I feel like a complete failure as well. Did not know would have needed an H1-B1 in order to be relevant.

What happens when you get "bored" of that job too? Regular people work jobs they do not like fire or not, they work SOUL CRUSHING jobs to make ends meet. Now as a rule I understand there's a mountain of context I'm missing but you're responsible for keeping that fire going. Good luck with the rest, doesn't really seem like you failed- besides the drop shipping thing which I totally understand that's a nightmare of anxiety and razor thin margins sold to you as a dream by the millions of other people doing it not showing their actual results with it. Hope this works out for you.

Not sure if I 100% dig the advice. I'm also a software dev, I started my own small business, and kept going on at it for almost 10 years. Before it started going good at about the ~8 year mark, it was pretty bad for several years though. The business got obliterated twice - blown out of the water because of mishaps. 3 years ago, after the second implosion, I was in my living room with my wife, parents and cousin, and they all told me to just drop it and reconsider. We were at the peak of the software bubble, salaries were sky-high, and my wife was pregnant. "You could just quit and go make twice as much with half the headaches. You're gonna be a dad." But I didn't quit. I knew that this new niche I was trying out could be the thing. And then the bubble bursted 1 year later, salaries went down, mass layoffs, etc. It didn't affect me, and the niche _DID_ work out. Like, FINALLY, dude. I'm now making good money (on par with software devs pre-crash), and I only work when I have work. Some weeks there is not much, so I work 25-30 hours and spend the rest with the kid and wife. Sometimes, quitting is not the best idea.

Title is misleading. You should change the title in: "I win a lottery ticket, twice".

it's pretty crazy how much framework hell there's been in JS and yet Firebase somehow completely disapeared (seemed solid too)

You managed to find a job in 2023 which is impressive

Software engineering faild you. Its coal mining job now and only blind ppl go with it.

What a loser, when I was 4 years old I sold my startup to IBM for 100 million USA dollars

Crystal!

Thanks for the video. I feel that perhaps the sound could have been louder. At the moment, it's not easy to understand you, or maybe my speakers are of bad quality. I don't know.

Now I am interested in talking to you. What's a good email

No truer words

I'm integrating another platform, I think I want to store the userId (number) from the other platform in here to reduce api and database calls. I have about 300 users right now, it increases by about 100 each year. Hope this fits the bill.

you move and look AI generated

Worked as an offshore dev team but we werent disfunctional 😅. But we Had 2-3 overlap hours with project managers. And we were 3 times as cheap 😂

Just to keep things fair 😉: 1. Utah, particularly the Salt Lake City area, often experiences poor air quality due to pollution and seasonal temperature inversions. 2. The arid climate can be challenging for those not accustomed to dry weather and can contribute to issues like drought and wildfires. 3. Utah has some of the strictest alcohol laws in the United States, which can be inconvenient for residents and visitors who enjoy alcoholic beverages. 4. Utah is often noted for its lack of cultural and ethnic diversity, which can make it feel less inclusive to some people. 5. Certain areas, especially around Salt Lake City, have a high cost of living, including expensive housing. 6. Compared to other states, Utah has fewer nightlife options, which can be a drawback for those who enjoy a vibrant nightlife scene. 7. The state has a predominantly conservative political climate, which may not align with the views of more liberal residents or visitors. 8. Due to its desert climate, Utah faces significant challenges with water scarcity, impacting agriculture, industry, and everyday life. 9. Utah, particularly the Wasatch Front, is at risk of significant earthquakes, which poses a potential threat to infrastructure and safety. 10. Public transportation options can be limited, particularly in more rural areas of the state.

Hi thanks for this. I need to know will this application recover photos from text message as well?

Your camera seems to cut out a few time at the start

So now we’re bootscrapping?

so relatable, thank you

Thank you

I know this video is going back a long way, but if your product is an iOS app with no server, then where do you place the server side code?

you lost me as soon as you said this is easy! seriously what happened to simple LAMP server hosting. This make this so complicated and 15 tools to dipolay a simple text replacement. Compiling sites before they have to diploy. this stuff is so much harder now. To update my site i upload a simple php file and its uploded from any computer in the world. Developers need to stop saying this stuff is easy. its inter connected and you have to bascially be a programming engineer to understnad half the things you said!

Thank you for sharing this Chris! You were one of the reasons I fell in love with Firebase and I'm so glad to see you making videos again!

never give up, never surrender. thanks for sharing

can you elaborate on what you mean regarding Firebase? Do you mean that you can't scale with Firebase, given the limitation of the technology? That no serious large company would accept it into production system?

I appreciate your sharing, really reminds me that it's all a roller coaster.

thanks for sharing

Left programming for 5 years only to come back and remember exactly why I left in the first place: Needlessly overcomplicated, convoluted and unorganized products and documentation that make your life a never ending nightmare.

HOW TO DO THIS ON REACT :(

The video content is so excellent, congratulations

I love you Man

How is that different from listening with the trigger onCreate for that node in cloud functions?

How can i store in firebase storage for only 1 day and then delete afterwards automatically

Video starts at 1:06

is that possible to host a php based website on firebase hosting.

how i can get dynamic subcollections without use the string name?

This was super useful, just what i was looking for.

Hello there, I am trying to make an ecommerce app with four different categories(bedsheets, computers, doormat sand products) and separate collections are created for each single category on firestore which share same field names. Now I want to implement search by product name operation from my home page but I only know how to implement search for single firestore collection. Please check and help me, I am new to flutter please explain in details and if possible edit code given below. Thank you.

Is that you Mark Zuckberg?
