I don't want to share and talk with my neighbors. I don't know my neighbors names and I don't want to know. That's why my lockdown project was an anti-social solitary endeavor that can be appreciated alone in darkness. L

What's next after learning to code? Learn marketing. Be social. Don't not be social. Build social capital. Blog. Network. Always sell yourself. Market your brand or your code might as well not exist.

I forked youtubedown because it has too many features. I don't want to download any files and I don't want to mux DASH formats. All I want is a script that prints the 360p video url as fast as possible. And JWZ broke support for

I'm gonna reconsider using Athlon1600/youtube-downloader in my projects but from what I remember of benchmarks I did about 8 months ago my fork of youtubedown was faster like obtain a video url in 300ms faster. In my projects I la

I was so hoping this was a new data structure. It's a laptop holder. Funny thing is I rarely code on a laptop anymore. I find a tablet to be so much more portable and I'm adapted to the touch keyboard. So I could use a park bench

Oh cool. I could have used this a couple of years ago when $Company was launching a new $product and I was working a lot of overtime and weekends. Not so much this year though with chroma virus there's not much work to do. Definitely n

Yes except the whole invidious project is rapidly being abandoned according to discussion on GitHub. The next breaking change in YouTube could break invidious forever if the project is unmaintained. I just need to remember not to be lazy an

So true. Adding features just makes more work for you. It doesn't mean more users or more active users. See I think when users request features the subtext is they're actually giving you an excuse for why they don't use your

There have been other alternatives in the past and there will be other alternatives in the future. I've found the most reliable option is to run my own and not rely on someone else's service which can break at any time and disappe

No. It's impossible for a coder to make money in software. You forgot to add "as long as you're a shameless self promoting blogger and SEO spammer who spends 1% of the time coding and 99% of the time marketing." That is

by ZinniaZirconium 6y ago
That's exactly what I'm saying. You can't make money making software. Software is worth nothing. Coding doesn't pay.

Oh that's a shame. > The API will continue to function until October 1st, to give time for any services relying on it to migrate to other solutions. Aw no. I was thinking about using invidio.us in my own projects but now I guess I w

They should learn to code! But coding doesn't pay! I worked for startups where I wrote the entire backend code behind the products that put the companies in business. Then the business geniuses ran the businesses into the ground and I

Yup. Musicians are releasing like 20 new tracks per hour to Jango. I know because I'm on a mission to collect all of it. And like 71% is from independent artists who will never make it big and nobody will listen to. Not even me even th

Ok. I can only speculate unless you want to document. I'll guess again! My VPN just happened to be IP banned which I had no way of knowing before registering. I'm sure new people appreciate being labeled as abusive trolls and spam

Registering an account through a VPN is an automatic shadowban without warning. How is a new user supposed to know this? Hacker News is a lot less hospitable in reality than it seems to an outsider. If you just register a lurker account and

OK my project is open source. I have zero stars, zero downloads, and zero users. How much do I get paid? Zero? But I wrote open source code that solves a real problem. It's open source. I should deserve to get paid. Because open source

Not if you genuinely don't care about impressing anyone. A real programming job involves convincing someone your work is valuable enough to pay for. A welfare scam involves convincing someone you deserve free money. Both are too much s

I wish there were different recommended configurations for SQLite when used as the backend of a web site versus the storage format for an embedded system. The defaults are really not suitable for concurrency or for tables with millions of r
