@calle is right damn right here, spilling out the truths, and I can't fathom how anyone dives into these LLMs without their skull cracking open from the sheer explosive advantages for coding — it's like discovering a vein of lifeblood pulsing through the machine! image Is it really so vital that I cram every filthy detail of CSS into my brain, or wrestle with the serpentine coils of a proper regular expression, as if my soul depended on it? But hell, this is the eternal saga of every technological leap, isn't it? The old guard like grizzled priests in crumbling temples, chanting incantations to ward off the unholy lightning of innovation. The blunder everyone's making, the knee-jerk spasm, is this hysterical notion that LLMs will wipe out programmers like some biblical flood — ha! As if! LLMs no more obliterate programming than the camera erased the raw, sweaty act of painting — no, they liberate it, they thrust it into new orgies of creation! These skeptics, they haven't plunged deep enough down the rabbit hole yet, haven't tasted the abyss. They're not masters of these tools, not by a long shot. Hell, probably none of us are, but I'm starting to glimpse it, feel the contours of this mad adventure unfolding. Prompt engineering? That's pure engineering, baby, a craft of the gods! Not some lazy scribble like "Make a web page that's yellow with a picture slapped in the center" — no, it's the programmer as alchemist, forging a curated chaos of references and instruments for the LLM, steering it through the labyrinth like a lover guiding a frenzied dance. For instance my prompts will include the NOSTR NIPS, but all of them? Christ, no! Which to cast aside? That's the art, the engineering heartbeat, one in a thousand savage trade-offs, balancing on the knife's edge. Which language to wield? One, or a horde? Sure, some tasks cry out for specific tongues, better suited than others, but before this, I couldn't have fucked around with more than a couple without losing my mind. Now? The whole sprawling world of programming languages unfurls before me like a banquet of forbidden fruits! But even this vision's too damn narrow, too confined. I'm ablaze with excitement to build this reference library for my LLMs, feeding them as they birth my wildest creations — oh, the possibilities! My library, the one I guide down the throats of these LLMs, it'll brim with NOSTR NIPS and Bitcoin BIPS, laced with the feverish writings of Henry Miller and Chuck Palahniuk, photographs of Dieter Rams' sleek products and Lee Bontecou's dark, gaping sculptures, the howling music of Trent Reznor, the twisted films of Lars von Trier, and the shadowy fashion of Rick Owens. Can you picture what monstrosities, what ecstasies will erupt from this? I can't, not fully, but it's stupendously exciting, a cataclysm, and the masses have no inkling what barriers to creativity are being shattered, pulverized into dust, setting the human spirit free to roam the cosmos unchecked!

First impression is that @PayPerQ is awesome. Wide and up to date selection of models, anonymous account, API key, and pay by lighting.
