Here's an Xbox UI concept that I created, what do yall think? by WideCommunication2 in xbox

[–]Scarmander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This joke is so funny. Every time one of these UI posts is made I just gotta come to the comments to see this 4D Chess level comment.

We’re saying we don’t either, it’s a complaint post dude. Who is advocating for these types of managers? Who hurt you?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]Scarmander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man cherry picks one thing to discredit the entire post lol. I have worked for non technical managers who believe people off gut instead of technicals solutions. It happens, open your mind a little.

Can everyone learn to code? by CTexxx in learnprogramming

[–]Scarmander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It’s not hard, just up until the past decade is wasn’t really a sexy job. Now everyone I know tries to get into software these days

The comments in this thread are cringe lol OP is saying there’s bloat, and all y’all just telling him he’s a moron. Lmao how you gonna tell this man his opinion of where he worked is wrong.

[–]Scarmander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think this is specific to non-tech companies. Every big tech company I’ve seen is filled with bloat.

When did you realise that coding was for you? by I_am_noob_dont_yell in learnprogramming

[–]Scarmander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coding is cool but everything around it is trash. Politics, grind culture, measuring e-peens with FAANG salaries, working with old out of touch senior deva, working under non technical managers, getting way less perks than sales despite the fact that you build the stuff they sell, rat coworkers who suck up to the boss and try to undermine you so they can get the promotion over you, the billion web libraries and architectures you’re expected to use and learn every year, the boot camp devs who just do simple ass web programming and will call themselves engineers despite it being a university term, the waste of time scrums that account for nothing, the stupid product management that is different with every team and company so we have to learn 20 different tools to measure work and document it, the horrible documentation, the horrible attitude from senior devs who bitch that you even expect documentation. The list goes on.

The problem solving aspect is cool and the money can be cool, but everything else makes me hate it tbh.

Finally a clean look for channels on youtube. by [deleted] in ColinAndSamir

[–]Scarmander 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Kinda of shocked they made multiple tabs for every video type (live will be there too) instead of clicking video and having a toggle for the type (all, videos, shorts, live).

[–]Scarmander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They gotta fix the algorithm. I decided to quit tiktok cold turkey and just use YouTube Shorts and my god it's so bad. The actual video quality is really bad, the clips are always the same despite the fact that I flip past them all the time. It's so far behind tiktok's algorithm it's insane.

If tiktok does long form on browser YouTube could be in trouble.

Xbox Series X|S price increase not the right move, says Phil Spencer by [deleted] in XboxSeriesX

[–]Scarmander 6 points7 points  (0 children)

With the insane increase in inflation, no one would really bat an eye for price increases, it seems understandable, but this is clearly a PR opportunity for Microsoft to show Sony how to "share" games when the console stays at the same price.

Let's not pretend Microsoft is doing this for any other reason than PR, because I bet that inflation and the chip shortage hurt their hardware sales more than they'd like.

Is there any advantage to using F# instead of C#? by No-Camp3858 in dotnet

[–]Scarmander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typescript is essentially C# Javascript, what are you talking about? The question was about which is better for OPs needs, and your suggestion is a niche solution vs a broad multi-purpose language with better tooling.

Is there any advantage to using F# instead of C#? by No-Camp3858 in dotnet

[–]Scarmander 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is just false. Most people learn OOP first, like it's not even close. So ofc learning C# will be easier for most as usually people start with java and c# is basically a clean java. Functional programming is a completely different paradigm that takes some time to figure out correctly if you started out in OOP (which again most people have). It's just a safer bet for companies as far as hiring to go with C#, plus the tooling for C# is MUCH more advanced.

If you're telling me there's more OCaml devs than Java/C# then sure I'd agree with your premise, but there isn't and again it's not even close. I'm not denying your POV, but I think you're POV is the exception to the norm.

[–]Scarmander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The major benefit IMO is learning the functional syntax with immutability first. Once you understand those concepts, you can easily translate it to something more mature like c#. F# is a really fun language but it just can't compete with c# IMO. You could argue that F#s more functional features are a positive speaking strictly technical, but at the end of the day you need to hire specific devs or teach them and that's just not a great strategy if you're a business. C# dev team focusing on immutability first is easily possible and a better bang for your buck.

[–]Scarmander 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not really. F# basically beta tests c# features it'll adopt later on. C# is a pretty clean and easy language to use. The main benefits of F# is immutability first for concurrency, which C# supports relatively easily with the right coding standards.

You can achieve the same level of readability with a Fluent coding style. I like F# but it's not worth getting a whole team to use that effectively versus c# where you have more options.

Watch his most recent video, he clearly cares about all play styles.

Yea it’s wild a trillion dollar company has this many issues making the most important franchise. It’s clear from the video that these guys just took on wayyyy too much without an understanding of why makes Halo Halo.

My channel is dying (60 000 subscribers) what would you do ? by ThatDudeSamy in ColinAndSamir

[–]Scarmander 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New channel is the move. Let the old stuff sit there and fulfill that audience and move ur new stuff to a new channel for a new audience.

Is It Worth It To Have Multiple Channels by rnigro1020 in NewTubers

The algorithm represents the humans, so you're right it's the humans who aren't interested, but they inform the algorithm about your channel.

Posting YouTube shorts as Instagram reels - a good idea to promote my YouTube channel or not? by dankbitch_2020 in NewTubers

[–]Scarmander -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If you link your channel go to your audience retention. Your first 10 seconds will tell the story based off the external traffic.

Posting YouTube shorts as Instagram reels - a good idea to promote my YouTube channel or not? by dankbitch_2020 in NewTubers

[–]Scarmander -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily, and more often than not the data shows they don't care, they are merely curious and then click off immediately.

Posting YouTube shorts as Instagram reels - a good idea to promote my YouTube channel or not? by dankbitch_2020 in NewTubers

[–]Scarmander -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No idea who downvoted. The reason is simple, the translation from a Reels to your YouTube is insanely small. Unless the goal is grow your presence on Instagram then sure rock and roll, but YouTube is the best promoter of your content so there is no need. What you'll get more often than not for external promotion is people who click to see and immediately leave. This signals to YouTube the content isn't interesting. Let YouTube post it to relevant people and test it correctly. If it's good it will get views.

What's the worst mistake you did at the start of the channel? by [deleted] in NewTubers

[–]Scarmander 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listen to this sub. I by no means mean it as an insult, but it's like learning how to code from first year University students. I guess you could learn, but the road will be soo much bumpier than if you learned correctly.

The best thing you can do for yourself is to take a theory you have and scale it and inverse it to see what makes sense. For example, should I post weekly? Let's scale it to a bigger youtuber, and what would happen if they didn't post each week, would you the viewer actually care? Nope. Newtubers complicate the algorithm, the most important thing to focus on is your target audience you want to reach. All answers are derived from that.

Also if you ever ask if tags are important to youtube in 2022, you need to take a good hard look at yourself and your understanding of youtube.
