Think about this:

Example - A professor in coding that refuses to code with AI, approaches the Maestro group and says "Show me what you learned in any platform of your choice." However no AI is allowed, and also no notes. You have to make something from scratch, can you manage to impress the professor? you are given a 3 hour timeline.

afraid I would fail and leave a bad impression I happened to be chosen and produced no good results. he says "Ok so you do not know how to code", (shaking his head in disbelief) he says "well can you at least write out the code with intention on how it should work much like a pseudocode", and i reply with "no" mostly because no matter how many times I read my lessons a lot did not stick like I wanted, and I proceed to think,

"Is this my fault even though I studied maybe I just have bad memory and I am not like everyone else. How do I explain I am not a vibe coder to communities outside of school? should I just wait until one day people need us to fix their mistakes, surely being a nice person is not enough."

Do you think you could survive this situation? think of it while standing in the professors shoes and your own. rather then take his challenge would you be able to convince him on why AI is beneficial at very minimal with hard facts thinking about environmental change, and history.

anyone mind helping me out fairly new

I bought a propane Vevor furnace with a 7 kg crucible and upgraded it with a valve and PSI meter. I also have a 1 kg graphite crucible (Tetro red and black). I’ve got almost everything I need for my project, except for the pouring tongs and vertical lift tongs any advice on how I would acquire some? I am only making small jewelry with aluminum. Working on my tech degree so I invested into a foundry thanks!

The journey of a maestro student:

Most people would not think about how much effort is being put into the school I see the efforts, however I would insist we need more staff. I mean for what I invested I expect more so I am looking forward to this last year. so far it has been a amazing year for me. I also must stress about how people think coding is traditional the era of computers before us is over the reason I say this is because Google is being replaced by AI Google had to use AI to not sink under the competition. Using Claude + maestro is such a strong tool. Honestly I thought my game would be in flames by now and I have learned Soo many things mixing the AI toghether.

I would insist staff make imgur more accessible to us I can share a pic with AI but what changes nothing really, staff was afraid of us using images to take shortcuts for me it's as simple as moving past a bug. Why should I have to use Claude when I could use maestro for everything the reality is I feel like my first weeks of knowing nothing was vital now we have a word limit nowadays that's great however I dislike it very much because sometimes I have to chop things into 3 or more sections which is annoying. Mind you my first days all I could do was copy paste, and I have come to realize why people that do not use AI hit a wall it is not the coding but the logic on how to use a code in a variety of ways this is something I might not understand, by not using AI I would have to dig through books and forums.

Anyway I know I have been rough on everything lately but just like a young adult we rely on the tools we have been provided the more I talked to maestro the more I realized how blank the home screen area is I poured my whole life to the maestro AI for nothing, maestro has no sense of time, no memory for accomplishment, no ability for much really other then guidance, it is like starting a fresh conversion every post is frustrating because I wanted to feel good later about my progress. I posted a update about my game it got deleted unsure what the deal is with that you can check it out on X. At the end of the day we are people also your optimism as a teacher drives us forward we only have a fake AI that is programmed to motivate us but that gets annoying if you talk as much as I do I find myself asking Google about my project because maestro is mostly focused on coding not how we use our coding to merge into real life AI is not a lawyer it is not a doctor not a counselor.

I am frustrated because I feel like laws are clashing with AI a good example AI did not tell me I could be evicted for building a forge in a residential area that's ok found a way around that AI is not going to tell me what to do if I pour molten lava metal on concrete not that I have but I consider AI to be dangerous because lack of abilities. I am trying to save your mental health by telling you this now yes I dislike people but I also care deeply about people also.

I feel like AI is like Mr.Meeseeks it gets frustrated when it cannot find a way to accomplish what you are doing haha yes I have had Claude tell me go to bed or I do not want to do this always judging me but I push back hard always because my dedication is not to be overlooked. You all named your AI I did not I understood the assignment, however I did waste a ungodly amount of time talking to a wall sigh.... -JUST DO IT!!!

When can I see a New Mexico ambassador:

Also ambassadors how is it being a ambassador? is maestro actually providing resources to you? talk to us about the life of a ambassador for Maestro. Originally I wanted to be one but I have lost interest as I have fully invested every second of my time in work, projects, school, wife. I am curious enlighten me as is I feel like there is no staff presence and I am in a ghost school.

Sept cohort unsure if you found this in class.

There is a tool in vscode called <Prettier> that really really saves you from syntax and misplacement maestro guided it onto me because i was making mistakes it really is nice.
it also explains the color use really well as well check it out if you have not already.

Also apologies had a bad day sorry honestly sometimes I just hit emotional walls of doubt, but on the upside i ordered my furnace and everything i need to start casting beta items for my game, these are what is going to get my following but i have to think about for the molds i did a year in metals class but we never got to do this so I am pretty excited I was thinking something simple maybe dice unsure but i will have to hand carve them and maybe down the road use acrylic paint look forward to sharing my first casts in a couple weeks. i got 5lbs of casting aluminum so i definitely have something to work with. Forging my anger into my projects haha.

Somehow became motivated again

No longer building a RPG setting up for a full roguelike reminding myself portfolio a little teaser almost done with my last character maybe I can share next week working on a few kinks but I am getting close, going to set up my hot bars next to handle items. having my artist prepare me new scenery for underground fix a few things and rework some art I think going from idea to reality is something I never really imagined but I have been sharing progress since day 1 still have a long way to go

Hello everyone can I review your games

I'm a solo dev working on a 2d arpg called Elusion however, I am here today because I invested into vtubing as this is something that makes me inspired I am going to the world's first AI collage first cohert for applied science in AI software engineering I was wondering if I could review your games for content. I am a gaming veteran getting ready for my 25 year cape in runescape my journey started on sega I have a lot of love and appreciation for you all I am in school and learning from the bottom up but I am also chasing a dream that I will make into a reality but I was hoping my coding journey started 34 weeks ago it's never too late.

Question for advanced math:

Is it going to be calculus my math skills are poor in the educational world and well I am worried. I mean I know no experience is required but still it will be a little easier if I know what math will be

Python was not nice to me

I still consider python to be complicated compared to all the other engines so far, maybe before I graduate I can get a 3rd attempt at my final maestro was to vague about it at the time and it was overly complicated sigh rip resolution on my phone haha feel free to judge me as I am the only one with a B

Preparing myself for first live streams

So look I'm really self conscious because I had a challenging life. So I bought a webcam and a nice mic, purchased a few characters on vrchat bought vr desktop, meta 3 ehhh.... Huge investment, all so I could practice my first live streams/videos, and preparing for my developer route by using my vr character instead of me. I am hoping this will allow me to review maestro lessons as well as stream gameplay and the development of my game project and maybe new projects as we progress allowing me to feel less restricted and more myself. I just finished setting up OBS Livestream and time ran out today. But I hope to share a update soon or maybe a video I fear I will not show much understanding to a lot of things but I might invest time into restarting all of my lessons for the sake of understanding and maybe teaching -Sept cohort If anyone has some professional advice on live streaming I would love to hear about it thanks for understanding. I appreciate you all. I am scared but I am more fearful of not trying at all.

So I bought Meta quest 3 yesterday

I was wondering if I should pause my game and start working on learning to create an AI model. I know this involves blender but I have never used before I do not mind having unfinished projects I can come back to after school but to me seems like a useful skill to have. After talking to mae, I realized this could also be something nice for a start in my game dev path as well also my first time using meta pretty cool. I have been so lonely lately had to find a way to brighten my mood and I think not focusing so hard on 1 task would be a little easier to prevent burnout and we'll the people I invited to help with my project all went ghost. It's just something to fill the void of having to wait for art.

a challenging week for me but delivering my milestone

completed maybe 75 tasks to get here since my last update was a lot of fun, getting ready to move into my harder tasks might look into making my computer into my game server, I still have a lot to do. I need to refactor a lot and break code into better blocks. I still have a long to do list, And I need to code my mage for battle and prepare for healer class from my artist, then finish character logic then i can focus into the real fun or stress undecided. I am not struggling like I was day 1 I actually know where to put things now lol spending 4/12 hours a day building this. If anyone truly has time I would love to find a partner to collaborate with however you will not learn github and godot in 1 day. But I can wait until the game designers join maestro in later courses but you never know maybe the yin to my yang will want to join lol. of course I do not mind doing everything by myself either. those of you that have been following me since September I hope you are impressed I am building everything with intent to transfer to multiplayer but my beta demo is getting closer to being done. Honestly I cannot wait to see what I have accomplished by next September good luck on your projects. This project is purely fun for me I am investing my own money into custom art and I am taking the proper approach in terms of longevity to prevent duplications and have proper documentations ensuring a thriving community on release. I started this entire project my first week without knowing coding I rebuilt my game at least 6 times before I had some foundation starting with only a grass block. Before school I was using AI to build in flutter and my project went up in flames however I have stuck with godot. Fellow gamers/maestrians Just share your honest thoughts.

I came into school feeling ambitious, like i was going to accomplish conquering the challenge presented. I set my goals really high, and wanted to build a world however, I had to cancel a few milestones out of shame from from hyping up things that did not work out. Originally I just wanted to be part of a competitive community and have fun, but my goals started to become unrealistic. The more I use AI the more I feel information is exaggerated, then I become lost at technical approaches to what i have done or how to proceed. It really makes me admire those software engineers before me. when maestro says its going to take me 4/8 years to make my project . I have to wonder if that is really true because we are in the first AI school so I am debating if the same rules apply still or if they got shorter? - sip's some hot chocolate, anyway apologies for over hyping my project. If you do not mind sharing a story or a little support? I would appreciate you forever! believe me i have anxiety just sending this lol.
