what the fuck do I work on? I've been sitting around doing nothing for months because I can't find a single project that I am actually capable of that isnt webdev.
embedded, it's the perfect place for brainlets like you >t. embedded dev
Oliver Wilson
This, its literally easier than webdev. Even assembly is easier.
Luke Russell
I know, it's perfect for brainlets who are so dumb they literally think they're too intelligent for web.
Nicholas Rivera
I guess, but what do you even do? I could compile some assembly and run it on bare metal on a Pi, but theres not going to be any output. What is a good project to start with?

either learn something or do webshit. finishing html course does not make you an OS developer
Nathaniel Nelson
ah yes, because clearly webshit is home to the most intelligent developers of our time.
Jaxson Watson
>html course where exactly did you get that from? I have a couple yrs full stack experience in webdev and got tired of all the js cancer
Nathaniel Johnson
>probably 80% of the smartest devs are working in some form of "webshitting" >distributed systems, realtime analytics, databases, networking >but you are too "smart" for it
>tfw too lazy for x That means programming languages won't do either. Hm, how do domain specific crap like sound/image processing sound, OP? For starters you could implement a software that does seam carving. It's cool, because you can start very basic with intermediate results and optimize your way up to realtime video seam carving that looks weird.
Jack Gonzalez
media processing is actually one of the things I've been looking into. I haven't come across any software capable of working with a decent amount of file formats, or doing it performantly. I'll look into seam carving, thanks.

Luke Gutierrez
It's impossible to be "too smart" for something. And if you're "too lazy" that's not something to bitch about to others.
Joshua Richardson
>tfw too smart Stopped reading
Gavin Harris
Of course it's possible. If you aren't learning new things or encountering new challenges, then you're wasting your time.
Charles Ramirez
learn AVR then switch to whatever mcu you think is neat.
Benjamin Fisher
>>tfw too unintelligent for machine learning Unpossible
Oliver Powell
>too smart for webshitting actual web development is actually extremely engaging and you are not "too smart" for it, rather it will make you feel like a retard >too lazy for OS development OS development is extremely lazy if you're doing it right >too unintelligent for machine learning you must be retarded then, its easy af.

when I say web development, I don't mean database design, or API architecture. I mean frontend/backend programming. That's where shit becomes painful and idiotic.
as for machine learning, if you're just using Keras or TensorFlow then sure it might be easy. I want to use something *and* understand it. Understanding what goes on behind the scenes in these frameworks is not easy.
Lincoln Lewis
Have you done a lot of this front/back-end programming? You'll find its a lot better once you stray away from the retards (better in the sense of it being more engaging, though if you are talking about the constant battle against stupid shit which some massive company is doing then I have bad news for you about the other options in the industry :c)
understanding why things work in machine learning is impossible to a degree actually and redundant, the virtue of not having to understand the entirety of the model and how it works is the virtue of abstraction.
Josiah Phillips
well, to be fair, the company I work at right now has a pretty large amount of legacy in Microsoft's stack. There's not much focus on bug fixes or anything. I think you could be right that webdev isn't so bad in some situations, but finding a situation like that isn't easy.
