Saved to watch this for later. Hey man what's your opinion on Rust language. It seems to me that it's so much easier to get a good product up and running in the backend with Rust than any other language. Do you think it looks promising for the future?
There goes this guy's "half a Saturday". Now he has to wait 1 week to recharge his stamina
I just wanna share this information to you, God bless you John 3:16 New King James Version 16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 15 Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. 3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance[a]: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, Ephesians 2:8-10 King James Version (KJV) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. John 11:25-26 New Living Translation (NLT) Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Acts 16:31 in Other Translations 31 They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, along with everyone in your household.” Romans 10:9 New International Version If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Acts 2:38 Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Mark 16:16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. Matthew 24:13 New International Version but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.
this is why i hate the cloud and current deployment practices, look how much time you need to burn in order to deploy an app.
True!
I completely identify with your pain and felt the same way many times in the past, but lets not delude ourselves. A million doesn't have the power it once had. Even at 5% a year which many will say is unsafe long term, it's only $50k ($32k~ in my country after taxes), can you live on $32k a year? That's like a McDonalds salary. Maybe if you are alone and don't care about your living standard at all.
No, that's true. The only thing it would do is give you a chance to work on what you were passionate about - if you didn't care about living standard
my name is Ty2Fly this my alt account how do i invest in u?
you seem very genuine, I wish you luck
Thank you! 😊
Man I needed this thanks
i dont know anything about you, this video was just randomly recommended to me, but im glad i clicked it. it helped motivate me. stay strong
Thanks for sharing feedback, it's really encouraging!
Im glad you expressing yourself man God bless

Nah, just 1 or 3 cold boys
I would word this a bit differently, you are bascially saying there is "one solution" out there. To me, experienced engineers are not as stressed because they know there are an endless amount of solutions to any given problem when developing software. Take your box diagram, what experienced developers see is not a box with one arrow, it is arrows flowing out in all directions. I see younger developers get frustrated and stressed because they believe there is one single perfect solution that they need to find. It is limiting themselves.
Good feedback, this helps me think about it
i wonder if internet will be spammed with ai trash will it be removed and kept only best actually useful ai generated content, or.... will run internet into a huge trash pile... and it will be.... the end ... so even generated content will be generated on generated content.... and it will overrun humans and this is insane.... will literally go back to stone age.
This! I'm wondering if the backlash to AI (content) will be a more defining moment than the AI itself.
I think that in the future, the monotonous, repetitive work will be done more and more by robots. They never have to go to the bathroom, don't need a break, never get sick and never want a raise. Yes, humans are cheap labor, but when technology is a little more advanced, they will replace many more. Humanoid robots in particular are just at the beginning and are still very slow. I think a lot will change here.
That's what I've lost faith in. To match the generalized intelligence of even a dumbass human, we're looking at something like a whole row of server and disk racks, which would cost over $30/hour in power alone.
Sports broadcasting has been using that for years now for cutting their highlight reels.
I figured they must have some crazy good tech because those reels look clean
Most of us are scopophobic, so turning on the camera will not help. But yeah, AI helps a lot in video editing, but like me, i do not even want to hear my self speak, so I prefer use AI to generate my speech. It is so time consuming editing a video though, even with AI, ensuring that the generated speech syncs with the video and stuff like that.
Now I wanna hear your voice! Don't we all hate our own voices?
Fact that you are working as a programmer shows that you are (was) incapable to write "killer app". May be you WILL. Haha, good luck.
Nah, it's true.. I wouldn't stick around at a job if I hit it big
Higher the position higher the expectation and higher must be the results
+1 for no suspense. thank you!
Totally agree, this is a mindset we need to adopt and sustain as new problems come along while we are already working on a problem. Another point i want to add is that we are paid for context switching. So need to embrace this fact as well.
Thank you! I got surprised by having to switch contexts too. Like why can't I just get lost in one task!
liam ottley just made a vid saying he's been getting a lot of offers to build chatbots for cam sites so the girls don't have to chat themselves
Yeah, but while I think the guys on there are suckers, I doubt they're such suckers that they'll pay for chat once they realize it's a computer
very true
A restaurant I was delivering to asked if I could develop a loyalty solution for them. I suggested creating a loyalty app for restaurants and spent a year developing the first MVP, mostly working after my day job and on weekends. It was tough balancing my social life with app development. However, my motivation dipped when I realized restaurants weren’t really interested in the app. Even though some of them seemed excited during my presentations, none of them followed up or signed up, even though it was free. Development is only one cog in what makes up a successful startup, alongside others like sales, marketing, and more. Often, one person lacks knowledge in at least one of these areas. In hindsight, I should’ve focused on properly identifying a problem before jumping to a solution. In the end, there’s always luck involved in finding a suitable problem, finding the right people to work with, and ensuring that the timing is right.
This was the wave for like 3 months, and the shit got burnt out. OpenAI can snap their fingers and moat you right out of the market. Good video!
Thanks, man! Nah, I can't wait till OpenAI changes something up and exposes everyone who's riding along for free
From one tech entrepreneur to another I don’t want to discourage you but this is one of YCombinators tarpit ideas (Google it). As proof, here’s a quote from Wikipedia taken today: “ The following year, a Lakeside teacher enlisted [Bill, yes that bill] Gates and Evans to automate the school's class-scheduling system, providing them computer time and royalties in return. “ I’m pretty sure it turned out to be an NP hard problem. Move on or look at the apps that have tried to solve it for restaurants, there are a bunch. Keep going g
Great insight 🔥
Thank you!
Easiest way to find such niches probably is talking to somebody who runs some small business. As those people would have better insight of pain points and places to optimize. Im small businesses those people are usually also owners of said businesses, so they might share very valuable knowledge as they have skin in the game.
Hm, the economist in me immediately sees this as a market problem. Let the employees trade their work hours among themselves and that would already account for preferences. You are trying a centralized approach but that's famously hard to compute. The app could instead be a platform for "advertising" trades of hours. Person A posts "I don't want Tuesdays", person B sees that and offers "my Saturdays for your Tuesdays". If they agree, it goes to the manager to approve the trade (maybe they need one specific person on a specific day because of some skill).
I already know you're on to something, because 4 out of 6 scheduling apps I tried had some kind of trading feature. 0 had a centralized way to vote/bid
I'm not knowledgeable about these alr but if that's what you say about these websites, it sounds like these sites are useless with so many similar sites like these and I'm thinking how rich OpenAI is because of these many developers who are paying them to use GPT yet their sites are kinda useless.
If OpenAI were smart, they'd wait till everyone is dependent on them, then raise their prices 10x 😬
Taking one other comment, the system of 0 to 3 preference for off days seems the most intuitive to me. But i still have a couple of questions. 1 - How would you decide how much "points" each employee can spend? I imagine an employee can't put 3 on all days 2 - If there are some day where it is impossible to have someone (every employee set to 3 the sunday for example), would you want the manager to decide, or the software to do a random choice? 3 - Is the minimum number of necessary employee variable day by day? 4 - Are all employee equal in skills / capabilities where we can assume they are interchangeable without problems? 5 - Is the number of maximum weekly hours per employee variable? Then a proposal: Would you reward employees for working on "unpopular days"? For example every employee has 20 points a week to spend, but if you work on days were almost no one wants to work (let's say sunday) you get 22 points to spend in the next week. This would partially solve point (2) because employee would rotate in their spending power to avoid unpopular days. (sorry if not clear, english is not my first language)
I know days/hours vary in the salon even if all stylish perform the same function, so that complicates it. LOVE the idea of rewarding work on unpopular days!
This is a good example of why I think it's dumb to chase opportunities from industry to industry. Set yourself up as a software company for agroculture. Any industry is going to have opportunities.
I am a software engineer. I developed a solution for a very convoluted scheduling process that involved filling vacations for a warehouse of 250+ people. Scheduling systems are always a MASSIVE headache. In my opinion, there are two very large hurdles: 1) The system needs to know WHICH people can do WHAT function AND WHEN those function need to be staffed. Creating the relationships and constraints between all those data points is always messy and time-consuming. You simply cannot get around that; however, once it's done, it can save hours. 2) Making a system that allows for any combination of constraints/preferences is virtually impossible. The warehouse, in my example, needed preference given to those with the highest seniority when people would sign up to fill a vacation. A constraint like that, not many businesses have and wouldn't apply in this scenario. I can't think of a generic way to handle adding/removing a constraint like that without it being baked into the code itself -- which costs developer time. I am working on a SaaS platform for small/medium sized businesses and a goal of ours is to have scheduling functionality for appointment-based businesses (like a salon), but this opens my eyes to also scheduling for staffing needs. Unfortunately, the undertaking is just too large to offer a free tier. To get it right requires a ton of engineering and I doubt any company would offer that up for free without some other type of buy-on. It's going to either be a purpose-built, subscription service, or a "fee"-ture/up-sell to an existing application.
I'm so grateful you took the time to share your experience. Even if scheduling is simpler for hair stylists, I honestly can't even think of another business offhand with a completely flat workforce. Even for my sister as a waitress - the senior waitstaff get dibs on the evenings with bigger tips.
1:1 my thoughts. I think its a trend which will die hopefully soon. Thats not the shine of software engineering Also imo false adertisments and promises shouldnt be legal
Man, if they made false advertising illegal then every AI company would go down. Unless they added a disclaimer that their demos are for entertainment purposes only.
Your last comment on finding a job that aligns with your side project -- doesn't that get close to the line of violating "Do Not Compete" clauses that many of us have with our employers? If we go out and launch a project or app that shares a lot of similarities with what we worked on that is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
It might, yeah. I wouldn't want to risk it by serving the same market my company does. To me that's what competing means, not use of the same technologies and techniques.
Thank you for saying this
most interesting part of this video was hearing you reason through the complexities of an idea and doing so clearly and with prescience. well done. i think you might be missing one aspect - not everyone has a preference for when to be off, some might have a stronger preference for the inverse, when to work. they might not care one iota for mon-fri but love to work weekends for whatever reason. logically, distributing those coins during the weekdays just to get to the weekend shifts might confuse the user (the question is then in their head: "are these coins for being off or for when i want to work?" maybe i'm overcomplicating this, but i definitely have been in this position before. the other part is that there may some weeks that the preferences are way too similar, ending up with poor optimisations. but blame the software in that case haha! i agree with you about simplicity, even though this already exists, the implementation is the money-bag. making dumber than dumb and impossible to misuse. no settings. no hidden menus. just a schedule, a bunch of coins and then a lock-in feature. best of luck friend.
You know those toggle sliders on some apps that say "Mute" until you slide them and they say "Unmute". I have no idea if sound is about to play or not! Invaluable feedback, I appreciate it.
😂 now that you say it, almost every new app idea is a chatgpt wrapper. Just UI with some premade prompts and a database
It's crazy because I know pre-set prompts could have value. With all these wrappers, I just have no way of knowing whether their prompts are worth paying money so I'm just going to avoid them all 😬
@@BigStupidTech I wonder if others are paying for them? 😅
💯👍
Interested to learn how to promote sites on reddit
I've been able to get around 50 visitors per hour I put into promoting on Reddit. I'll try to share what's worked for me soon, thanks for mentioning it!
@@BigStupidTech How much does it cost promoting on Reddit?
I suspect more people are interested in how to rank in chatgpt than Google these days
I remember professors were talking about something like this when I was in college. Apparently there is a software like that for universities where each prof adds their constraints and the software automatically calculates the course schedule. In programming it’s an optimization problem and it can be solved with constraints programming.
I've never even heard that term, thanks for letting me know about it 😯
Yes this is similar to linear optimization, but also different since none of the constraints are hard, so you could get by with a simpler system instead of solving the equations
Sounds like a great idea - kindof a heatmap for employee preferences - maybe onboard with a 0 to 3 preference for work days and times. Projected a month in advance
I like the 0-3 weighting system more, it sounds simpler. Good idea!
if you made this app, how would anyone know to look for it? you looked up whether it exists because ur interested in apps. why didn't she look for it?
Nah, I don't think anyone would know to look for it. It'd have to be promoted or spread word of mouth.
I think the best approach to launch your own app, is to work and grind on a job for a couple of years, and set funds aside to last you at least a year, and then quit your job, and work full-time on building your app. If you run out of funds, pause the development, and get hired again, set funds aside again, and repeat the process! However, I don't think the lack of time and burnout is the real reason of why more coders aren't building their apps. It's business, admin, taxes, and laws! I personally don't want to become a business owner! I like coding, not talking to people and investors and clients! I'm not good with laws and taxes, and it's a straight-up nightmare to deal with all those! I think people should focus on doing what they love and what they're good at, instead of trying to get rich no matter what! It's a miserable experience otherwise!
This resonated, 'appreciate that insight
I totally agree with the second paragraph, however I would not quit my job unless it's really necessary. Always try to build an MVP in your free time to prove your concept , and if that's not possible, only quit if you have properly identified the market-fit for your solution, otherwise you might be risking a gap in your CV and are losing out on additional funding.
Rightly said
I am hoping to get by with a few domains hosted by the same host, linking to domains on another host, with my hosts seperating tiers, what do you think? international PBN hosts suck for national domains i fear
I think that's smart. They couldn't really tie your target domains to the others then.
@@BigStupidTech yeah thanks for the reply, did some research and it really makes me conclude. Having different niches on the same host should be fine, meaning I can link to different niche-connected-sites on my moneyhost. Interlinking seems to be the problem which is understood. Its really a grey area, since there are enough legit instances where I have customers who are partners of each other literally interlinking. I never expected such a meaningful businesstool to be penalized.
Hey, Thank You for video. So I've always been interested in programming since my teens however I gave that up for pursuing a business degree. Now though I realized I always loved creating stuff. I see programming like engineering but without the need of all the physics, chemistry etc. I started learning to program on my spare time as a hobby but now I realized that AI is kinda taking over. My question is still necessary for me to follow the traditional path of learning a specific language, algorithms and the likes even with AI? Also as someone with experience in the field how would approach including AI in the creating process? I hope I didn't ask dumb questions. Thank You !
Not at all, that's what we're all thinking right now. I do think learning a specific language in depth is a waste of time now, I'm really not finding it harder to work with an unfamilar language like Ruby, than JS or Python - when I have an AI copilot. Math and algorithms are some of the few things I'd go back to school for, because I have seen 0 help from AI in working with them.
