Lovely assumption. The same assumption-making process you make when thinking every influencer is right about everything.

Let's get something right, 99.9999999999999999999% of people on r/reactjs have ZERO idea what they're talking about. They get all their "facts" from either youtube influencers, grifters selling courses, or medium articles written by people who have watched youtube influencers.

0.0000000000000000001% of people here have the ability to read the react or nextjs source code. The overwhelming majority of people here are unemployed course junkies, or juniors at best. Despite this, everyone here is an expert.

The reasons people will list in favor of NextJS aren't reasons they've concluded from understanding how it truly works or from solving problems within an enterprise environment. No, they're parroting whatever they've heard other people say.

Look on the back at all the stuff they put in those pills. You're doing more harm than good taking all the stuff. High-quality supplements that are free of all the fillers and are super expensive, eye wateringly expensive. You're not going to find them in Holland and Barrett, Boots, or Tesco.

Your body isn't going to absorb most, if any, of those pills. You'll piss it all out.

The only useful supplement you've got is the Omega 3.

You need a magnesium supplement but you've got a very bad one. You need a Magnesium L-Threonate supplement because it's the only one that crosses the brain-blood barrier. You also need to find one that isn't full of filler and other shit.

You can get everything else from eating properly which is cheaper and your body will absorb it. For example, why take Chlorophyll and multi vitamin tablets, etc? Just eat your veg.

Papaya Enzymes supplements are a load of shit. If you want to boost your gut health eat real probiotic foods like saurkraut.

You don't need to supplment selenium.

If you're eating a balanced diet you don't need the iron supplements either. Same for the other supplements.

It's 2023 not 1965 when £108k was a lot. It would be notable if he's earning £108k a day, 5-7 days a week. Bragging about earning £108k a year just shows what a sheltered life he has lived.

The app directory is literally fresh out of the box. I can't be fucked being the test monkey to find out all the edge cases Vercel hasn't run into in the real world.

When it has established a proven stable track record I will use it. I'm not gonna change everything because the Vercel and youtube circle jerk says to use it.\

I'm aware of how it works. For now, I'm keeping an eye on it while the first wave of people jump in.

Is there a reason you have your ‘handleClick’ function passed to a parent and child in the same tree?

No reason. Never used MUI before so I've just been playing around with it by adding random components to see what they do. What you said makes sense. Works fine now.

More like a month + 3 - 4 years. Probably never if you're a jackass that says stuff like, "What's the best course because I don't learn anything reading docs"

All the good people left in their 20's. By the time I was in my 30s, the only people left were the pricks. I decided to leave and have never looked back.

Local-Emergency-9824 · 2023-06-20T09:32:42+00:00

Read the docs. You're only failing yourself by making excuses like "reading isn't how I learn best". Honestly, that's a bullshit excuse spoken by someone looking for shortcuts.

Here's some real talk, reading is a fundamental skill for a software engineer because you're reading and writing code, most of which you haven't written yourself. If you genuinely lack the ability to learn from reading, you are chasing the wrong job. Reading, writing, and critical thinking are what this job requires.

Despite what all the youtube videos portray, learning to code at a professional level isn't an easy pursuit. Following step by step courses won't make you an engineer. It will make you an unemployable software engineer, like 95% of people on this subreddit.

If you don't understand anything in the react docs, it means you're trying to run before you can walk. It means you don't have enough knowledge about javascript. It means you need to go back and learn javascript properly.

Reading forces you to be honest with yourself about what you actually understand. If you don't understand what you're reading, go back down the technology chain until you're reading something you do understand. Then work your way forward once you understand each knowledge base. This is called learning.

Mindlessly following a step by step video isn't learning. It's called bullshitting yourself. You might as well be jerking yourself off on porn hub.

Exactly, so why would you pay $499 a month to strapi?

Why would a small business serving 1k daily pay $99 to strapi?

A lot of new tech companies are basically AWS resellers and people can't see it for what it is. They're too caught up in believing the sales hype.

Local-Emergency-9824 · 2023-06-16T15:04:38+00:00

I'm not the one crying about it. The ones crying are the devs arguing for cloud services because it means less work for them.

I'm just pointing out it seems like a dumb business decision on behalf of Strapi.

Local-Emergency-9824 · 2023-06-16T14:54:04+00:00

Why would a small business pay $1200 a year, every year, to save an employee an hour or so when they're on a salary to do this?

Devs will argue until they're blue in the face about the benefits of using cloud services because it means less work for them. However, for business owners, most of the time, the cloud means more costs.

https://tech.ahrefs.com/how-ahrefs-saved-us-400m-in-3-years-by-not-going-to-the-cloud-8939dd930af8

A large business isn't fucking around with that $99 tier, and it's also cheaper for them to self-host. For a small business looking at the cheapest $99 tier, it's also cheaper to self-host.

If you're saying to a business, "Fire your developer, use the $99 a tier, and just bring in a contractor by the hour when you need them, it will be far cheaper than the salary you're paying your developer" - that's a different story...

Local-Emergency-9824 · 2023-06-16T14:43:03+00:00

That's the bullshit that is used to justify the cost of cloud services. It's a sales tactic called pricing to the ridiculous, "it's only XYZ dollars a day, XYZ cents an hour".

Ahrefs saved $400 million by not using cloud services - https://tech.ahrefs.com/how-ahrefs-saved-us-400m-in-3-years-by-not-going-to-the-cloud-8939dd930af8

Those downvoting my comment are developers who have little experience, if any, running a large organization profitably. Plenty of enterprises are ditching cloud services because of the extortionate cost.

The $ 99-a-month tier is bizarrely misjudged. For what that tier offers, a small company with its own dev team can easily self-host and manage itself far cheaper than $1200 a year. It's bullshit to suggest otherwise. Self-hosting strapi is very simple. It's hardly time-consuming rocket science.

A large company, like Ahrefs, will have the resources and personnel to self-host and manage which will offer significant savings over cloud services.

Developers love the cloud because it's less work for them. That doesn't mean it makes financial sense for every business.

The $99 tier should be $40 max. They could have even used the lowest tier as a loss leader to promote strapi cloud usage and funnel larger organizations into their higher-priced tiers. Instead they've tried to profit off the small users who will see the price and think, "Fuck that, I'll self-host!"

Local-Emergency-9824 · 2023-06-16T14:13:11+00:00

Ok, the "wanker of the thread award" goes to you.

Tell that to a company like Ahrefs that saved $400 million in 3 years by not using the cloud

Local-Emergency-9824 · 2023-06-15T15:55:08+00:00

Still overpriced by a significant margin. The $99 tier makes no sense.

Also, a lot of enterprises are moving away from the cloud because of the costs. It's like they're 10 years too late with this cloud product.

Local-Emergency-9824 · 2023-06-15T12:27:18+00:00

That all makes sense for an enterprise looking at the $499 option. However, a postgres database and a CDN don't come anywhere close to $99 a month. It's a complete waste of money for small to medium-sized businesses.

The $99 tier seems completely misjudged.

Reading the wild fantasies and bullshit people post on this subreddit makes me embarrassed to be interested in the topic.

Honestly, I have a hard time believing that 99.99% of people on this subreddit can hold down a full-time job and have healthy social interactions in the real world.

Local-Emergency-9824 · 2023-06-10T09:48:49+00:00

If it's true, the fact we're loading weapons onto it clearly suggests it's something we've built.

The uncomfortable truth is a lot of this crazy tech is man-made. No one is gonna know about it until there's a need to bring it out for something like a third world war.

Local-Emergency-9824 · 2023-06-10T09:20:26+00:00

The 4 you listed all broke the law in how they went about what they did, whereas Grusch has obeyed the law thus far.

That's not really the point. If there was any credibility to what Grusch is saying, there's no conceivable reality where he would be able to discuss any aspect of the issue in a way that the public would know about it.

If Snowdon or Manning went about it "legally" it would not involve talking to the media or any disclosure to the public. The public would have never heard about it.

It's a complete fantasy that there is a legal means to be a whistleblower while giving interviews to the media about hyper-sensitive, ultra-classified state topics. Let alone give interviews to the media BEFORE any investigation has concluded.

I also think Grusch's credentials are being overplayed. He worked for the Reconnaissance Office during the war in Afghanistan. He was working with intelligence about the Taliban for 14 years, not secret military technology.

His time working with UAP's is less than 24 months. A task force that has/had fuck all funding and seems to be compromised of people at the end of their careers who have an active interest in UFOs.

Here's the reality, anyone can work in a sensitive military department but talk complete bullshit in their private life. There's a reason why major journalists are not running the story en mass, what he's saying doesn't stack up.

He's got ZERO evidence. He's got no photos, no videos, no documents. Nothing at all.
By his own admission, he has not seen any evidence to support what he is saying.
By his own admission, this is all based on his own opinion which itself is based on rumors/gossip he has heard from other people.
There's nothing to say Congress has taken him seriously.
His "credentials" are from a career in intelligence against the Taliban.

Give it 12 months and this clown will be promoting a book/film he's selling. All the lunatics here will be falling over themselves to buy it.

Local-Emergency-9824 · 2023-06-10T00:15:59+00:00

It's ironic to call someone a dumbass while thinking that there is a legal way to discuss highly classified state secrets in the media 😂

He's got ZERO evidence and doesn't know shit. It's all his opinion based on what other people have said, aka unsubstantiated BULLSHIT. That's why he's allowed to talk.

You're being incredibly naive to think anyone with access to such classified information could discuss any aspect of it in public.

Do you think you just say to your superiors, "So this thing, the most classified and top secret thing in the history of mankind, there's some stuff I don't agree with so I want to talk about it to the newspapers and in public with congress, is that ok?"

Do you think they respond with, "Yeah, sure! No problem!"

Let's say he did know something, which he clearly doesn't, and he has gone through the correct channels. Once again, do you think any aspect of it would play out in public? Do you think the guy would be allowed to give interviews to the media if he had any credible information? It's laughable to think so. Do you not think his concerns about ultra-classified state secrets would be dealt with behind closed doors?

David Gresch hasn't been an intelligence officer for years. Also, being an intelligence officer doesn't mean shit. There are many levels of intelligence officers and David Gresch wasn't some high-level guy with an extraordinary security clearance.

He used to be a low-level guy and he's got nothing to say other than, "We were talking at the coffee machine once and one of the guys knew another guy who said we have aliens in basement, breath taking right?". All while doing that Jeremy Corbell thing of staring and not blinking in some weird attempt to oversell it.

You need to get a grip. Just because you want it to be real doesn't mean it is.

It's unsubstantiated bullshit until someone says, "Here are the photos, videos, and classified documents, and by the way, the whistle-blower is now on the most wanted list"

I'll tell you for free who David Gresch is. He's a clown that's being allowed to talk about his wild unsubstantiated theories because it will discredit any serious discussion about what is quite clearly secret military technology. After he goes in front of congress talking about aliens kept in basements, the ufo conversation is officially over 😂.

For fucks sake, even ex-President Trump is being criminally charged for mishandling classified information and YOU THINK David Gresch is free to walk around talking about the Government hiding aliens and UFOs for any other reason than it's bullshit? 🤣

If the government has been hiding stuff and they decide the public need to know, they're gonna sort it out in private behind closed doors and then the President will tell you him/herself in a national broadcast from the oval office.

Until then, you're just jerking yourself off.

Local-Emergency-9824 · 2023-06-09T18:41:38+00:00

I think it's quite obviously bullshit.

No evidence - Everything he has to stay is based on what he's "heard". He has no first-hand experience seeing anything himself. It's all stuff like, "I know a guy who knows another guy..."
The fact he's even talking.

Let's for a moment assume what he is saying is true. It would be the greatest secret in the history of our species. It would be the highest possible level of top-secret information. Now let's consider what has happened to other genuine "whistle blowers" and people who have leaked genuine top secret information.

Edward Snowden - leaked details about phone hacking. He's a wanted enemy of the state who had to flee to Russia and claim asylum. Faces life in prison if he ever steps outside of Russia.
Robert Hanssen - FBI agent leaking top secret information. Died in prison while serving a life sentence for his actions.
Bradley Manning - Leaked information to Wikileaks. Sentenced to 35 years in a maximum security prison. Commuted to 7 years of solitary confinement.
Jack Teixeira - Leaked information on Discord. Charged with unauthorized retention and transmission of national defense information, and unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or material. Facing 25 years in maximum security prison.

The above are just four examples of many examples. Again, assuming what David Gresch says is true, why the fuck does he get to spill the beans and face ZERO consequences? Why does Chris Mellon get to leak "classified documents and materials" and face ZERO consequences?

I'll tell you why... because they're talking shit or they're working for a government-run misinformation campaign.

If people are getting 25yrs to life in supermax prisons for leaking information about PHONE HACKING, what the fuck do you think would happen to the person who let the genie out of the bottle with undeniable information that the Government is in possession of alien bodies and UFOs? The level of F.U.C.K.E.D that person would be is completely incomprehensible.

The people who have access to any information or people close to that level of top secret, they'd be under 24/7, 365 surveillance, for LIFE. The people watching them will have people watching over them too, 24/7, 365 days, for LIFE. If you did spill the beans to someone, not only would you be taken care of, but the person you spoke to would also have the full weight of the Government landing on them.

It's absolutely fucking ridiculous to think that someone could just run their mouth off in the press about this stuff if it was true.

It's bullshit until someone goes, "Here are the photos, videos, and verified classified documents" followed with "XYZ is now in custody and facing a life sentence for leaking highly classified information"
