 like... var = x?? that doesn't make sense. Or like, 5 = var x? that feels wrong
 
 in programming = is assignment, not equality, which tripped me up for a bit.
 But if you read it left to right it's like X equals 5. Got it, now I know that
 X is the same as 5. Right?

 sometimes I think about how much more productive I'd be if I had a code editor
 that let me draw arrows and smiley faces and such alongside the code. Or if I
 could position things strangely, like two functions side-by-side with boxes
 drawn around them. Or diagrams or flowcharts or graphs or...
 
 something that would output to raw txt format, but would present itself as an
 image that could be edited.

 or don't, do as you want to.
 
 I hope you do want to do what I say to do.
 
 I wouldn't say it if I didn't think it was right.

 you could read in every line in Lua and if it matched the format that the
 times for the subtitles are in, then you could += 5 seconds or whatever and
 save the document. .srt is just a textfile right?

 @user-36 ideally you'd convert to an arbitrary base (in this case 9) and shift
 from there, but shifting two places might work. idk I haven't thought about it.

 LLMs can't do math. Duh. That's like asking an "if check" to do recursion.
 
 What he should have done is had the AI output the requested calculation as
 JSON or something and use a calculator function call with the specified
 arguments instead of trying to memorize every answer. But that requires more
 functionality that has no reason to exist if your only goal is to be a tech
 bro and build up a vacuous product that exists only to be hoovered up by
 Google or Microsoft.
 
 We could build such beautiful things if we just dethroned those giants. They
 suck the creativity out of tech.

 sometimes, comments need to go on the left side of text. Like for parts of the
 script which should be user-editable, the fields should all be right-aligned
 to the farthest required bit of text. Instead of [picture A] it should be
 [picture B]
an example script written in the bash computer language that has all the variables hidden behind comments on the left. makes it very hard to try new variables. the same picture, but the variables are moved to the right.  now it's easier for the user to update them since they don't have to use their mouse.
