    In case anyone’s OOTL here, all the “real computer science” examples are actually game-dev-related

        especially with a framework like vue/react. had a fun time with it.

        the only real difference between it and normal web development is communicating between the rendered and main process.

      My favorite rants of his are “Making a Twitter clone would be easy and the people developing it are bad at what they do”

      Like, he’s not wrong but the sheer unbridled arrogance that’s helped make him successful in his field is hilarious when put into contexts he knows less about

          Same energy:

          I saw Jonathan Blow at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”

          I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.

          The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.

          When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

          I think he has a point about inefficient dev practices and an excessive amount of labor going to advertising, but yeah I don’t think he’s exactly a devops guy for distributed systems lmao

              I’ve really enjoyed writing stuff in Elixir because a lot of the time you can do that whole “boot a tiny MVP out the door” thing and ignore scaling, but refactoring to a different more scalable architecture pattern is relatively simple or can be done nearly for free because of the Erlang VM. You don’t get stuck in the situation of having to rewrite in an entirely different framework because the one you chose to get up and running quickly doesn’t scale well.

          STOP SCALING UP

          Software are not supposed to scale

          YEARS of scaling yet NO real world use found for scaling more than YOUR FAMILY

          Wanted to scale more anyway for a laugh? We had a tool for that: It was called "EVERYONE HAVING THEIR OWN SERVERS"

          Yes, please give me 5 Kubernetes Docker Container Pods.
          Please replicate my database cluster.

          Statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged

          docker swarm init --advertise-addr 192.168.99.100
docker swarm join --token blablablablablab 192.168.99.100:2377
docker service create --replicas 1 --name helloworld alpine whoami

          Hello I would like to create 10 new VMs with the exact same configuration only for 10 minutes please

          They have played us for absolute fools!
