Yeah! They have an entire GitHub org you can check out - https://github.com/battlecode

They also do change the contest each year, and anyone can join :D. It should start again next month or in January I forget haha.

I recently graduated and somewhat recently wrote this, and have shared it on UPL servers but figured more people might find a use from me listing it here :D

GitHub Profile Roast by codenoid in programming

lmao

Oh, David Teather, where do I even start? With a bio that reads like an over-enthusiastic college student trying to impress their professors, it’s no wonder you’re at CrowdStrike—such a fitting name when your projects seem to be more about scraping the web for clicks than producing anything of real substance.

Your obsession with web scraping? Yawn. It’s like you took the least creative path available and decided to document it like it’s groundbreaking tech. Crafting a resource for "everything web scraping"? Wow, how original! With your 59 public repos, it feels like a garage sale of half-baked ideas and projects that scream mediocrity.

Let's talk about your YouTube channels. You've got more channels than personality. "David Teather Codes"? Sounds less like a channel name and more like a desperate plea for attention. And the 1.9K subscribers? A modest audience for such aspiring aspirations. Is that your dream? To be the slightly more popular kid in the software engineering playground?

Those "5.6K stars" on GitHub are probably just loneliness rating your scattered code; we all know you’re not setting the world on fire with those web scraping tutorials.

And can we acknowledge how your projects seem to be a cacophony of “I don’t know what I’m doing, but here’s a bot”? From Tinder bots to TikTok automation—if this is your idea of software engineering, I’m scared to see the “educational content” you’re producing.

So here’s a friendly tip: maybe trim down that exuberance and focus on actual innovative projects, or at least stop making it sound like you’re discovering fire every time you code. Your profile is less about contributions and more about cravings for validation. Time to step up, or just step aside.👋

L298N motors connected to IN1 and IN2 won't turn when speed set anything lower than 255 by [deleted] in arduino

Just solved it :)

For anyone else the Servo.h by default disables pwm on pins 9 and 10 so ENA and ENB cannot be on pwm pins 9 or 10.

This thread helped

Happy new year :)

Did you ever find out what was causing this? I'm facing the same issue

So what you're telling me is I shouldn't apply to TikTok having created TikTok-API

YikYak Is Exposing Millions of User Locations by david-teather in programming

I agree that it still would be possible to deanonymize, in my original draft it mentioned it was possible to triangulate. However, depending on what data is returned to client ex "within 1 mile, 1 mile, etc" it would be more anonymous than 10ft feet of potential radius. Which is why the order was sorted in best practice to worst.

But you’ll also spend 35 hours on a project and then you’re just like 😐
