terry was truly brilliant, he was smart and got things done, which are great qualities for a programmer, however, I can't imagine him being good in a team, I feel like his code is made to be understood only by him and god

I will always remember Luke Smith as the perfect example of what happens when you fall for every single /g/ meme at once, without carefully analyzing them first. He owns four ThinkPads at least. While I see nothing wrong with them in themselves, as they are admittedly pretty good value for the price, four is just mindless consumerism, contradictory to his "philosophy". He started using every single shitty pseudominimalist, ncurses-based program, used a shitty riced out i3 setup of dubious actual productivity (like all tiling wms), then fell for the full Suckless meme and went in even deeper. Then he started making videos shitting on Python and praising C, which is ironic considering he is not even a programmer by his own admission. He effectively spent years trying out, configuring and hopelessly trying to integrate tens of meme programs to build what is, combined, effectively a shittier Emacs, just like most of /g/ was doing in their "productive" desktop threads a year or two ago. Then he read the Unabomber manifesto and blindly accepted it without constructively analyzing it first, same with the anarcho-primitivist ideology that was all the rage about a year and a half ago on 4chan and 8ch. While he stated on his website that he "didn't browse 4chan much anymore" it was obvious this wasn't the case.Then he went and took the memes way too far, and unironically went to live in isolation. While I see nothing wrong in itself, the actual reason he did it is massive cringe. He has the mentality of someone 10 years younger than he is, yet he acts like a literal boomer jokingly criticizing "zoomers" despite he himself being the worst example of a millennial. He attacks "nerds" when it's painfully obvious he's deeply unhappy with himself, as it was obviously self-directed criticism thinly veiled as an edgy dabbing video. He is a perfect example of someone you should avoid becoming at all costs.

Luke Smith is the embodiment of the Dunning Krueger effect. He's a Language arts PHD dropout that decided to just copy the most successful Linux YouTuber at the time (Mental Outlaw) but Luke's technical competence is so low he makes several mistakes whenever he rips off one of Kenny's videos. When people called him out on this Luke started grasping for ways to stand out from being another Mental Outlaw clone.

1st Luke started shilling credit cards, he even disabled all crypto payments on his POD bookstore because Kenny hates the debt based financial system.

2nd Luke took an anti-gaming stance because Kenny occasionally plays vidya with his gf.

3rd Luke took an anti phone and anti gun position because Kenny carries both as part of his EDC

4th, Luke stopped making his videos in the woods because Kenny took over his family farm and made a couple videos about it. Luke just can't stand living in Kenny's shadow.

5th, Luke became anti restaurant because Kenny works with local restaurants to get organic food scraps for his animals and sells the meat and eggs back to the restaurant

And the most hilarious LARP of all is Luke pretending to be a Christian so he could enhance his E-begging and associate himself with Terry Davis despite desktop ricing being his greatness programming accomplishment.

Also image having a job as a college professor, where more than half of it is done by some researcher or tutor and quitting it for being some sort of "based" luddite who spend all his day in a cornfield. While there's nothing wrong with learning a trade(I do it too), farming is LITERALLY the hardest job available out there, maybe it's cool when you're 30, but try to do it when you will be 60 years old and your knees and your back start hurting after just one hour of work.

just imagine this. you wake up on a beautiful morning to a notification that your paypal account was suspended. why is this? because paypal says that: 'coins and collectables [including stamp collecting] are against policy.' so what do you do? you spend the next fucking 2 years on a replacement. your language of choice is C++ -- something notoriously unforgiving -- and your IDE environment is the unpretentious visual studio (on windows no loss.)

what you want to create is the simplest possible database that would work for money: an append-only queue that could be shared securely even between total strangers. there ought to be only 'one' version of the queue. one truth. and you definitely do not want to trust any one computer for such truth since it may lie about data. so you come up with an ingenious solution: a lengthy computation will serve as a write mutex and all nodes will choose the version of the queue with the most computation.

you sign your stamp collecting project under the alias: satoshi nakamoto. the best programmer who ever lived. today satoshis project powers thousands of companies, hosts millions of users, and satoshi will never have to worry about his stamps being seized again. this is his legacy.

I mean, I'd say the same about Mental Outlaw. His OpenWRT video was my awakening to how much of a one trick pony he is.

>*looks it up on AlternativeTo*
>here's a open source thing

>*reads pros and cons from ChatGPT*
>now here's how to do the open source thing
>*doesn't show the open source thing in action*
I had the misfortune of dealing with OpenWRT and it's a toy project not worth a shit. I'll take closed source firmware that works over open source firmware that doesn't any time.

Well, there's those videos and him reading FOSS news articles which I assume most people watch him for. But fuck me if he doesn't check all the Dunning-Kruger FOSSbro checkboxes that Luke does.

it works good, although, sometimes when I try to save configs, it'll frees, and I need to reset my whole router. Very annoying.

what issues does it pose for you?
>>
>>103227830
The aforementioned "can't handle config management" and forgetting how to do VLAN separated SSID's after an upgrade. I gave up on trying to rock it as a second AP after that, and thankfully RouterOS v7.13 happened, so now I don't even need one.
