  • I was about to reply with a “oh, really? Whoops, I maybe should I have looked a little deeper” and edited for the post title, but I’m not so sure, looking into the first link you posted.

    RE: phabricator…I don’t know what that service is or is for, so I can’t comment if there’s any proof therein.

    But the “how to submit a patch” page linked has a section that seems to at least suggest that their Github repo is now first-class, per the first line of the section.






  • So, there are a lot of words in the post that I’m not familiar with (LoRA, Oobabooga, CivitAI). However, I think those are details about the actual library or package you’re looking at, so I will not touch any of that.

    I can strict answer the question “what is Yarn?”

    Long story short, it’s a direct “competitor” to NPM (Node Package Manager). In the earlier days of Node and NPM, Yarn was an attempt to improve certain weaknesses perceived in NPM (including speed and security). Yarn is still used in many codebases, but it’s become less popular over the years as NPM has resolved many of the things that Yarn sought to fix. Also, Yarn version 2 made a major design change which some have viewed as too radical (though I’m unclear on the details as I’ve only dabbled in v2).

  • So, I will start by saying “Yes, you can do it. It’s not too late and programming is fun and fulfilling”.

    However! One thing my experience has taught me in seeing people approach and bounce off programming is: programming is a fail-til-you-get-it type of endeavour. Your first several years will be littered with broken code, because there are a thousand little things you have to bump up against before you unlock one more puzzle piece.

    So! If you go for it, persevere! You aren’t a bad programmer, or a slow learner, because you can’t get your code to work. Every single one of us ran into the same issue, and we just had to push through, learn to Google, and try again until it sorta-kinda works. You in 10 years will be embarrassed by what you write in your first years
