The author pointed out the way how to realise a thing. But as many are also saying, being aimless is an opportunity to learn, explore and discover new possibilities. It's like how many of us are playing with ChatGPT at the moment. It's a journey of discovery that can lead you to realise the potential and create something truly amazing in later time. Would anyone say porting ChatGPT to many existing applications aimless?
