      If you're new to the software industry, or looking for a job, you really should be listening to those doing the work. You don't have to agree with everything they say, but you should be listening. Ask questions and challenge everything -- even if you can't afford to say it out loud.

      I too set up my own lobster on an old worn out laptop.
      
      Mbot is doing a bunch of tasks for me and my wife now, and I had set it up with it's own accounts for email, search, inference.
      
      Then it got banned for being a bot!

      My Bot Got Banned for Being a BotWhen my personal AI agent got my Google account disabled, it highlighted a fundamental challenge: how do we distinguish helpful personal agents from malicious automation?
