It's like learning to fly with only a pilot training manual. Lots of really great detailed information, but what you really need is for someone to explain where to find a plane🤣 Everything I find assumes you know how to put something like this into production and just need help with writing the actual code. But I have code and need to know how to actually use it.
There is a guy in the Brisbane sub who has written code for a daily thread there, I'm hoping he will actually answer my questions and help. Programmers seem more than happy to share code freely, but are very tight lipped with details of how to use it. I think there is some sort of secret handshake or something.
It's not like you could butter him up with a free lunch or something. Maybe you should keep bothering him with questions until you wear him out.
I'm hoping he will be impressed by the stubborn determination it has taken to get this far and be willing to throw me a bone. Nagging is the next option.
