When we teach other people something we take on a responsibility. I know responsibility is not a popular word these days but it’s true. We are responsible to make sure our material is of solid quality. I personally feel nowhere close to the great honor of providing knowledge despite many years of study.

Sure I could perhaps share some selected things but I feel that is too great burden to act as an authority. Of course life isn’t perfect and sometimes we must rely on less than ideal material hastily to meet the demands placed upon us or even unfortunately we find ourselves in the position of a teacher prematurely. We should strive to reduce amount of bad habits and spaghetti code made by beginners who take in dubious courses.

If we want to live in a world of readable and maintainable code we shouldn’t produce antithesis of such as ‘guides’

I see I struck some nerve here, calm down and just evaluate yourself if what you post has any value. Do you feel confident about your skills?

As I said previously. Do not attempt to teach or guide in any field you have no idea about. Sorry you feel attacked by my post but I have slightly better things to be doing than placating harmed egos on the web.

Well if you don’t know what constitutes good code and what constitutes bad code practices and don’t see how much crap is on the web, not even compilable sometimes, then you probably are among the very people who should refrain from teaching others and/or cease sharing your ‘valuable knowledge’

In fact, I insist you to do so

All these code gurus with code quality of chatgpt 🤢 yet fancy lighting setups and VFX intros. Still, sometimes you can find a real gem in the wild on some humble but informative website.

If you don’t have necessary experience and are pretending to be an expert sharing your ‘knowledge’ on the web… You should stop.

So only good tutorials/ guides are allowed from people that know what they are doing and aren’t just Sunday programmers and everyone else should stop littering the internet?

Yes.

but you do not think we should bully those who just try to make ad money on teaching things they don’t know a frick about do you?

We absolutely should.

How dare you?

You can’t even search the entirety of reddit from browser bar if you aren’t using google search engine 💀 iirc that was actually the jolt that made me spent 10k on entrenching in apple ecosystem within a week at the time and to this day I cannot force myself to install google maps so when I want to find something using phone I end up struggling with browser version and broken css like a moron. Moreover some sites plainly just don’t work on anything that isn’t chromium

When I used to be interested in hardware I would buy it with half of the top of the line money, the rest invest it in some fund and then buy an upgrade in two years with that investment. Or at least that used to be the case when GPU and all the components had a tendency to become a fancy vintage museums after 2 years. You would be laughed at if you said something about future proofing.

I miss that.
