Full of terrible advices, he never wrote anything significant (in scope and notoriety) during his time as a software engineer like many other prominent authors at the beginning of the agile era. The success is only the result of a wave of junior devs searching for some sort of guidance, something that there is a never-ending need for.
Horrible recommendations that produced a lot of code that is a pain to work on with the abundant amount of indirection it has. Really painful guys.
I've made it build a web scraper from scratch, figuring out the "API" of a website using a project from github in another language to get some hints, and while in the end everything was working, I've seen 100k+ tokens being sent too frequently for apparently simple requests, something feels off, it feels like there are quite a few opportunities to reduce token usage.
You cannot downvote because the comment is too old, the 2(lol) downvotes I got and that were cancelled by more upvotes came from those that replied to this shitty thread while it was still fresh.
No gaslighting man, I really don't care, I just don't like like reading what from my point of view looks like stuff that a kid would write. I'm an adult ffs. This BIG problem of the percentage if it's real (don't know, don't care) can be solved in 1/2 year.
As someone else said, the only problem is the lack of real positive role models (people who build, have ethic and do something useful with their lives), that have been replaced by pathetic characters like JP and other nobodies that only sell victimhood or get rick quick fantasies on the internet.
Feels like you watch too many of the wrong youtube influencers.
It's being overused where it has no reason to be, good and simple on paper, awful in the way many are using it. Most of the times, you don't need it.
This pattern has it's uses, but if you are using it everywhere, every time you have some sort of notifications because "it's easy" or whatever, you are likely doing it wrong and you will understand this at some point and it will not be pleasant.
Yeah, this is what I was referring to, not sure about the reputation but they are still popular, that's for sure.
