forgot to mention he worked *_writing code_*

lol

@@EvaGillard-yp4op Says the genius in the comments...

​@@EvaGillard-yp4opRead this, and tell me if I'm wrong: 1. Reading is a high level skill - many if not most people cannot read articles by themselves properly, or will not. So he is educating people. Including me who can type meaningful arguments like this, but is often tired of finding and reading these articles on my own. 2. Doing anything on a consistent basis requires more effort than doing it just once or twice. He's been doing it for long. People know what quality they get here. People trust he's around, and they know which information to find on his channel. This is in fact a greater service than "just reading". 3. He has a relevant level of knowledge on many topics, and in several videos he provides his own content. Further he interviews people with even more special knowledge from time to time, which is a great service. So I think you're wrong that he "just reads", and "moronic" doesn't fit his efforts. I would like to tell you, that you saying it's moronic, probably doesn't lead to anything positive, long or near term. Further your statement has just little information. It is not the same, but very close to just a "toxic opinion". Generally toxic opinions are the worst. They ruin everyone's day. I think you can do better than that. Perhaps in a future comment you can provide more information, and be less insulting with your speech? For example: "On many videos he does a lot of reading and I don't think that's making great videos. Can you add more thought to your videos?." This example has more information. (specific information about yourself, and what you want to see also counts, because if Prime reads hit he still learns more about what his viewers want). I hope this helps you.

Fork or be forked.

Ah, yes, that famous quote. “Everything in the world is about forking, except forking. Forking is about power.” - Oscar Wilde, probably.

99.8% of people are not forking and maintaining a project. They are busy trying to run their company.

@@keyboard_g 96.2% of working people are employees so aren't busy running their company.

​@@keyboard_g Yeah but if your upstream goes wild, plenty of other people people will be in a similar situation to you. Usually at least some of them band together to maintain the fork.

what do they even do nowadays

So many people in web development not ready to have that conversation

So what? You work with what you know or what is available to you to be able to provide food for your family. I personally dislike Java and its stack, mostly due to the Corporate/Enterprise spin on it. But for each their own. If tomorrow the dust settles and the world decides there would be no other way to write WEB so be it :) Till then I will use whatever else I like and know and avoid it :D PS: All tech is fine if it works for you and your use-case.

@@simm0l Good take

@@simm0l I'm not saying you have to use those technologies. The comment was directed at people who do say you HAVE to use React and the latest footguns in order to be a good dev. These people are lunatics

Just because it's popular and used in many places, doesn't mean it's good. I know this is impossible to sometimes wrap your head around, but start from the word "hype" to figure it out.

They are somewhat easy to spot. If the landing page looks like made for investors rather than users, meaning it looks very shiny but you still don't know what they are selling; it is usually going to be one of the rugpulled products.

@@themisir It's amazing how many github projects I stumble upon and I'm like "oh my god, this is going to change everything for me...omg its even MIT license..." and then I see it's only been favorited by 25 people. Blows my mind.

Curious, what do you do at McD?

@@DjDuckk I just work in the kitchen. Nothing exciting

Amen. Learning some different tech stack is not like learning CS, programming from scratch. You would be surprised how quiclky people learn when they actually have to use the stuff at work.

that was mean, and the truth also

old school linux virgins yeaahh

@@rea1m_ Except the part where they were middle-aged and married with kids.

I mean, I wanted to respond with a lot of questions that would prove you and them wrong, but I decided to laugh at your mindsets, LOL

@@MrSnivvel just kidding bruv. At this rate most programmers ain’t real programmers, if you have to be an embedded linux nerd to be classified as one

In my previous project, we had a little talk at the very beginning about tech stack. React: because it is backed by Facebook, is the most popular, and it is very easy to find people to write it. End of story. Meanwhile, years ago I told one potential client: "I can't work for you, I don't know React". He said: "You will learn". I stayed there for three years.

And that's not enough, cause it's not the same in modern JS as it is in anything else. My question in his shoes would be how easy would it be to rip it off and replace it with something else?

​@@simm0l Funny, I touched on this topic some time ago and the senior dev in the company said: "You can think about such stuff when it comes to a year, maybe two years long projects. Anything more than that is just guessing". And he was kinda right. I mean, picking a framework already locks you in.

No Netflix mentioned :(

Really? What the hell is the point of swift if they dont use it for their own GUIs

Poor training. All the training I saw were teaching in jQuery and/or React. I didn't know JS had classes, polymorphism, constructors, and custom elements until 2 months ago. And this is coming from a guy who learned C++ as a first language.

9 years for 4 website is kinda you should had more

IRC. Though people moved away from it because things like slack and discord are easier and more feature packed out of the box, so to speak. I mean IRC is just a protocol and you can do a lot with the right clients, bots, etc, probably more than the alternatives, but the more you need, the more complicated things get. The bog standard setup lacks a few things many consider vital like a robust message history.

Yea I saw noita was written with Lua and I wanted to build a similar project so I just used C++/WASM. Idk what any of this has to do with anything, just waiting for someone to call me an r* so I can change my mind again and never finish. Main thing is the problems aren't that hard to solve and they've been done solved. It's ECS -> particle physics for effects -> particle physics/pools. Most game devs use an engine and can't get past ECS. AGAIN idk what this has to do with anything other than lots of big companies hiring people not based on talent. So, try that out.

@@gezenews go finish your project! :D can't get derailed if it's already done 🤔

@@blarghblargh lol and then the the other game OCR. All my ideas are getting cut down by joblessness and becoming more practical. All the things still are on the way but now the mortgage VUE SSR calculator gets priority :(

Also when react is eventually superseded there will be a lot of legacy integrations/support available.

Yes indeed. Full-time now.

Cause, first is not their job :) Most companies don't give you time or money to future-proof stuff. Second, most projects get rewritten or abandoned in 2-3 years. I am not even sure it's worth it to invest the time and effort for everything to be future-proof and scalable. Keep your core business logic outside of the volatile tech and it would be fine. Web apps are supposed to be build fast and forgotten even faster :)

'going against the groin' ... ouch ... I suppose that's like getting kicked in the balls.

You should be banned from the world.

Now that's meta.

technically yes you can also technically fork the Linux kernel, or whatever browser engine you want but the problem is, these projects are so huge that people will find security problems and similar all the time in them and by the time you are familiar enough to patch these fast enough, your fork will likely be considered a "too insecure, don't use"-project by a lot of people

@@kuhluhOG that's mostly because it's my hypothetical fork, but have a look at what's coming out of the Redis debacle - I don't see the official fork backed by the Linux Foundation to be sucky long term
