there is no hobby project to make bros... everything has been written... literally no point to do anything, there's a better version of everything you will ever try programming in the software world

Make something useful and charge money for it.
"Oh, yeah, I made the 50,000th clone of twitter, please give me a job :DDD"
Make a search engine that doesn't suck
google has the best search engine you can ever imagine, nobody can compete vs theirs infrastructure
the problem is they censor and make it shit deliberately
Google could do better
exclude all blogspam for one.
exclude AI content not explicitly specified as such.
blogs are a good thing moron, the problem is the flooding of blog hosting sites by pajeets and roasties
if(blogSpam)
{
displayResult = false;
}
Google is so moronic
dude i literally make posts to manipulate it. are you kidding?
not saying other search engines dont get hit by similar things, but
>google has the best search engine you can ever imagine
Are you an LLM posting here?
morons having a hard time reading the second sentence
yeah they choose to make my shitty shit PBN articles matter, right? great business decision lol
wonder what sites have the most of goodle adsense ads
sperg forums or these shitty blogs filled with keywords? you really think you are smarter in making buisness than google? they know what they are doing
>google has the best search engine you can ever imagine
then why was it better 10 years ago?
Wrong. Google is unusable trash today. Almost every other search engine works better than google.
I've had the best experience on google so far. What do you use?
Google is fine if you already know what you're looking for and/or it has nothing to do with politics. A few weeks ago in bed I randomly wondered if there was a noise for stomach rumbles. First result answered my question, they're called "borborygmos", which made this MtG character suddenly make more sense.
Google has gotten noticeably worse over the past few years for me, sad.
Of course they do. I'm reasonably certain some of their proprietary software was originally a DARPA project. Maybe the webcrawlers or something.
That's not even close to true, most existing software is one size fits all.
You could do better with a MongoDB, a web scraper, and a Local AI model.
You can help someone else.
There's plenty to do.
the GNOME and KDE desktops have plenty of work to do
not even remotely true
luckily I have an interest in quantitative finance and crypto where *nothing* is publically available because everyone keeps their IP closely gaurded
wut
are you slow?
Im saying there is so much to be done in the field Im interested in that my problem is not having enough time to do it all
>because everyone keeps their IP closely gaurded
are you moronic or esl maxxing?
IP means intellectual property you knuckle dragging moron
>saying IP for intellectual property
this is a technology board
make games
its supposed to be that ideas are cheap, making them happen is hard
you should have *too many* ideas and not enough time
if you cant come up ideas, Im sorry to break it to you but you were never going to make it to begin with and you should try making toy code monkey stuff relevant to a specialty
ive never had a single idea in my life
okay so just accept that youre a peon and start making toy projects that have been done 100000x before to pad a resume
how do you get ideas? do you sit and think?
from the moment you gain sentience ideas just come to you from the ether
if this is not something thats familiar to you and youre not just baiting, I literally cant help you
it would be like describing color to a blind man
i think i will hold you at gunpoint and steal your ideas.
wait a second... did i just have an idea???
LSD
Only if you're not moronic in the first place
nah i considered this but people here said the game dev industry is shit and you shouldn't consider it unless you have a real passion for videogames
op asked for a hobby project not career advice
making a game is the quintessential hobby project for a developer
write a platform where people would be able to contribute to open source software not only with code (design, seo, marketing, etc.)
>Le daily demoralization thread brought to you by bots
Ok Black person
OP, contribute to LMDE 6, help make it the most user-friendly and functional OS of all time
I can think of like 40 projects I have on my to-do list that no one has bothered to make. If you can't think of any, then you probably don't use computers enough to identify things you need created.
Share some of that wisdom with us, pretty please.
>everything has been written
if it's a hobby, who fricking cares
Write a grep clone. You know just rewrite all the coreutils in rust. To let those rust homosexuals know how good you are, make your shit faster than theirs.
Make a titty simulator with hardcore jiggle physics and lactation. There should be sliders for the settings. You want a really realistic relationship with gravity and anatomy. Use soft-body physics, 3d models, whatever it takes. Realistically would be awesome to where you can move the light source. And if you're up for it, various bras which you can put on and off; realistic fabrics have been done before. There is probably a way to add beads of sweat too.
After that, some of anon can make an ass simulator which shoots poopy.
Fricking help put PhysX5 into unreal. Brickadia is the only game to achieve it afaik.
I concur, Mr. Coomer, OP needs to get on this project yesterday.
>everything has been written
This isn't even remotely true.
It does feel like that a lot. I think we just suck though. I used to make more stuff, have better ideas, now my imagination is fried. Too many worries, too many disappointments.
I've been in webdev since 2007 and I'm the only homosexual who didn't make any money from it, and I mean it. I must have make less than 30k in total, lol, and believe me the skills are there but I really suck at life.
That shit is brutal. Will rip the soul out of anyone.
The issue with you fricks is that you write utilities for others to gain wealth instead of writing utilities for yourself. What do YOU need. When you’re sitting on a computer do you ever find points of frustration or inefficiency and think “that can be streamlined,” or do you just say “that sucks.” Find places where you think your computing experience is lacking, or find a function that you could make good use of, and turn that into a software tool.
Even if it already exists.
Do you need a calendar app? Don’t download one, write one. That way you can get fine grained control over what it does, how it functions, and what functionality it has. Maybe you want your calendar published on an RSS feed for others to read, that’s something you can put in your calendar app.
Stop trying to make “the next big thing” and just make things.
I am so used to moving around problems. Half the shit in my room is broken/needs batteries tech.
Does a handyman become handy by sitting around, dreaming about the perfect house to build?
No. He starts out by sawing down that one table leg that is too long, or securing down any loose nails he can find. Small things that are useful/helpful to him in his personal life.
Handymen don’t become handy by helping others, they become handy by helping themselves.
I'm not OP but I agree with the message. But is it really more efficient to solve a "problem" that's not a problem?
It is when those efficiency gaps are all filled up. You will find a point where you are happy with your work, and you can use it happily for a long time to come.
I don't feel joy from finishing things.
now that's a philosophical/spiritual/psychiatric problem beyond this conversation
I need this as well friends. Give me ideas to build
>there's a better version of everything you will ever try
this is simply not true. most software is shit, or outdated
Untrue. However I have no start up money to make my product.
What helps me is to take a more experimental approach. I've been learning WebGL. Yesterday I learned how to draw 4 sided shapes. Today I plan to refactor my code because I found out I'm calling functions where I don't need to and then get a shape to move around, and if there's time get the shape to rotate. Just messing around basically, there's no long term goal but if I get good enough then maybe a bigger project will unveil itself.
I said it in the other thread already but i will say it again:
Gayboislavenpcmindset
No idea what to build? Npc
EVERYTHING has been built and bettter than you could ever do yourself? Gayboi defeatist
Even if you cant think of anything, just do something that exists, as practice (dont use a tutorial)
Most successful companies are built on ideas that already existed. Stop gaming and ferking off gaeboi
I've honestly not found a good software for tagging music files. Besides, as advancements are made, there will be more opportunities to write new interesting software. I hope you can find something fulfilling to do.
for manual taggers there are things like kid3 and others. If you want automatic tagging you can use Beets
IQfy be like
>there is no hobby project to make bros... everything has been written... literally no point to do anything, there's a better version of everything you will ever try programming in the software world
>but also all software is gay and sucks and it's all bad and I spend all day complaining about it
Choose one or the other, morons.
Also sad that they don't have confidence in themselves to make good software. Sure in many fields you're competing with big fellas, but there's niches and other areas where the bar is lower, and improvements are welcome.
So you mean I should start creating my gimp competitor?
Image editing software is one of these areas where the bar is higher. But hell, if you'd like to, no one is stopping you.
Try a project involving a good frogpost you green piece of shit
i have an idea you can write. it's an OS called TouchGrassOS. basically its a linux distro that has a program that points other linux users to local parks and public meeting places so they can talk in person to each other and share files that way. and also physically touch the grass around them.
Is there a script to filter frogpost threads?
There is, open-source Active Directory with the same functionality Microsoft currently support. And no FreeIPA sucks donkey dick compared to Active Directory.
No, the opposite is true. There is a lot of software for everything, that doesn't fricking work right and all have some deal-breaker, plus its bloated and complicated to set up. If you want something decent, have to make it yourself.
>bloated, high setup
Straight up. Would be awesome if someone just made light versions of basic software. Like what about an OBS that just screen captures with the tradeoff of it being very soft on the CPUs. Pretty much every photoshop needs an ms paint. Same is true for videogames. Like a bitesize version of dota 2/lol which a beginner can pick up intuitively.
I can't because I'm a moron, but maybe OP is smart enough.
I totally agree. The value of lightweight, fast software cannot be understated.
But for something like OBS or PS, would take a skilled C programmer that understands the work being done.
You can make faster software, with little skill by just avoiding unnecessary crap even though you're coding in JS/python and interfacing with SQlite or something like that.
>what is simplescreenrecorder
there are many mspaint alternatives too
lol, two worst examples you could give
unironically true, which is why i started writing malicious software
it's a peaceful life
what type fren? ransomware? stealers?

Tox 2.0 (with web client)
>generate user id
>share a link to chat via webclient (no sign up needed)
>media/file transfers and links disabled for unverified users
tox, since its decentralized leaks your IP, which is not safe. But not doing that requires a semi-central hub.
You could flash a big warning to use a VPN? I do see the problem though. You'd need to host the cloak though.
Generate your own album with Udio. That's how I spent my weekend.
Automate literally any repetitive process in your life.
psst, create goonOS, tailored for gooning
Gooners need to start a political rights movement at this point.
Here's a real, honest approach that will improve the world: do something that has been done, but do it with a tenth of the system load/CPU usage/memory footprint.
I challenge you to do the opposite. Something so cliche and useless and that has zero market value. For example, a number incrementer. You press a shiny button and the number goes up by one. You can set the increment value from 100 to -100. One day, it will be a reddit post or make an appearance in a vsauce video.
nobody has invented anything ever
its always taking ideas from others and improving on them
sometimes you get lucky and you get all the credit
yep, gone through most of the general cs curriculum from a blend of self study and taking uni courses. After 5 years I'm now done with studying this field, at least from a programming centered approach, the only stuff I've built purely for myself have been a few automation scripts and some TUI stuff for fun, I don't 'need' any software that I can build myself and I don't really get enjoyment from programming, I get enjoyment from studying things like operating systems, algorithms and networking.
Don't know what to put my interest in next, maybe drawing. But /ic/ manages to be even more toxic than this place.
>where can I build my interests up in a non-toxic way?
>I know IQfy!
bruh we're buttholes here
right but reddit is even worse, so what else is there? I wouldn't even mind paying money but any course stuff I bought online around programming ended up feeling like a total grift.
I've been trying to just stick to wikis but then you're not interacting with anyone which isn't as fun.
llm's don't interest me much. Similar to people obsessing over webdev tools I just don't get what they're seeing. Llm's seem useful in fields like dentistry and other areas to assist human analysis or give a person a direct computed guess from a tremendous amount of data but the whole gold rush culture around putting a chatbot or "ai assisted" tool everywhere just reminds me of when everyone were hiring chaos mathematicians because it was the new hip thing that would fix everything but it bore limited fruit in the end.
It's not just LLMs, images and video too. Or an AI that learns to play a game, whatever. AI has infinite application, if something can be repeatable it can be trainable.
>llm
yes sorry, was just gonna say I got the term mixed up. Just meant machine learning and neural networks.
Given neural networks are algorithms seems like an obtuse distinction. So I'll call BS on your claim.
bs on what claim? I just don't like using AI to describe this stuff because intelligence isn't a very universally well defined word
>obtuse distinction
AI is a gold rush and there's lots of room to learn, experiment and make wacky shit and conceptually they're simple (so easy to get into) but you can scale to insane shit. And the best part, there's lots of breakthroughs every day, so you can be the first to implement new, ground breaking research.
