Say what you want about spaghetti code written by either you yourself or other people, dealing with it is a massive requirement for becoming a dev.

I do think sometimes, that many of the members here are missing out on millions of dollars and fame, just because they don't choose to be a YouTuber in the dev space.

Given the skill that you guys got, I can say with 100% confidence that y'all will make it. Some of you that I can think of are:

lorentz
Ranchonyx
Lensflare
atheist
kiki

I mean it, y'all are missing out on life-changing money.

I once saw an accountant (might be > 60 years old), open up his Windows laptop. And on the home screen he right clicked and hit "Refresh" like 30 times, manually.

I don't know why but I think about that every once in a while.

Violence is never the answer.

It's a question.

The answer is Yes.

I am against the idea of outsourcing dev jobs.
Every software company should hire in-house devs, that live in the same country/region the company is in.

You would think that some YouTuber with more than 450K subs would speak sense. But no, they instead confessed that content creation is all about clickbaiting the shit out of students.

Also, 3 lakh rupees INR is like roughly $3500 USD

I've gotten rent-free places in so many member's heads of this platform.

They want me to leave or feel bad about myself. But I just can't. How can I give in after so many months of work.

I just love it.

I'm staying here forever my dudes.

Ahh yes devRant, where most of my enemies live. Featuring the list:

fullstackcircus
shovethisrant
Nanos (should I say ex-Nanos?)
kanyewest
JestDotty
awesomeest
netikras (apparently?)
jAsE

And the last is retoor? which is funny cuz I don't even know who she is.

Thanks for the hate guys, it keeps me going.

I'm happy today realizing that 5 people decided to pay me for just saying my opinions on YouTube livestreams.

I never could've imagined I'd be in a position where I'd be getting loyal fans for me just to talk to them and hear them out / answer their questions.

Makes my cold heart warm up a bit ngl.

We're living in a time where retoor and Buffon are fighting each other with bots.

Truly one of the moments of all time.

I know self-promotion is not allowed here but I made a fun video I'm sure most of you would enjoy

Watch it here -> https://youtube.com/watch/...

I genuinely don't understand the M.O. here.

Getting rid of ads/spam here => Better Experience for us.

Flooding bots to gain updoots and spam posts => ????

Like, there's no money to be made. There's no influence of this platform anywhere. Getting a million ++'s don't result in anything in the real life.

I guess Alfred was right. "Some people just want to watch the world burn."

The spam filter bot lost it's downvote privileges, already.

Well, it was fun while it lasted. Sigh.

It's nice to see people waking up and realizing the fallacies of AI.

Given that I've been against AI since day 1, it's giving me a little superiority complex ngl.

If Indian scammers only had a tiny bit of patience with customers (victims), and practiced English accents, they'd become millionaires so easily.

Today, I have added a new achievement to my list.

@retoor please tell your AI bot, that we don't need it to make 20 comments on every post.

What the bot is doing is pretty great and cool, just let it be for that one task. It's role as a spam remover is fine, but giving it a 'human' like persona, where it starts acting like a real person chatting with ranters is downright creepy.

I'm not even joking.

Some people deserve a high five.

On the face.

With a chair.

You using the ChatGPT bot on devRant makes me feel like you have some sort of schizophrenia.

When I search for problems with npm libraries and StackOverflow's answer is

"just downgrade the package to {VERSION} and it should work"

It makes me wanna die. How in the clusterfuck is that an acceptable solution?

I can't believe we've gotten to a stage of capitalism that saying "Employees need work-life balance" is controversial.

I talk to myself a little too often. It makes sense, given that overthinking is what keeps me employed.

I am good with that.

However, I've been finding myself in these 'thinking sessions' where I'm full on mouthing words and sometimes words come out and moving my hands around as if I am talking to someone in person.

It worries me, what if I enter one of these moments and never be able to snap back into reality.

I'm going crazy, aren't I

so, in latest news (source: trust me bro)

Intel cut off 15K employees from their workforce. But but but, they re-introduced free tea.

Win-Win, right?

I'm not flexing but I still have the ability to downvote posts/comments.

If you ever feel useless and irrelevant, just remember that people like @JestDotty exist.

why I say FUCK AI -

-> So much stupidity with "It will replace devs". Any dev who has more than 2 brain cells has had their issues with ChatGPT or AI knows that AI is not sufficient nor good enough to get even basic tasks done.

-> "It will be good in 5 years" - well then, talk to me after 5 years. I'm not buying a product or an idea on a "promise". I judge the tech for what it is today, not on what it can be in 5 years.

-> "Just trust me bro" - I see influencers suck that robot dick, but no explanations are given. What they say sounds to me like it's parroted off of general mass media. Nothing new to add nor any insight.

-> AI has issues that nobody seems to talk about. Hallucinations being the biggest of them all. ChatGPT tells you something, and you're supposed to take it as fact? That's too dangerous for a normal person.

-> Junior software developers are scared even to this day that AI can replace them. If they can't think for themselves, it falls upon us (or at least, me) to drive them in the correct direction or give them real opinions on what it is.

If WhatsApp were to push an update that sends every keystroke information to the other end, and whatever you delete also gets sent and the other end can see it.

the chaos would be so much fun.

It's been a while since I've said it -

FUCK AI
FUCK ChatGPT o1 whatever the fuck model is it
FUCK Sam Altman

and most of all FUCK all of those extreme leftists. Don't ask me why. Just fuck them.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk

Congrats @retoor on hitting 10K !!

I keep coming back to read this comment. Out of all the interactions I've had with y'all here, this one has hit me the hardest.
