Are you just making the blind assumption that he's a programmer?

Are you just making the blind assumption that he's a programmer?
- Tichy 16y agoOne year means he could have spent 364 days learning how to program and do all the 1000 uploads on the final day of the year...
- xenophanes 16y agoI agree, but... One day for 1000 iterations means 86.4 seconds to upload to youtube, wait for encoding to finish, then download it. Youtube is slower than that. :-) Better give it a week. Maybe a month.
- pjscott 16y agoHe could work on something else during that month. Automation!
- xenophanes 16y agoYes of course, but he can't take 364 days to learn to program.
- amalcon 16y agoOr one (maybe a few, I don't know what the going rate for something like this) day working for minimum wage, a few hours to find a freelance programmer, and paying the programmer to write the upload script. Then, spend ~360 days doing whatever. Something tells me this project was not about efficiency.
- mos1b 16y agoI make maple syrup by hand. It requires a huge amount of physical labor, as well as a fairly expensive evaporator and as well as a small building devoted to that single purpose. The product tastes the same as the stuff I can buy from my neighbor's maple stand for a fraction of the cost and effort. It's wholly irrational. And I'll do it again next year. Sometimes the joy comes from doing it the hard way.
