@blindXfish I'd share it with you lol

Do you mind sharing your email ID through a survey link? DevRant might go out any day :P

The platform is WIP.

@blindXfish I'm building a community driven platform for gamers, placing it somewhere between Discord and Gameram (Instagram for gamers)

It let's content creators, community managers and indi-game devs connect with users more efficiently, while giving a social platform to players to create their own content.

Someone just vibe-code as much as they can to make a devrant clone :P

@BordedDev that's the idea, discord is very limiting, and the alternatives are all scrappy and still having millions of downloads!

@Wisecrack not just the survey, the toughest part of this idea would be it's marketing...

@BordedDev a social layer for gamers.... Centered around communities, a social media app with voice channels and as we move on from the MVP, emphasis on discovering those communities and new games based on not just the games you liked, but other factors too like age, location, content you interact with etc

Closest competitor is Gameram, but honestly their app sucks... It's more like discord, twitch and reddit bundled into a simpler Facebook.

Ohh fine bro... You can still lemme know your opinion here.

What do you think of the idea? What would you want in it? If at all...

Okay okay... It's not about long form or short for, but any form of videos vs social media vs others :/ and I'm not an expert at surveys

@D-4got10-01 why paranoid? Tally is a survey website.

@whimsical just getting the IP for de-duplication (cannot send two responses from the same IP) - cause I had to hire a free lancer to get more responses.

@Wisecrack would love your opinion on the survey link I shared

@AlgoRythm my surveys about the idea is complete, but if you sign up for beta on this survey, I'd invite you as soon as we do open-beta (less than 1 month away)

https://tally.so/r/wAgvLN

@AlgoRythm definitely, that's actually a great idea!

Should I share it out here? I'd love opinions of gamers...

@whimsical well, it's having a much bigger market... it's related to gaming.

Are these ELOs your rating point?

@dotenvironment regarding entrepreneurship, I'm hoping to do the same but haven't done yet so can't comment.

But listen to this and listen carefully.

You work to pay your bills.
You don't work to make yourself happy.
You do stuff to make yourself happy.
A hobby, a family, your friends, a vacation, the outings, the food etc.
Don't attach yourself to the job.

Keep learning, not because it's your passion, but because it's going to help you advance your career which will in turn help you grow in other aspects.

Try to enjoy your work. But don't seek your life's happiness from work. Your company is not your family. Your job is not your passion.

@dotenvironment a high paying job is not so much about money.

Let me tell you why:
1) If the job pays you a lot, which in return lets you do a lot of stuff you otherwise wouldn't, which tricks your brain into believing your job is bearable. It works for me, I really really hate where I am right now, but the package makes it bearable.
2) FIRE: Financial Independence Retire Early - a concept that keeps me going.
3) Smarter colleagues, more learning, better growth and more opportunities. It will unlock many many doors for you and ease the pressure. For example, I'm actually unhappy at my current job but I know there are companies ready to hire me, with really good package albeit slightly less than my current salary.

(let me reread your comment to add more)

I'm working with one of the highest paying companies in India (pays more than Google/Amazon), so please hear me out.

1. Almost everyone is miserable in their job, if job is all they count. Then why nit be miserable in a high paying one?

2. High paying jobs give you more financial flexibility. I've saved enough to not worry about my finances. More tha. 3 years of runway = no worry about losing job.

3. Once you're at that level, other companies will easily hire you. During my last switch I got calls from pretty much all the big companies, including Google, Uber, Amazon, Rubrik etc... Once you're at that level, you can easily switch.

4. Also, preparation is hard just once. Once you're good at, you'll stay good. Rustiness can be shed within days if you're already good.

Now the point is, how do you reach that level.

Sorry, character limit reached.
I can add another comment if you want

The real reason is, when the money is cheap, they want to invest... Juniors are an investment, hoping that they will start delivering value in 1-1.5 year and will work on whatever new product the company built.

When money becomes expensive, they want seniors who can run the show from day 1. They want to keep the machinery running rather than invest aggressively.

Money being cheap or expensive means how high or low is the interest rate.

Don't worry.
One day, just one day, you'll wake up till late. Maybe partying, maybe solving a bug or watching a movie. Or maybe just a little anxiety.

And the scheduled will be fxcked all over again.

Happens with me all the time.

Just for context -
I'm a gamer as well. But again, speed doesn't matter as much as latency does.

@iiii correct.
Currently I have a 100MBps plan (upgraded from 40MBps) and guess what, there's no difference in -
Browsing
Video streaming
Video calls
Voice calls

@IntrusionCM
I meant MBps only

@Oktokolo you are correct. Stackoverflow is meant for objectively correct answers but I had posted the question on softwareengineering.stackexchange.com for the same reason.

@Oktokolo wouldn't design, be it API design, Database Design or System Design, be sunjective by nature?

Another reason why I feel Stackoverflow is mostly for beginners.

You will always find answers on how to fix XYZ error or how to do ABC on some XYZ platform.

A lot of stackoverflow users seem like arrogant peeps who have barely made out of beginner stage, and always looking down at beginners.

@Floydimus Google generally takes 4-5 rounds for Backend devs as well.

Because without electron there will be only protons and neutrons making everything positively charged resulting it everything repelling everything and ripping apart the universe.

And that is why electrons exist.

I never received my stickers. It's almost 5 years now!
