Rossman may not be selling under such shady circumstances, but this is how most of these machines are moved. I don't think any good comes out of selling these machines.

Some alternatives:

Rossman always presents himself as the ultimate victim. Apple has it out for him, NY has it out for him, people less successful than him have it out for him. When you've watched as much of his content as I have, you start to see where his head is, and it's not a pretty place. Anyway, I have found other repair guys that are better than Rossman and don't have so much negativity on their channels. I can get a deeper understanding of repairing tech without the hyperbolic commentary.

That's the first paragraph on the About page. Landing pages have multiple purposes and need to address different types of viewers, not just the neckbeards. The marketing speak is likely more for convincing IT manages this is a legit project and does not have common "deal breakers".

I think there are 2 things going on with Tesla… the first is similar to what I went through and the second is simply jealous have-nots. You can criticize something you don’t prefer, but once you cross the line and harass/threaten, you’ve officially become a piece of shit.

I'm also the kind of person that goes straight to the 2-3 star reviews. I want to know the issues and determine if it's just sour grapes (damaged on delivery) or something I should be concerned about. When I was browsing step up converters, I found some amazing reviews at the 2* levels... like engineers that picked the product apart and determined they were wired wrong and might be a fire hazard. Sadly these types of reviews get buried and often ignored by the worthless deluge of 5* reviews.

These things are built like tanks. I don't think I'll ever have to do any repairs on them.

I had no idea what I was buying when I spent $4 for 2 disgustingly dirty keyboards back when I was 15. I've taken good care of both of them for nearly 30 years and they both still look new.

I've tried some more recent high-end mechanical keyboards, but I ended up giving them to my son. I just like the feel of the Model M more and I can type significantly more accurately with it. My Model M has no issues working with a ps/2 to usb adapter, so one is my daily driver and the other I connect to my KVM for my older PCs. I don't have any connection issues or latencies and they are fine for gaming. I do miss some of the media controls, but I mostly resolved that by using an external audio device.

I'm not really a purest with this stuff, I have lots of newer keyboards including current apple hardware, but I go back to this keyboard for my PCs because I really enjoy using it. I'm not against swapping it out, I've just not been compelled to yet.

It's amazing FANG companies have any turnover based on that logic. Turnover happens for a variety of reasons... like global pandemics... you can't make a blanket statement like that and expect to be taken seriously.

Turnover is a reality that can't be ignored. New people come in and now have to figure out something that reads like a stream of conscience. It isn't well documented, doesn't follow the latest best practices and doesn't support modern paradigms and uses outdated frameworks/libs, but works great.

The apps I build always take into consideration the talent pool my employer intends to pull from. The reality is that they (usually) can't hire general "technologists" that are proficient at all layers of the stack. If the project is something that only you will ever work on, then you can do whatever you want and this whole conversation is moot.

I personally ran mission critical node services that interfaced with over 100,000 simultaneous compute nodes in AWS.

Also, in the military very little is optional. This vaccine is optional, so it's a unique opportunity to say no.

Those things are all hard if you want to master them, but not everyone needs to be a master. I can draw, get great joy out of it and benefit from it without being Rembrandt. I can use vector math to make games and not dedicate my life to mathematics. This is also true for programming.

You really don't need to be smart to be a programmer, but if you want to be good at it you need to be smart enough and tenacious. Programming is just a tool to solve problems in the modern world.

The book "The Outliers" was what gave me the confidence that I was smart enough to be a programmer and achieve great things. All it took was a positive mental adjustment. This article is rubbish.
