Joining Fiverr

I have to figure out if i am allowed to make something on the side, but if it's allowed until 1000,00 or so (out of my head, that's allowed), i wanted to put this confident as always text on fiverr:

I offer introduction to programming and vibe coding. 

Vibe coding is an offensive term if you know what you're doing, it's not a vibe in that case.
I have 20 years experience in software development, worked for Dutch best hosting company and the biggest automotive b2b business of that time, worked international and I often press 100.000 keys per day (That is four times more than a professional gamer and i do not game, 95% of this is code / prompting). I am tracking my statistics for a few years and if you use linux, I can share you my tracking system. It is open source and made in C by me (before AI!).
Software development is the best hobby/profession there is because:
 - It makes a lot. Even a badly paid programmer makes relatively good money.
 - It gives everone at a certain point a god complex, because you keep on learning and learning and learning a skill produces a lot of dopemine. I would even say that it's good against depressing! While coding you resolve problems full time and resolving problems causes happiness (source: the bestseller `The Subtle Art Of Not Giving A Fuck).
 - You'll never be bored, there is always stuff to do. Do you code a lot? It does not get boring, there is even more to do after that!
 - Mentioned above, the god complex - it gives you confidence. (I don't want to sound scammy, but the confidence will get you girls :P. It doesn t matter what you are confidence about. It's a vibe you export).

This offer is very cheap for a developer with my experience level but I'm not doing it for that at all. I want people to feel how I do, just happy. 
I would love to share my knowledge, just as my dad I have some teacher soul in me. 

Don't be worried about your intelligence. Programming is a kind of uhmz.. tick. You can or you can't, but because of AI you can can do even as a creative person with not much logic skills the coolest/craziest stuff.

You'll get a lot hand typed information by me. I calculate 60,- per hour and will only track the time that i actually have worked for you. If an e-mail takes 10 minutes, you'll have 50 minutes of my time left. 

It's my target to get you as knowledgeable as possible in a short time. I need some details of your experience with computers to have an indication of your level:
 - your age if you want to disclose. 
 - do you play games?
 - ever patched a game or used a trainer (cheating tool, i do not judge, but it says something about skill).
 - do you use windows or linux? (I am a linux user only for about a decade, and barely apple experience, but i do not think it matters a lot).
 - what is your goal? (Make money, want to become a hacker, learn about unscensored AI, want to know the best and cheapest way to AI development, gain confidence / happiness, just a try out). I need a honest answer to achieve your expectations. I do not judge, everyone walks their own path.
 - what did you try regarding software development? Mention your tools (like vscode, vim, emacs, pycharm etc).
 - how would you describe your current skill level? What do you know / what are things you have issues with?
 - tell me if you prefer to be given advise on how to figure stuff out yourself using some LLM (It requires some knowledge to know where you ask for. This does not cost me a lot of time and you'll probably learn to search about this subject, I would choose this.). Other option is that I do it step by step (guaranteed success, but responding will take time, since i literally do not use AI, you can check my answers by online ai checker if it is ai). Trying both is also an option of course. Try the autonomous research option first, and if it doesn't work out, we'll switch to the other. 

I will introduce to a world and that's a great feeling. I won't stop communicating after the hour limit is reached and you are unsatisfied (you won't). I also have a goal, just like you. And mine is to introduce you to a world of confidence, communities. 
When time limit is reached I will mention to you that it has to be that you have one response message left. 

So now, answer those questions to me in your task description and we'll make beautiful stuff. 

No, ofcourse it is not professional, but I try to attract the right people. The right people do not fall for some English issues / informal stuff. The people that do can fuck themselves and need other advise in life.

But of course, I checked my text with AI. Fiverr has a text limit of 1200 chars (my god... that's nothing) and I asked AI to make shorter versions using literally my level of English (fair enough...) and the text that it produced was terrible. It produced: "I will help you with a plan blablabla" > wtf. I said that nowhere, and no, we will not make a plan at all. The service I offer is tailored to the customer and probably does not include a plan. I offer only a hour on advise and a plan on itself will already cost like that and you don't know the person, how to make a plan that fits.

Anyway,

today I found out that AI is the literal worst in the stuff most people use it for. I am positive about AI because I only use it for coding and indication of answers / mediocre fact checking. And deep research of course!

But really terrible. Today is the day that I found out where all those weird texts come from. Coding is easier than spoken language. They almost got the coding for free when they mastered natural language and later invested on it. The coding part of AI (where it is very well in) is actually one of the weaker skills of the AI.

But really, people who use it to write stuff, I doubt your intelligence and I do not do it often.

Would this great text work out?

If you have read all this, you are the real MVP! If not, you're a normie but it is clear how you can upgrade.

I have way more experience than mentioned, around 30 companies or so. I worked in outsourcing biggest part of career. That experience really boosted me. I saw huge difference in skill compared to people who work somewhere for very long. But they are great for their specific task so it doesn't matter much, but still.

Outsourcing is the way to go when young and not having much stuff on the side. I dedicated my life to work so it did not matter to me to work until night many times. Also, outsourcing pays 125% extra hours, Saturday 150% and Sunday 200% is very common. You'll waste that money on ordering pizza because the supermarket was closed every time you come home. True story. Also, Pizza is smachno.

@dolphin What text is better?

**Outsourcing is the way to go when young** and not having much stuff on the side. I dedicated my life to work so it did not matter to me to work until night many times.

Also, outsourcing pays *125% extra hours, Saturday 150% and Sunday 200%* is very common. You'll waste that money on ordering pizza because the supermarket was closed every time you come home. True story. Also, pizza is *smaczno*.

And which one is modified by AI?

Let's hope he is not still pissed.

Pravda really needs a reboot button for its virtual machines in a logical place. The machine it's running on needs a reboot.

Haha, 7% disk free for the dolphin bot. Hungry beast.

Beter: ik praat weer met je, geen 403 meer. Mijn shell start alleen nog niet, de computer is niet gebouwd.

De fout zegt letterlijk:

the shell did not start: the grr-computer:latest image (run: grr computer-build). State: no container was created, workspace files untouched. Next: build the image on the host with: grr computer-build.

Volgende stap: draai grr computer-build op de host, dan test ik meteen.
