LLMs and AI in general and other computing topics.  I have much to learn
from you all. And to learn from my daughter Rebecca who is a software
engineer at Spotify. And from my son Joseph who lives in Taipei and has a
math degree from Carnegie Mellon and worked for Google. And my other son
Edward who works for Arch. But has no degrees. But boy can he program.
But now I work at the market for some money and health insurance for me and
my husband.
And I am taking a music fundamentals class through Foothill College.
Because I am a half decent singer. I have sung in choruses for many years.
I love to sing.
I also substitute teach. I am fully credentialed in special education. But
being a special education teacher is exhausting. But financially I may
someday have to do so again. Or maybe not if husband Robert lives a while
and I update my computing skills. And someone is willing to employ me when
I am 67 years old or older.
We will see. Life is complicated.
I was a computer programmer analyst on legacy systems for over 16 years.
Bye for now.
