Off-Topic@Heyuri

I liked computars a lot as a kid, kind of studied how they work etc. I had the privilege of growing up in front of one
as I grew up I started to haet maths, and became disillusioned with it all. If I manage completing my degree, I will still work in something technology related but I don't really know. It probably won't be embedded though, competition seems hard there

I liek using technology to do stuff, and I certainly have a lot of it, but I don't have much fascination with the technology itself - it's always a means to an end for me

Many. I'm working (slowly) on a programming language (finally nailed what I wanted out of the backend and frontend after many implementations, now working on implementing the 'final version'), but I just started a company to develop biotech software with deep learning.

I made several games in various environments, like lisp + CEPL, UE4 or godot, or straight OGL + SDL. Some were 90% of the way to being published but then my collaborators all dropped (usually because they got bored). I actually like enginedev far more than gamedev, but either way, it's fun, too. Actually the first piece of software I ever wrote was a text adventure game in qbasic with sound and graphics and such when I was 8

I've also dabbled with ESP32's to make STM's e.g. like in https://dberard.com/home-built-stm/

I love tech, but I absolutely loathe "tech products" (all the consumer-grade "tech" gadgets that are pushed left and right).

Hey, don't just be casually successful at life while we're failing here!

i always thought hardware was mega cool. a physical piece of technology, ヽ(´ー｀)ノ

I'm honestly at a crossroads myself here. I'm in the industry, have touched just about everything, and now I just don't know what I really want to be passionate about. Either embedded or cloud (exact opposites) seem cool, but I really don't know. BTW OP embedded is not nearly as cool as it sounds. A lot of cost saving corporate bullshit. Unless you're doing it as a passion project then it's pretty fun.

Cloud is absolutely terribad and miserable. It's config hell and computers you don't control breaking down because fuck SLAs. Nothing interesting gets done there. At least say something like IoT.

>>140178
automations, i love creating scripts and programs to automate stuff

>>140222
I know, I have my reasons for liking it. I don't think I could ever do IoT, I just don't like the technology.

Dildo!

It's been a while sinne I truily was excited for new tech as I used to be - as when a new game console was released. I was so fukking exited for teh Wii launch. Switch 2 is out now and I don't even feel bother to look it up - mostly due to that product are less and less innovative today and more teh same as teh last product. Now teh talk is very focused about AI - which is rather boring to use after a few uses.

Old products was fun, and things always changed as new innovates was made. I miss mp3 and mp4 players - then phones started to have mp3 players in them. Teh UI always kept changing and teh look feelt new. I was very excited for VR at first - but after awhile it was less fun too. VR p0rn is great tho

>>140224
Explain your reasons!!!!!

>>140228
thats a really big dildon Σ(;ﾟДﾟ)

>>140229
It's purely for work. I would never do it on my off-time. Between the insane pay for it and the entrance into the corporate structure it ends up setting you up for success.

Also the culture behind cloud design is nice. It's all about efficiency and I appreciate that. There's also AI but at the end of the day I don't think it's going to have as big of an effect as cloud tech is.

Hope this doesn't make me sound like too much of a corporate douchebag.

>>140234
Cloud design is the anti-thesis of efficiency. It's actually meant to trade off efficiency for liability. How can you even possibly conceive that there is efficiency in downloading 50GB of data to launch a single python program that orchestrates other python programs to run cold on 2 virtualization layers that load 500+ layers of overlay filesystems (even 10 was considered slow for user filesystems... lol) to create a coherent system to run a microscopic task that doesn't last a second but then needs its output piped to another such gargantuan abomination?

The point of all this crap is that if your userbase increases 10x, you just have to click a button and it will still work (except if you had used a monolithic single server you would have been able to host 100x the userbase before thinking of upgrading), and if your userbase dies off overnight, you can scale down without having invested in hardware that now sits idle with a big hole in your balance sheet (but not really because it would show up as depreciation instead in real life).

AI at least is definitely cool in practice (but none of the bullshit fluff that's been the only topic of attention since 2018) and has many amazing applications (if you don't fall for the 'chatgpt is sentient'-tier nonsense hype around "foundation models" and "LLMs" and all that crap).

But putting "cloud" and "tech" in the same sentence is worthy of a guffaw for sure. Ever heard the phrase "resume-oriented development"? Everything about cloud is that.

i mostly just like playing around with lamp servers

>>140254
This is the way. No kubernetes and docker bullshit. LAMP lights the way.

I've dabbled in a lot of stuff before. I made a few crappy games, crappy websites, i wrote my own mods for a game...
Embedded systems sound cool, no experience. I'm yet to see where life takes me and what i'll love doing the most, i still haven't tried everything (ﾟｰﾟ)

>>140178
i like making life easier using tech for myself. im not really intrested in creating something really innovative out of nowhere. like linus torvalds says "i just wanna fix the next pothole in the road"

>>140345
Too bad torvalds ended up building the largest software potholes ever
Not entirely his fault, though, it's not like he created un*x.
At least it's a nice thought.

What are you making then?

>>140378
i live in a bad neighbourhood so i am making a home system with cams and such. will probably open source it when im done

>>140390
pro tip: dont live near

>>140417
the american experience is centered around improving one's finances in order to stay as far away from as possible while trying to find a more socially acceptable way to think of it (poor, uneducated, food desert, etc.)

FINAL WAVE APPROACHING

SCORE:14/88

i like technology, specifically programming
I wish i was as successful as >>140194 though
look at my first triangle in opengl, of the 3 hours i spent making it 2 were used to configure kdevelop

for a long time was into game dev but now im pivoting to web/software dev because it'll be easier to get a job
also i probably wouldn't be allowed to make my own games if i were to join a game dev company, although im not 100% sure on that

>>140194
i'm like engine dev too but unfortunately i am too retarded to make one beyond the basics
