Coder peeking head back in

[andy erotic]

Was a coder for an adult company long ago and peeking my head back in. I recognise some usernames, though no one would know me, I tended to keep myself off boards. It seems like very little has changed in the last 15 years or so! Still with TGP / tube scripts, scrapers to pull data from sites and tweet / repost it for affiliates etc.

The same dramas...and you still use NATS!

A lot has changed in the coding world really, with exciting changes that would essentially allow you to change your workflows without needing a coder to make the changes to some propriety system they made.

Currently bored, so I'm looking for any ideas for projects that I could code up - nothing really is too big!

Welcome to the forums. What is your programming language of choice?

Leveraging APIs would probably be a good area for you.

Hi, any language, really. Be it, PHP, python, C/C++, front-end or jsnode. What APIs do you have in mind?

No offense intended; but the fact that you are still calling yourself a "coder" instead of a "developer" might be why you are bored.

Most of the big affiliate offerings have them, e.g. Chaturbate.

[andy erotic]

What other APIs? There are threads here saying that chaturbate refs are going to shit because the performers are telling their cashcows to leave and then join under their ref.

Yes, that is what is happening, by all means, don't waste any time promoting chaturbate.

Trust me.

there are a lot of programmers here. why would you assume we don't know about the "exciting" changes? they just aren't needed for most applications.

the latest dev updates are only needed in chat/cams/vr, where old tech doesn't work well. we're not dinosaurs. we're just not excited about every shiny no-code toy. i personally try to keep my applications and code as minimal as possible.

welcome back tho!

If you could figure out how to stop this happening you'd please a lot of people -

 if($this->user->name == "DVTimes") {
  do
  {
    postShitOnGfy("all_day_long");
  } while(!$this->user->banned)
 }

re-open beerandbollocks or was it netpond?

[gar]

I wonder if anyone here use Docker. Blue-Green deployment, auto scaling etc.

Or anyone here using Git? Git push deploy?

You mean free, easily usable, easily maintainable software that allows the consumer to get the job done is not needed.but to instead, it's necessary to pay a coder for their time to reinvent the wheel? An affiliates 'job' is to consume an API and spit it out in a template. That's basic 101 API usage.

Code breaks all the time and needs constant updates.

I like how you feel you speak for 'we', you don't speak for me though. You mean mature toys that have been in development for nine years or longer and have proven themselves countless times in a range of sectors? I agree, making these packages seem like childish toys will alienate potential clients from using them to pay a coder for their time instead.

Exactly, clients should be conditioned to think minimal code is best code (even though it's more than likely that the job they want doing could be done on a calculator) and they should pay coders to think how best to get the code as minimal as possible, as 'efficient' as possible and as well-designed using current theories rather than just getting the mvp to market as quickly as possible and be able to manipulate it themselves allowing their mvp to develop with the market.

Cheers!

why would a coder pay a coder?

you said yourself that you haven't worked in this industry in a long time, so i am not including you in the "we" lol.

most of us in this industry are self-employed and "we" spend our days focused on making money. we don't upgrade our tools if they are working. we expand and do more projects.

welcome back! ssdd here.

Those that I've run into using docker have generally been pissed off about the fact their developer used docker. Some use git but it's mostly larger companies. Not many are using any form of auto scaling as that requires using a cloud based system like Amazon AWS, which if you run the numbers ends up costing 20x more then normal servers at which point you may as well just overbuild with normal servers. Most of the smaller companies and individual webmasters just edit on the fly using ftp.

I don't know about that, if you look through job listings most seem to expect you to be using Git / Github now.

Yeah I'm just going by observations from what i've seen of clients. Very few are using git.

i think the point is not many of us in adult, beyond MindGeek, are posting job listings or have 1000s of developers. i've only used Git when i worked on projects at large companies or large teams, which has only been a few times. i despise the corporate world.

i don't use Git for my own cms, although i do have a central [replicated] repository. its just not on Git. i built it myself, like everything else.
