bold of them to say it’s within 5 years. probably more like 6 months.
building websites on GeoCities. I had one that had “haxing tools” and how to use them. the different phreaking boxes and how to make them. etc.
around the same time I was war driving phone numbers and telnetting into whatever I connected to.
I found an unprotected early porn site with questionable content. I deleted their entire server.
I stopped doing it when I accidentally connected to a state police server.
skip forward a few years and I was on Napster, Limewire, a couple others I can’t remember now.
skip forward a few more years and I was hosting my own online forums and websites.
few more years I was hosting VPN’d LAN’s for Xbox tournaments between friends when we couldn’t get together(this was long before xlink kai). the lag was terrible sometimes, but made for some epic kills.
now I’m a full stack software developer and get paid to build and break shit.
that’s The Dentist. He’ll sneak into your home while you’re taking a nice quiet poop and forces his fingers into your mouth to make sure you’re flossing.
if he finds out you’re not, he scrapes your gums until they bleed and tells you about the dangers of gingivitis while soft-rock from the 70s and 80s mysteriously plays somewhere in your house.
when he leaves he gives you a toothbrush and toothpaste in a weird flavor (like shrekin green apple or black panther licorice) and leaves a trail of floss containers in the shape of molars.
whatever you do, don’t tell him you do floss. he’ll call you a liar and cut your gums open with his razor sharp floss and then force you to rinse with 1000 proof mouthwash.
here’s a novel idea…how about no AI in a phone?
I didn’t need one in 1999. I didn’t need one in 2012. I didn’t need one in 2024.
I don’t need one now.
I will NEVER need AI built into my phone.
short attention spans with zero integrity when it comes to mistreating or abusing their viewers. the majority of successful vtubers are toxic and corrosive socialites that simply want to be at the front of attention, striving to be the “top influencer”.
this kind of cancer only bled into development because they are both positions that rely on advanced technology.
now you have devs that treat their jobs like influencers do and “swoop in to save the day” only to fuck you when they moved on to greener pastures.
I’ve personally seen it happen at least 3 times in five years.
anyone who claims themselves as a “rockstar”, “forward thinker”, “innovator” or “disruptor” is a horrible developer and needs to go away. we don’t want you.
if they can’t explain to me why their shitty changes increased memory consumption by 25% they’re not a dev, they’re a script kiddie.
that said, greenhorns need apply. you’re ok but don’t get cocky. watch and learn. asking questions is good, don’t share your opinions unless you know enough that you can defend them. and don’t get bent out of shape when someone tells you your idea isn’t going to work.
