Seriously, why would you start from zero? I tried that once for a customer service bot. Spent weeks and a ton of money on compute just to get it to where a good base model already was. Starting with a strong pre-trained model and then tweaking it is the only way that makes sense.

Wait, they're putting in actual libraries again? That feels so fancy and old school.

My well water killed my starter too!

Used to think blocks were obvious but @the_wesley is right, this silent erasure is way worse.

My buddy had a toaster that only worked if you held the lever down for exactly seven seconds first. He called it "character" but honestly it was just broken. Sometimes a machine is just a tool, not a family member. You can get attached to the routine without pretending the thing itself is special.
