+## Common reasons to try to train your own LLM
+
+- Gründe, wieso Leute das wollen - oder eher meinen zu wollen
+  - "Wir vertrauen X nicht"
+  - "Aber unsere Daten sind gaaanz besonders"
+  - "Ich habe das gehört und es klingt gut."
+- Nachteile
+  - Trainingsdaten?
+  - Trainingskosten?
+  - Rechenkapazität?
+
+## Is finetuning at least feasible?
+
+- tl;dr: only under specific circumstances
+  - Netz muss Open-Source oder anders zugänglich sein => Häufig "geistiges
+    Eigentum" oder "secret sauce"
+  - Menge an annotierten Daten? Nur weil das Netz Open Source ist, heißt das
+    nicht, dass die Trainingsdaten es auch sind.
+
+## Ok, that sounds like shit. What should i do then?
+
+- Just™ use good prompting - this goes a very long way

+
+Since around 2006 i basically write only using the
+[NEO2](https://neo-layout.org)-Layout. There are many advantages that are not
+obvious to an onlooker right away.
+
+Don't get me wrong. I still can type `QWERTZ` - just because you learn an
+additional layout does not mean that you forget everything from before.
+
+The secret sauce lies in the deeper layers. Especially layer 3 having all the
+"hard to reach" things like brackets, braces, etc. right on the home row. And
+the 4th layer is _magic_ for text-navigation. Left hand has the full navigation,
+right hand has the complete Numpad - even on laptop-keyboards that are lacking
+those.
+
+For me as a person having the usual German Keyboard with AltGr this just means:
+
+- Putting the thumb down on AltGr - it is above there anyway.
+- Use left hand as normal arrow-keys (that work EVERYWHERE because they are just
+  arrow keys)
+- Also use Home/End/PgUp/PgDown/…
+
+Before i always had to switch over or hope that a thing had support for vi-style
+"hjkl".
+
+That's why i also prefer [Neovim](./Editors.md) as my primary editor - just not
+having to touch your mouse at any time for anything is such a godsend :)
+
+Best thing: If you don't want to switch, there is also a "Neo-QWERTZ"-variant ..
+where you can just try the deeper layers while not leaving your QWERTZ-layout
+behind. But i have just seen and never tried it. Your experience may be sub-par.
