Kinesis Advantage 360: bit.ly/Prime-K...
Hey I am sponsored by Turso, an edge database. I think they are pretty neet. Give them a try for free and if you want you can get a decent amount off (the free tier is the best (better than planetscale or any other))

Prime is catfishing everyone, he takes off the moustache as soon as the stream ends
But this is for our benefit, not his.
I bet the hoodie is removable too
@@colewyant4271 Nah m8.. stfu... i believe the removable mustache but the hoodie? Come on, don't be ridiculous.
I bet his real name isn't even Primeagen
I bet he has two glass eyes.
Moral of the story is to put effort into the backstories for your D&D characters, especially if they are supposed to be speakers at your tech conference.
I’m now understanding better why lawyers always advise to refrain from writing a rebuttal.
And doubling-down lol
Time for Eduards to pivot full time to web 3.0, because there's no freaking way anyone else is gonna let him live this down
Should be an easy transition since he's close with a woman that worked at Coinbase.
Never gonna dream this up
Never gonna live this down
It would certainly be an environment more akin to his methods
The dude digging his heels in with his "Hollywood Principle" strategy which deliberately filters out people he doesn't want... priceless.
The other funny thing is Hollywood is not even ethical
… unlike call to paper, where he can also select the paper (and the speaker) he likes ?
One of the best uses of git blame I've ever seen...
The artificial demand for diversity and female programmers is so powerful that they are now spawning out of thin air.
Alas, someone speaks real truth.
The thing is, there's a ton of women developers out there, many who have been in the game for decades. Maybe they don't want to talk, or have permission from their companies to talk, but using the "Hollywood Principle", surely its the host's job to reach out and convince them?
@@TomNook. The vast majority of developers are men, it is only natural that the speakers would be representative of that.
I think you mean outta hallucinated data
my need for a female programmer is quite real, thank you.
You know it's a scam when he says "i will not scam you"
I'm here from the government to help you
he literally did "gjt commit fraud"
Fell for one of the world's oldest blunders, there are no women on the internet
No matter what your guessing this video is actually about, you're wrong. Its wild.
Actually knew about the topic beforehand and thought no way that Prime picked this up as well. :D There is even things Prime did not look at, it goes further
@@ml210993 there's even more to this? Can you please briefly explain what else happened, sounds interesting
cat is hooked, show me the laser red dot, so i can get after it
I almost didn't watch it until I read your comment, thanks for that. Had a great laugh
catfished
That response is a master class on doubling down. Absolutely zero aubstance, zero integrity, and zero remorse.
Typical DEI bulshitters
Please start wearing sunglasses and start calling yourself Dr. DevRespect
Please just let prime be prime
@@ClowdyHowdy I DevRespect that
I'm not sure I'd be able to tell them apart if he did that
This whole thing I was expecting Eduards to not be real and actually someone else with a persona to do the fraud.
Plot twist: It's actually a Slavic 12/10 woman behind the fake Eduard.
_"DUDE, this was RANDOMLY GENERATED MOCK DATA, get over it already"_
_"it made websites, linkedin and instagram accounts?"_
The guy's definitely not a junior dev, his placeholders are top notch.
Am I the only one that caught the name Alina Prokhoda (pro coder). If you're gonna scam people at least make it less obvious 😂
Damn, that's hilarious if he did it on purpose.
Another take on that last name : 'prokhoda' is part of commonly known phrase 'prokhoda nie dayot' (which translates to 'very popular'). 'nie dayot' translates to the depths we do not want to dive into here
@@handyman787 quite sure that says "way is not given" or in other words "you shall not pass"
This is like when people lie on their resume taken to a new level
So just business as usual?
Well, I''m going to have to add references Anna and the other imaginary devs at Coinbase to my references now....
when you're so concerned about being perceived as 'not caring about diversity' and 'not being inclusive' that you deceive all of your conference attendees and participants
I saw this yesterday on Linkedin when Scott Hanselman (not a MS MVP but an actual VP from MS) posted about it.
I haven't finished the video yet, but my main takeaway thus far is that I need to play more car soccer
Edit: that did not go at all the way I thought it would, but I still stand by my original comment
car soccer, best soccer
Rocket soccer cars?
ROCKET LEG !
@@ci6516damn, I'll take a rocket keg, thanks. That sounds amazing and like I'll become either a handicapped Iron Man, or Soujorn from Overwatch.
There's something really insidious about how Sizovs refers to these women as his ladies. Might just be a language barrier, but it feels extremely degrading to literally invent women rather than hire any, or be clear about the reasons you couldn't book any.
There's thousands of things you could've done. Why not go to a local university and and book some students? There are absolutely students who would kill for that kind of opportunity, paid or not.
No, this is absolutely a deliberate deception.
If specific science field has 90% men and 10% women _(numbers are made up for this example)_ , and his goal is to have 50% men and 50% women, he would have an obvious problem.
He would have to either sacrifice quality of the presentations, or fake the participants (or admit that inclusivity isn't about 50/50 split, but that's bad for business nowadays).
Lets say he absolutely needs a black transsexual for diversity purposes, and the entire university doesn't have one, what can he possibly do?
@@rlidwkabut his goal wasn’t to hit 50%. The reason conferences want to have groups that are minorities within the space is because it encouraged people from those groups to attend when they feel like they’re represented
Exactly. "two of our ladies dropped out". "our ladies". that sentence wears a fedora
I wonder why women don't show up?
“I wrote a test for it”
With generative AI, I can see where this is going... shits gonna get weirder
I wish there was someone making more fake AI hot guys … alas, my new life’s purpose
Hubby-fus for women 💪 /s
@@3_smh_3why did you choose to say this
Imagine a male software engineer who runs a hot tech startup, follows a skin care regimen, regularly exercises but not so much that it takes away from time with the family, and who is emotionally present when you just need to vent about your problems (and doesn't feel the need to "solve" the problems like he would try to solve a leetcode interview question.)
Well this has been fun, but I've got a conference to organize.
@@anon_y_mousse haha yes I am , but this picture is dated because I’m lazy and my other UA-cam channel has a fake blue nonbinary being avatar so when I post about AI and data science, people assume I know my stuff
"His botness"?
Nice investigative work by everyone involved in uncovering this scam! That was very entertaining for me to watch, thank you! 😂
"He cat fished for marketing!" LOL!
"Don't commit fraudagen" I immediately thought of Charles Barkley on Inside the NBA telling America "If you're going to do crime, don't do it with checks" 😂
15:00 chat gippity
lol DevTernity is the Fyre Festival of tech conferences
thats wild. what are iladies?
Nobody noticed he was doing it for years because nobody wanted to see the female speakers enough to notice they didn't exist before this year...
Oooo hot take right here…
If you are going to the conference, unless you know about the topics of discussion, you only care about presenters you are already familiar with. As long as you don't know them, you wouldn't care if they are present or not. These speakers doesn't exist so no one knows them to care about whether they are present or not. But if someone like Marissa Mayer was supposed to be in the conference but she wasn't, people probably would notice.
Wow, "a poor randon lady".
This is what a professor said at a presentation for a university, I don't remember the link
He was comparing old phone books to google search. Basically in a phone book you had person x with phone y and maybe an adres or business.
On google if you search for a name you get n results that says you are this and that person. He jokingly confronted hes wife asking when she was person y.
On another more problematic perspective, this year and the next year somehow is going to have elections in a lot of western countries. what I've seen is kinda scary. A lot of paid scammers, hackers, trolls, etc used DEEPFAKE to make videos regarding candidates.......at this point TV media kinda becomes a safer bet since they at least try(90% of the time) to verify the news before publishing it. Comparted to for example TikTok (don't ask me why people search for political or any information on that platform)
"It was not a quick fix" - it required changing few lines in yaml.
Well, if that's a hard thing for him - maybe this dude shouldn't be hosting tech conferences, or have to do anything with tech in general.
All the random ladies, all the random ladies, all the random ladies...Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Uncle bob's takes are mad:
"This Devternity affair smells a lot like Cancel Culture -- and it doesn't smell good to me."
"You know it’s cancel culture when they turn and come for you for noticing. Do your worst guys. Better than you have tried.
Meanwhile, next time you see something a bit off, common decency would suggest that you call first and give your victim the benefit of the doubt before you ruin him."
Going full boomer!
I’m not surprised. His book has some great considerations and principles, but his writing style is trash. Ironically, a bunch of chapters in his book start with some smug anecdote about someone he doesn’t like where he interprets something they said in an incredibly uncharitable manner lol.
The real marketing trick is that he got himself and the event on ThePrimeTime! ;)
Not gonna lie though, this is nowhere near as bad I was thinking it was gonna be.
I genuinely thought it was gonna be a like "Blizzard-Activision" kind of catfishing.
I learned from a CIA Black Ops that PRIME is actually a bio-female controlled by SkyNet.
She sticks on a fake beard and goes live to gather responses from programming enthusiasts, enhancing SkyNet's parameters in the programming domain.
This guy is "Inventing Anna"
"Why do this?"
I think it's pretty obvious: He wouldn't have gotten this much attention if he had used his real name
Masterclass in deflection. Doesn’t even address his username in the 2018 screenshots.
The stench of BS is strong on this one.
his mistake was choosing way too hot profile pictures for the fake profiles. This aint a marketing conference. Dunno why it didnt raise suspicion earlier. we are all degens
Holy sit I just realized THERE'S A FIRST CHANNEL, I literally indexed you in my mind as prime time since i got your content recommended lol
He lost the password of the main channel apparently.
Big brain Edwardo, he hustled them all
What's the "car rocket soccer game" 😂
This feminism/quota shit is harmful for everyone. It shows women as unreliable speakers. Too good I just ignore all those conferences
Bro is trying to thirst trap wannabe simp devs
Tom‘s a genius!
Eduardo is Einhorn, Einhorn is Eduardo - The Primeagen code detective
Thanks for the flowers. (I'm one of the maintainers of FakerJS)
Damn, I've just realized that I used one of the Sizovs libraries in my projects
Is it good? The man considered changing 5 lines of yaml to be difficult, so I'm not very hopeful.
@@chonkusdonkus It is awesome library.
🤯 blowing my mind… genius at the internet
I've always wanted to know your opinion on Domain-Driven Design, can we get a video about it? please? :D
Definitely. Reminds me of when I did standup comedy when I was younger. I was so tired of being referred to as “the woman” on the show and never getting to work with other women so I organized my city’s first all women show. It was a charity benefit for a DV shelter. Some of the men got pissed for “making them seem sexist” by creating something for women and blacklisted me from some shows, but got pissed if I turned them down when they needed me to perform on unpaid gigs and complained. Then they made an awful music video about how they were feminists and sexism is bad lmao. This feels like something those guys would do if they could.
This also has been worth an emergency call with tj 😎
A nerd at a DevCon: Where be the nines at? :D
The most annoying thing about this is that, because I am a huge unicorn fan I wanted to claim the username codingunicorn and it was taken by this person already.
I think Eduards' brain cache has exceeded. He only responds to a single allegation as if it is the only allegation presented.
This Anna seems very AI generated to me. I'm not even sure if the photo is of a real person. 29:42 above her right eyebrow there is something weird. The hair is weird. The ear is also weird. What is that white line going below the earring. What is this background. If this is a photo of a real person I do apologize, but I doubt it. Not a photo I believe anyone would choose for their conference appearence.
the idea that the chromosomes of the speakers at an event even matters at all is pretty dumb...
26.54 that reaction of prime 😆😆😆😆
Just tag the real people who were going to speak but dropped out. Their names are already out there and they were gonna speak publicly so tagging them on twitter cannot be a problem
If it's a placeholder, why not use lorem ipsum or something of the sort?
I love how you pronounce Gergely. Honestly, I don't even want to correct you cause its so funny 😃
Pissing myself at "make love not war, dead people"
4:25 - did it.
Glad I was sitting down for this
Smells like a sociopath...
Why does Prime always select texts by skipping the first and last characters?
Just.. Don't scam people? If it's for marketing, own tf up to it, admit your fault, move on (and try to win back trust by doing it right). This stuff really isn't that hard. more people need to learn not to respond to shit straight away (myself included) but sit, get through the first wave of emotions, think about it and then respond.
Today I learned what catfishing mean. Was a bit disappointed that the meaning is not more literal.
You'd probably be interested in the sport of "noodling." Enjoy!
you will always attract scams if everyone thinks you need a woman speaker to have a good conference. I do not feel bad for anyone, it is an idiotic situation
I got a good chuckle out of this one.
"a bug that turned out to be a feature", freaking cringe
Optimising for diversity is really messed up and sexist.
"Dont hate the player hate the game"
Teacher! Teaaaacher! Yeah I have a question, who the fuck uses their real name as their username on their computer?
Ppl over use the "My lifes work" thing :/
Often as a guilt trip/pity party
> it's just a button, just add it, it's that simple.
It may look simple to you, but it ain't actually that simple.
Sadly, it's modern capitalism.
+1 for Hollywood Principle (the band)
The summary being choose your computer's username carefully
We need to send this to @CoffeeZilla
So thaaats why they call it git blame?!
If the dude just admitted to using fake profiles to get traction and come clean, people probably would support him. This nonsense of "difficult to change" and say the "random" profile was instead human generated, it would go much better for him, especially if the conference is actually good and useful.
even if you are a lady, or you identify as a lady the correct word is craftsman because the Etymological meaning of man is person, so is neutral already.
the new argument is word changes and we can rewrite history if we want to and no one studies etymology
@@ea_naseer I mean, words do change though
I have a friend who is going to create a girl freelancer profile using his sister's info to get more freelancing gigs
Why?
@@ea_naseer to get more freelancing gigs
Talk about an ARG...
blazingly ethical 😹
Did not know that women are fake, thanks for heads up!
I'm calling rocket league car rocket soccer from now on
Prime plays rocket league? Big if true
i have played
@@ThePrimeTimeagen It is my favorite childrens game that is actually very hard.
Plot twist: Prime is the coding unicorn
ethics requires mind. but law doesnt. reckless endangerment doesnt need mens rea. but to say someone is guilty of something ethicly, then they would need to be aware of it.
advertising fraud is both illegal and unethical.
That's complete BS, there are probably close to a million female software engineers that work on really exciting things, he knew exactly what he was doing like any other crypto bro.
The Fire Festival… but for developers? lol
Only some female speakers (and the poster girl, Julia) were fake. Everyone else was legit
Now we know Prime's B-day.
How would this not be fraud?
와... 미국 판타스틱하네 ㅋㅋ
Prime, just because the dude does the media tour does not mean he thinks he is innocent. Did you forget SBF?
Sorry, Ana, if just cuz you’re a female AI, people are apologizing you’re not a “girl”. Sorry AI overlords. Signed, a “real girl”
what is real though
