a rant on the programmers' mindset

I don't want to code shit to level up my ego. I don't want to solve complex math/abstract problems to allow another abstract thingy to do abstract thingies to "improve my workflow". I don't want to be the most efficient possible, to get the biggest numbers in whatever. I don't want to spend 3-5 years of my life doing useless refactoring, coding, thingy with thingies, optimize whatever so it takes 1% less ram.

When I started doing computer sciences it was to do cool shit on my screen. To create games, tell stories with cool interactive thingies, do awesome graphic designs, connect with random anon people on the internet (like right now, you reading this ! :)) ...

It's not the reality I wished for. The industry's norm is to be the best programmer possible, not the most creative. To use complex tools to get an excuse for your salary, to keep the imposter's syndrom away. Simple games made with tic80 or löve that you can find on itch or newsground are more creative than most complex AAA games made with big ass engines like unreal or unity. Most webpages on the indie/small web made with dead ass html/css/js/php have more personality than commercial/big public pages made with [insert yet another framework] trying to sell you whatever and keep you engaged ...

In the end, people trying to do cool shit (with or without programming experience) accepting than their code sucks get things done, while pro devs do readable, well tested code, but they forget the original cool shit ...

I don't want to think about best practices when I try to code something. I want to think about how to get the intended result.

Maybe it's this focus on the idea than a programmer must know complex things and be super efficient over being creative that got shit like AI so much hyper hyped. Like, yeah, a glorified autocmplete can sure do all the abstract things when you don't care about the graphical result. But the purpose of frameworks is literally to do the abstract thingies while you focus on the actual things you want to do. Tough I can't know, I don't use AI.

There's also licenses. Why the fuck do we need to put one in every repo and get stressed over legal shit. Like, I get they're important, but no one's going to mind if you stole a miku png and put it in your personal website. And no, it's not because you allow people to send stuff without an account/email on a website than it means there's going to be insane illegal shit transiting over there. Why the fuck is this stupid idea so much deeply nested in the west's internet culture ??? The internet is literally a big anonymous network, and it's not an email adress that's going to keep bots and shit away ...

And about frameworks. Their purpose is to get stuff done. It's not with 50 standards and features so complex you need 2 weeks to get it that I'm going to get stuff done. They're really usefull, but like, fuck, they're so much commercially hyped and getting useless when you need 6h to read their beginner's tuto...

And social medias. They're like a filter over the internet that keep people from the actual internet. How the fuck did we got to this. The worst is that when you check this shit not only you lose time on bullshit, but you even get influenced. Does people doesn't realize than it's super ez to influence others on the internet ? And today it's not even human posts most of the time, just automated AI posts trying to set public's opinion to something something abount things where few people actually care. The most terrifying is that it works lol They're definitely not all like that, but it sucks than most big social medias are not that social anymore ...

Fuck the internet
