Who/What is Mesh Mentor?
What is this site? Simply put, I realized that editing articles was a quick way to upskill (at work) where we need to quickly get up to speed on a variety of niche technologies new and old. After doing a fast run through of our company’s site for SEO and optimization reasons last year, I realized that I’d actually learned a whole lot in a very short period of time. Combining this idea with some parameterized prompts that I’ve been evolving for over a year meant that I could ask questions and have LLM assistance for the initial research. Then, by editing and fact checking that draft I could learn more, and learn faster. Combine that with a blogging and ecommerce background and it was a no-brainer to decide to share these articles with others on a purpose built website.
Mesh Mentor aims to eventually support itself with affiliate links throughout the text of all the articles. The links will only be to products and companies we’ve ordered from or plan to order from soon.
As always, please be sure to reference the official Meshtastic site and documentation for the final word and up to date facts: https://meshtastic.org/ If you want to help support Meshtastic directly, check out their page on Open Collective! We plan to begin contributing as soon as our affiliate earnings start coming in!
tl;dr:
- These articles begin as LLM generated drafts from questions I had about Meshtastic
- An ever-evolving, parameterized automated process creates the drafts from those questions
- A human being (me) edits and fact checks them before they go live
- Editing and fact checking helps me learn more, faster – and hopefully helps you too!
- Comment sections will be opening soon, so you can share what you know, help me find factual errors, and ask questions of your own for future articles!
