of days and then fucking me up if I wanna go back to wake up early.
* As typical in procrastinators, I tend to ignore big tasks because they seem difficult or tedious, but when you start doing them most of the time I get into the flow in about 15mins into the task making me wonder why did I took so long to start the task.
* Most crucially, I fundamentally thing theres always "more time", which objectively and rationally I know this is not the case, but the way I manage myself during the day is: "Nah' I can do this later". When in reality its up to my most convinience to do that task right then and there.
* Also, you may relate to this, I have 2000 videos on my youtube watch later playlist and lost count on my "To read" bookmark on Chrome.
I wanna try new things this year, write goals quaterly and maybe look for a mantra, some word of escenario I can pop into my head to make me do what I need to do in that moment.
Thanks in advanced.
Context: She works at an offshore software company leading a mobile app pet/animal industry related, developed as a internal project.
She has 2 years of mobile development experience and 1 year of Flutter experience (and all shennaingans). This is her first job and she makes 55k (not the real number, but to later compare to the offer). She likes mobile development and she would like her next job to be a step up in seniority and pay raise, also tittled Mobile Developer, as she officially is full stack developer now.
She got an offer from a bank for 75k. But its doing visual programming, she has a friend who works there, theres a lot of opportunity to grow, pay is better, etc.
She has 1 year payraise overdue, and they will probably just offer to raise her current salary to 66k.
1) How would you guys approach this so you can get hopefully matching offer? she rather stay, but she would like to maximize the opportunity of the job offer
