Comments by "WolfPhoenix" (@WolfPhoenix0) on "Fireship" channel.

  1. This video is exactly why Jeff is my favorite Tech YouTuber. He doesn't just discuss estoeric tech that most of us will probably never use. He also discusses what's going in the world, how that relates to software development and does so in such a hilarious way. Also, the Metaverse is a textbook example of the sunk cost fallacy.

  2. Friendship ended with Node and Deno. Now Bun is my best friend! 😂 Seriously, this explanation was REALLY good. Bun sounds amazing!
    1100
  3. I always knew if I was lazy and waited long enough that Fireship would teach me about design patterns. 😂 Truly the best source for simplifying complex concepts.
    596
  4. This is the first non-AI video we've had in what feels like months! I hope we get Chef and Puppet videos too.
    572
  5. I know Fireship wanted to make this video an obvious April Fool's joke. But he could've easily been more subtle to the point where people would probably have believed it. 😂
    509
  6. Jeff: "You don't really hear about Web3 anymore." Me: "Thank goodness! I got tired of the constant marketing hype. 😂"
    339
  7. I did some CUDA programming assignments for my college Parallel Computing class. That course was the second hardest CS course I've ever taken (The hardest one is Compilers but that's in its own league). Human brains really weren't designed to think in parallel.
    259
  8. These front-end JS frameworks make me SO thankful I'm not a front-end developer. I can't imagine having to deal with a new JS framework coming out like every year.
    151
  9. Some of these truly speak to my soul as a software engineer (especially the "upgrading legacy app" and "one small change" scenarios) I've also encountered a variation of the last one where the issue I'm facing does have a Stack Overflow post but that post has NO answers. I can't tell you how many times I've run into that one. 😂
    145
  10. I didn't think you'd include the hiring freeze part at the end. Fireship always makes the funniest tech videos! The lesson here is to practice your tech interview skills only AFTER you've confirmed that the company isn't in a hiring freeze. 😂
    144
  11. Legit never knew Silicon Valley had its own bank until now. With the current economic climate, it was destined to fail though. 😂
    143
  12. Fireship is like that mad scientist you see in the movies. Always busy with one experiment after another. 😂
    131
  13. Being able to auto-create documentation from code is a HUGE win considering there's so much terrible documentation out there. Also, FIreship won't be obsolete until it can create tech videos with memes that make fun of JavaScript frameworks. 😂
    120
  14. Speaking of AI, I discovered a Chrome extension called "YouTube Digest" (or "YouTube ChatGPT summarization" in Firefox) that uses ChatGPT to summarize a YouTube video into very nice bullet points by analyzing the video's transcript. It did pretty well on this video but got a bit confused with the Tailwind CSS joke. 😂
    100
  15. There's a famous saying among software engineers which says "There are only two hard things in Computer Science: cache invalidation and naming things." The Twitter engineers certainly ran into the latter with those extremely long and verbose names. 😂
    89
  16. Just based on Jeff's video, Elixir looks like an improved version of Ruby with additional features plus bytecode compilation. Pretty cool to finally see Elixir since I hear about it all the time in job postings.
    86
  17. Capitalism's arch-nemesis has entered the zone. 😂
    75
  18. So these 100-second videos are now becoming ads themselves? Fireship has truly embraced his inner AI persona. 😂
    70
  19. I can't believe Jeff has covered so many topics that he's now entering the rabbit hole of messaging queues (pun fully intended) At least it's not another JS framework. 😂
    57
  20. The curse of rushed Friday deployments.
    54
  21. Why can't someone just create a JS framework that does all of this for us? This is what we really need! 😂
    52
  22. I'm amazed that the creators of OpenAI didn't consider this possibility. It's like the classic AI manipulation tactic in movies!
    44
  23. Congrats on the number 1 ranking! You absolutely deserve it 100%.
    43
  24. Never thought I'd hear the words "Piracy is not theft" from Fireship but here we are. 😂
    38
  25. This is the very first time I've ever seen Fireship covering anything related to video games. Also, Steam Deck is a legendary gaming system for emulators.
    38
  26. Wow, Solid looks like everything React should have been from the very beginning. I do wonder what the catch is though. There's always a drawback. 😂
    37
  27. JetBrains IDEs are easily THE best IDE tools. I've been using them for years in work and have always been satisfied. Interestingly enough, I've never used their refactoring feature though.
    35
  28. Fireship: "It looks so similar to another language I won't name." Also Fireship: "Here's a law that mentions that very language." 🤣
    33
  29. Glad to see Jeff back! Never thought I'd see the resurgence of AI news in this manner. The scariest part is that we may never learn the truth. There's so many rumors that even if one of them was true, we probably wouldn't believe it.
    32
  30. This just looks like adding more complexity because you have to define all of the steps for CoPilot Workspace. It's probably faster just to do the coding yourself. At least CoPilot just helped you with whatever task you were stuck on. That's way simpler than the above.
    31
  31. I always love it when Fireship makes videos on topics I will never ever care about (except HTMX because I do want to learn more about that). 🤣
    30
  32. Every time I see a code report on JS, I'm eternally thankful I don't work on JS. 😂
    27
  33. I really hope that AI is used to speed up localizing video games, especially ones in multiple languages. Now that's a terrific application! Also, I love the daily code report videos but Fireship should probably take a breather at some point. 😂
    23
  34. You know Fireship has made it as a YouTuber when 1/3rd of his video is a sponsor ad. 😂
    20
  35. Looks like we'll be getting a "MySQL in 100 seconds" video in the near future as well. 😂 Hoping we get a "Neon in 100 seconds" video too since it looks interesting.
    20
  36. Speaking as someone who learned Java, I actually do recommend beginners to learn it early on because it's so pervasive. But try your best not to work professionally as a Java developer. It's usually not a fun experience. If nothing else, learning Java will help you learn other programming languages and you'll appreciate the "less verbose" ones a lot more. 😂
    18
  37. I've missed hearing Fireship's hot takes. This one was especially spicy! 😂 VR always seemed massively overhyped to me.
    16
  38. Can you imagine building boilerplate code using voice commands? That's next-gen tech right there! 😂 Also, I absolutely love these AI Code Reports. Keep them up!
    16
  39. Fireship: "None of these companies are going to be firing their top engineers." Twitter: "Hold my beer, Fireship." 😂
    15
  40. When does Jeff find time to research all of these AI businesses? I've never even heard of most of these. 😂 Also, I kinda want to see ChatGPT write a movie script just to see if it's any good.
    11
  41. Please make more of these AI update videos. I really enjoy the content wrapped in Fireship's sarcastic tone. 😂 Also, the word "proompter" still makes me laugh so hard. 🤣
    11
  42. This is me but with Twitter. Literally the very definition of echo chamber. Most of my Reddit interactions have actually been pretty positive but I only use it when searching questions on Google.
    11
  43. I'm loving all of these non-AI videos from Fireship. Keep it up!
    10
  44. We're truly in the golden Fireship era!
    10
  45. Don't you know that PHP is the poor man's language? What do you think the first P stands for? 🤣 Also, I'm happy to see Ruby still going strong!
    9
  46. In my first software engineering job, I got to work a bit with Cassandra. Pretty interesting stuff but very complex for someone who just graduated college and only knew relational DBs.
    8
  47. Jeff: "JavaScript, an embarrassing toy language used exclusively to build things it's not supposed to" Me: "Now, THIS is my kind of Fireship video. 😂" Also, Jeff will only be cancelled if he makes a "JavaScript for the Lovers" video. Now that's one I definitely don't want to watch!
    8
  48. If anything, AI will be WAY more helpful than humans when it comes to HR stuff. Like maybe people could actually get a raise when they present a good case. 😂
    8
  49. Wouldn't the third step have been acquiring OpenAI to get a massive lead on the AI race? 😂 Also, get ready to see a TON of broken Python code in Excel spreadsheets in like a year's time. 🤣
    8
  50. Why doesn't Fireship just ask ChatGPT to come up with its own programming humor jokes? I'm sure it was trained on a giant Reddit dataset.
    7
  51. I use Reddit to help answer questions when playing Tears of the Kingdom and now I can't see the answers. 😢 Seriously, Reddit is my go-to place for Q&A because it's often quite helpful. Now I may have to find another place.
    7
  52. This is the one of the most interesting tech that Fireship has made a video on in like months. His videos are so much better when they don't involve AI.
    7
  53.  @ShpanMan  Probably cause it's still free while you have to pay for GPT 4.
    7
  54. The lesson here is to NEVER trust benchmarks that come from corporations. They'll do anything to get ahead of their rivals. 😂
    7
  55. The most useful thing I got out of this video is that Java is still "an absolute dumpster fire for beginners". 😂 Also, Jeff somehow forgot to mention MATLAB.
    7
  56.  @Syndiate__  Mostly to save time on watching very long videos that I happen to be interested in.
    6
  57. Not surprised that GPT-4 is dominating right now. Google is also known pretty well for shutting down projects. So yeah, GPT-4 all the way!
    6
  58. But how do we exit Neovim?! 😂 Also, +1 for the One Dark theme mention. It's absolutely fantastic!
    6
  59. Yes, finally Fireship makes a 100-second video on the best web framework (Fireship's words but also mine)! 😂
    6
  60. I've never heard of Terry or TempleOS before so I learned something new today. Thanks, Jeff.
    5
  61. The lesson here is that you can always count on DHH to stir the pot. 😂 Can't wait to see how many apps break because the most popular libraries no longer have TS.
    5
  62. Slow down there! Let's not get too ahead out of ourselves. 😂
    5
  63. I would love to know how Jeff even learned about this. Does he just have a giant network of PhD friends?
    5
  64. I love Fireship's use of "Untraceable Cryptocurrency". 🤣
    4
  65. I'm all for giving OpenAI some competition. Anything to stop them from becoming an AI monopoly. Maybe if they're fighting among themselves, developers won't be out of a job anytime soon.
    3
  66. I'm so happy Jeff named Rails as the best framework. I've been working with it for years and it truly is the GOAT! I feel like people only bash it because they wish they were working with Rails instead of whatever framework they're using. 😂
    3
  67. The moment I saw "Web 5" in the title, my mind went to that "guy laughing while he gets in gold car" meme. It's SO appropriate here! Honestly, the only value from this episode of the code report is give us all a good laugh. 😂
    3
  68. This is a great video for scaring off potential programmers with the "too many choices" problem. 😂 Definitely not for beginners.
    3
  69. Why would you use SST over Terraform though? There's a good idea for a future video: SST vs. Terraform. 😂
    3
  70. Is anyone else getting tired of the AI videos? It'd be nice if Fireship covered other tech topics again like the 100 seconds videos.
    3
  71. You're right. Watch it on 2x speed for maximum efficiency. 😂
    3
  72. Not gonna lie. I'd much rather go through the painful experience that is Fortran than ever write a single line of Lisp. 😂 I just can't stand all of those parentheses.
    3
  73. Jeff's jokes are the absolute funniest ever. My favorite one was how he edited over the word "victims". 😂 We REALLY need a collaboration between Jeff and Coffeezilla.
    3
  74. This looks amazing for a React developer! I wonder if you can import an existing React project into it.
    2
  75. I've gotten to the point where just HEARING Jeff talk about various JS tools gives me PTSD. 😢 So glad I don't have to think about this stuff. 😂
    2
  76. FIreship is on his way to becoming the real-life Charles Xavier. 😂 The scariest part is that all of this done using JavaScript. 😳
    2
  77. It's going to be hilarious when Apple bans Fireship's developer account because of this video. 😂 Loving the non-AI video trends though. Keep it up!
    2
  78. LMAO The ending had me bawling. D-Link truly won't have any customers left after this. 😂 Never change, Fireship. Never change.
    2
  79. Spring certainly makes working with Java better but I would never consider it "fun". 😂
    2
  80. Not AI again. Fireship is gradually becoming a one-trick pony. 😂
    2
  81. I always knew we'd regress from microservices back to monoliths. It was only a matter of time! 😂 Also, I've long thought that serverless was more expensive than the alternative. Someone's gotta pay for all the convenience, right?
    2
  82. This code report made me NEVER want to work with timezones in JS. 😂 At least all databases (that I know of) store times in UTC.
    2
  83. AI is getting more and more cringe with each upgrade. 🤣 Also, multiple people have resigned from OpenAI this week. 😬
    2
  84. I wouldn't want to be the developer who works on SvelteKit projects with all those repetitive file names. 😂 That sounds like it'd be a nightmare to debug issues.
    1
  85. Never thought I'd see Fireship create an Anti-AI video after all of the Pro-AI videos he did. 😂 Also, AI is 100% marketing overhyped.
    1
  86. I'm always suspicious of "free" products. If something is free, there's usually a not-so-good reason for it. Not saying there can't be good ones but like anything else in life, do your research first.
    1
  87. Next thing you know, they'll create a ship out of fire. 😂
    1
  88. As long as it's not all AI, I'm good with this.
    1
  89. Thank goodness YouTube and Tw!tter were still working today or things would've been really bad. 😂
    1
  90. These AI videos are getting more boring each time. 😂
    1
  91. Tech debt can definitely be a nightmare if it's not handled. You pretty much need to incorporate fixing the most crucial/largest tech debt issues in conjunction with your usual work in order to maintain a semblance of sanity. PMs will (almost) never include tech debt in a sprint so it's your job as the engineer to convince them to do so. My favorite tech debt tasks are the ones where you get to remove files. I feel like those have the biggest payoff.
    1
  92. I'm just waiting for the day when a third major political party called the AI Party rises up and wins a U.S. election. Now that will be a sight to see. 😂
    1
  93. Jeff picks the most random topics for his videos. You can never guess them! 😂
    1
  94. I'm not sure why anyone would use Fleet over one of the very successful JetBrains IDEs instead. Even if all I need is a text editor, I can just use Sublime Text. Also, I strongly disagree with Jeff. I think JetBrains IDEs have a very nice look but I could never get used to VSCode's appearance.
    1
  95. The best part about this is that Fireship's streak of AI videos will finally come to an end. 😂 Also, I'm super grateful that I didn't pay for ChatGPT Plus.
    1
  96. This is a wild story. I can't wait for the sequel when we find out the mastermind's identity. I'm loving these non-AI videos though. Keep it up, Fireship!
    1
  97. Fireship was SO close to breaking the AI streak with these past few videos. Why, Fireship, Why?! 😂
    1
  98. Now THIS is the kind of juicy tech news I want to hear about on this channel. Not AI or the upteenth JavaScript framework. 😂
    1
  99. This reminds me of that Spider-Man doppleganger meme but with WordPress. 😂
    1
  100. I have no idea what Fireship talked about in this video but he made it look awesome. 😂
    1
  101. Someone needs to ask ChatGPT what the easiest way to create a React app is. 😂 So happy I don't work with React (or JS in general).
    1
  102. Honestly kinda tired of hearing about AI at this point. Just waiting until Fireship can use AI to churn out daily videos that aren't about AI. 😂
    1
  103. I think the majority of his audience figured this out five videos ago. 😂 But yes, lots of videos (mostly about AI) is definitely sus.
    1
  104. I always knew that Jeff would teach me Machine Learning if I waited long enough. 😂 Sadly, even with the 100-second format, this video was still pretty tough to understand.
    1
  105. Not the Arby's! You know a bug is really bad when it starts messing with our food supply. 😂
    1
  106. I am SO tired of hearing about AI in every single video. Massive AI fatigue is real! 😂
    1
  107. Yes, please continue the 100 second videos. They're FAR more insightful than the AI ones (though maybe not as funny)
    1
  108. I did a quick search through Jeff's videos and we have NOT had a video specifically covering Ruby on Rails. Guess that'll be the next video. 😂
    1
  109.  @cchutney348  LOL Where's the flip side in that? It sounds like you're getting the worst of both worlds.
    1
  110. Fireship's jokes are getting more morbid with each video. Also, I wonder when the day will come when AI replaces game journalists.
    1
  111. I was expecting Jeff to provide us with an April Fool's joke today but all he gave us were straight FACTS. 😂
    1
  112. Why did you make this, Jeff? Dear God, why?! 😂
    1
  113. This is karma for OpenAI pay-walling their best AI tech at $200/month. Like, seriously? It's always a great day when capitalism takes a huge L.
    1
  114. I really wonder how many of Fireship's viewers skip watching his AI videos. I'm honestly only watching for his jokes. Stopped caring about the content ages ago. 😂
    1
  115. Fireship should honestly quit working in the tech industry and become a motivational speaker. He'd make SO much more money! 😂
    1
  116. Sam essentially saying that transparency is not his highest priority tells you all you need to know. Truly ClosedAI. 😂
    1
  117. When I saw Fireship refuting allegations, I thought they were going to be about how every single one of his videos nowadays is about AI. 😂 Good to see AI getting more sentient though. Keep it up, humans!
    1
  118. I'm waiting for Fireship to predict how long OpenAI has before it goes bankrupt from its excessive spending/losing customers.
    1
  119. Kinda wonder if Jeff actually remembers what it's like to create non-AI videos anymore. 😂
    1
  120. Since when did JetBrains kill Java with Kotlin? Java's so ingrained in the tech world that it will (unfortunately) never die. 😂
    1
  121. Slow tech news day for Fireship, I guess. 😂
    1
  122. We're all in agreement that Fireship needs to be the second test subject, right? 😂 Also, this is like one of those sci-fi games/movies where the bad guy implants his consciousness into an AI chip. I fully expect Elon to do this 100%. 🤣
    1
  123. I've started caring less and less about Fireship's video topics these days. Are they just getting more boring or am I simply uncultured? 😂
    1
  124. I'm so happy to see Ruby on Rails still be the #1 web framework. As it should be!
    1
  125. I've gotten to the point where Jeff's daily AI reporting actually puts me to sleep. 😂 Like its a cool story bro but that's really all it is.
    1
  126. Fireship has officially become a front-end news channel. 😂 Also, videos like these make me SO thankful that I'm not a front-end developer. It's just too much!
    1
  127. I just want Kingdom Hearts games to move from Epic Games to Steam.
    1
  128. I find AI tools (specifically GitHub Copilot) extremely useful when writing tests. It's able to analyze my code and suggest the exact tests I want to write, which saves me a lot of time. In particular, I make this easy for the AI to do by structuring my code (and maybe a few of my initial tests) in a predicable manner so the AI knows what test output I want. Seriously, there's a recurring pattern I've noticed where writing the tests takes longer than actually building out the feature (although sometimes it's 50/50) but AI speeds this up SO much. You just have to work together with the AI tool instead of against it.
    1
  129. Seems like Jeff rushed this one. There's a few mistakes in the presentation part but the coding part is good. If Jeff starts doing an entire DS & A series, that's going to be a VERY long arc.
    1
  130. Never change, Fireship. Never change. 😂
    1
  131. I thought someone made a new programming language named "Unreal". 😂 Didn't realize it was referring to Unreal Engine. You got me, Jeff!
    1
  132. Just wanted to let Fireship know that I LOLed at the picture he chose for "ACID". 🤣
    1
  133. The word "proompting" makes me giggle SO much. It just sounds so funny. 😂 Excellent masterclass though, Fireship. That AI job posting (particularly the "no tech background" part) is seriously scary though!
    1
  134. Listening to Fireship's voice at 2x speed really does make it sound like he has an AI voice.
    1
  135. Yes, we're finally back to the 100 seconds videos. Good riddance to the AI videos (at least for now)! 😂
    1
  136. The greatest lesson I learned here is to always listen to Jeff for stock advice. 😂 Seriously though, this was one of your best videos yet!
    1
  137. "Nothing says [you] don't have a life like a GitHub flex". That's SO true and something I've always thought! 🤣 Can't believe Fireship got connections to Elon now. Next thing you'll know, he will be buying a Tesla.
    1
  138. Fireship never misses with the jokes. The one at 1:30 had me laughing so hard! 😂 On the positive side, most local Windows machines (hopefully) never installed CrowdStrike.
    1
  139. Systems programmers always seem to have the most "complex-looking" programming languages. C, C++, Go, Rust and now Zig. You really have to actually work in that domain in order to make sense of the language.
    1
  140. Out of all these "frameworks", Svelte, Solid and maybe Vue look like the best to work with from a developer happiness perspective. If I ever became a front-end developer, I'd definitely look for jobs in those technologies for sure.
    1
  141. Very impressive! I never knew about the stat command and h flag for ls. The PS1 environment variable always made me laugh when I was starting out with Linux. 😂
    1
  142. JS Frameworks, Everywhere! 😂
    1
  143. All I got from this is that the Cloud is a balancing act of pain vs. money. 😂
    1
  144. This isn't what I meant when I said that I wanted to see non-AI videos. 😂
    1
