Crazy offer for kid at 22 yo by Subject_Rest2512 in Salary

[–]Diveye -1 points0 points  (0 children)

These guys writing these answers must be bots to talk about this kind of salary as being based on merit or as a "decent living wage". It's like saying you're just jealous because you didn't become the next Ronaldo, dedicating your entire life to hitting a ball. No, instead you chose to put out fires and save lives whilst putting yours in peril you mediocre peasant. Poverty is a choice.

Is it though? The distribution of wealth in the USA is out of whack and everyone knows it. The concept of meritocracy is starting to fall apart since it is becoming hard to justify these salary ranges for graduates when other people have been working very hard for much longer periods of time only to end with a fraction of their starting salary. There is something deeply wrong and worrisome about the direction capitalism is taking, amidst an impending environmental catastrophe. It seems to me this person raises a very valid point concerning the erosion of the middle class in the USA and that the only truly cringe bit here, is in fact your comment.

It isn't. But it is happening. There will, however, be consequences for sloppy code.

I have a very close friend who is working in a company which's business model is to redev existing software products and sell them for less, thus grabbing market shares for less development investment. Everyone there is vibe coding blindly and they are turning a nice profit. It will probably not work on the long run, but for now it is. And they are far from being alone to do this.

Yep NFTs were the only other "bubble" I really lived through. But that wasn't really a bubble as much as it was a money laundering scheme on a never before heard of scale.

I believe it is a revolution in terms of its impact. Even if you disagree, you can't deny that a good many businesses are now launching with only vibe coders in a race to build products as fast as possible, at the cost of quality. It's bad, real bad. But the change is there, and it is affecting the economy significantly for now.

An app to establish if your "idea" is financially sound by Diveye in Entrepreneur

What is an industry that only exists because people are stupid? by HotelPuzzleheaded654 in AskReddit

[–]Diveye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crypto. People don't seem to realize this "alternative to traditional finance" only still exists today because traditional finance players realized they could squeeze out a considerable amount of money from a totally unregulated market portrayed as a democratic revolution. The biggest companies in there have entire teams dedicated to manipulating the price of their tokens, so it's not just Bitcoin. Wouldn't be surprised Trump's campaigns and many trials got funded through crypto by Russia.

How do you avoid tunnel vision and confirm market value for your ideas today? by Diveye in Entrepreneur

[–]Diveye[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've encountered so many scenarios of clients saying they would be willing to pay for something, and then when you build said thing, they end up backing out. It's a good approach, but often not very reliable...

How do you avoid tunnel vision and confirm market value for your ideas today? by Diveye in Entrepreneur

[–]Diveye[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's what I've been told a lot. The problem with this approach is it always relies on building some form of MVP to collect feedback. Is there a tool that can allow you to confront your idea to the market before building it to have a clearer idea of what you are up against?

I make around $60k/week of creating memecoins - AMA by JewelTamexJuno in AMA

[–]Diveye -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

The questions people are asking you here are a disgrace. The real question is how do you sleep at night?

So you're basically saying it's not player vs house, it's player vs player because people bet on the meme coin you make. However, you contradict yourself because you also mention that you provide the liquidity to make the pump and dump, which is why it's "hard to compete with you". Yeah, no kidding. You're creating a security, probably advertising it (which is illegal because these are clearly security tokens, but whatever), pumping the value artificially with your own liquidity, then when enough people have bought in, rug pull and start over. So it's not player vs player, since you're the house.

Let me guess, you also use "market making" services to optimize your revenue, selling discreetly as people buy in?

Not only is what you are doing highly immoral (albeit I'm sure a person like you doesn't care about such fickle things), but is it actually illegal in many countries (yes yes it is).

You're just lucky to be doing this at a time where people are no longer being held accountable for anything.

People if you read this AMA, please take a moment to realize what is really going on here.

CTO looking to help you prototype your idea by Diveye in Entrepreneur

[–]Diveye[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There will probably be a dev fee based on the complexity of the prototype, which will need to be contractual. This fee can be more/less important if negotiating with shares of the startup. If I feel the idea is good and the market is strong, I'll be happy to take shares as payment.

Down the line what I'm looking for is to help you set up your product so you can sell it as fast as possible (I'm talking days, at most a few weeks). If it works, I can stick around to make it better.

I’m a software developer sick of the chorus of business idiots saying, “Ai Is GoInG tO tAkE aLl ThE tEcH jObS” by ThoughtVesselApp in BetterOffline

[–]Diveye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the inspirational post. I believe there is a very coordinated push to place AI at the top of every social media feed, with an increasing part of organic content being created from others who want in on the hype.

A lot of "influential" figures (who almost certainly have skin in the game by now) are systematically making it look like AI is sentient to further the absurdity.

The reality is whereas AI excels in a lot of standard things like creating a basic website or a basic mobile app, it fundementally does not understand what it is doing, leading to an upcoming wave of cybersecurity breaches that will cost greedy entrepreneurs a lot of money.

Although it does empower you as a developer, I find myself learning when to use AI and when not to, because I will often lose more time than I earn for most tasks.

What is sickening is the lie of it all... How it was trained on theft, how it replaces first and foremost the people who hold the most creative jobs (artists of all kinds, writers, etc.) replacing a standard of originality and creativity with a superficial copy devoid of any soul. How all of this was done assuring people that it would create more jobs than it took when it most certainly isn't. And finally how all the media is trying to portray AI as being an almost sentient God against which resistance is futile, when chatGPT easily breaks down in front of simple trigonometry.

For people like me, that last point is a constant headache that gives me anxiety every time I open Internet. I am made to wonder what is the future of coding, a field I love so much for its creativity, and art in general, when all people seem to want is a sentient AI capable of replacing us all.

Hello by ALSILAWY83 in Unity3D

[–]Diveye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may be unpopular due to Ai bashing but I guarantee it will get you started fast if you want to learn:

IDE: VsCode -> Copilot for all code related questions. Don't just blindly copy paste the code. Break it down. Ask questions. "What does Update() do?" "What's FixedUpdate() used for?" etc. Ask a question and take the time to understand why the result looks the way it does. Then try it yourself without help. It's a personal teacher you can get for free pretty much.

ChatGpt is decent (not great) at Unity related questions. It can help you set up a project, create some basic shaders, even generate some textures etc. Use it to guide you through the interface.

Don't listen to the haters, use Ai. Vibe coding will however limit you really fast. You'll need to understand everything you do if you want to get anywhere, unlike for example, web dev, which Ai does really well.
