A bigger flex, is when my dad started a company, he decided to use C++ but hated the standard library so much that he made a memory safe/ garbage collecting version to then use for their actual development.
We had a guy who was the low-level library guru for the company. We rolled all our own libraries. No C++ standard library for anything. So, naturally, we had to have our own optimized string comparison function. Fast forward to a year later when an obscure bug starts causing string comparisons to match with the wrong arguments. You ask for one thing by name, and you get something else. Since this was in code I was working on, I had to try to fix it. The thing I realized was that the two strings that were incorrectly matching were always 16 bytes long. So, I decided to look into our string comparison code. And that's where the bug was. Some edge case or an off-by-one error. I forgot what it was. For that day, I was the guru.

I might be the first person in the company to interact with people from the production lines as an engineer. Normally there is a clear non communication attitude between engineers and the rest. Production people are working so relaxed, daily meetings are chill, problems are fixed in a relaxed way, nobody blames or flexes on each other, it is a fun environment. They are joking around, always playing music, more chatting with each other and socilizing. Engineering on the other hand, is very quiet and serious. People take their work very seriously. They mostly interact with each other on-a-need basis or meetings. How their managers are gonna react is always taken into account when doing something. The hierarchy is obvious, no matter how 'flat' the hierarchy it is. You are always being judged on how productive you are, story points, meeting the deadlines, going beyond your responsibilities is considered a standard and positive point. Saying this is not my job is a negative point. If you are gonna object to something, you need to choose your attitude and words really carefully. This was a huge culture shock for an intern who started in production then switched to product owner after her studies are finished. I guess that is the price for a some more salary and a relatively more job security.
It's not true though, i.e impostor / superiority syndrome. I've been at the game for +-16yrs. I really don't care what anyone thinks about my code. Even if a junior catches a bug I missed, great! We need all the eyes we can get on a problem! If someone senior... same thing. If they show me a tool I wasn't aware of, great! Learning never ends! And I treat juniors with just the same respect as I treat seniors because "senior" is just a function of time. The juniors have the same level of ability to learn as me and will soon catch up so I can't brag about being further from being junior than them... it's dumb.
I think if you are BS'ing thru meetings the label "senior" no longer applies. My view is that as a senior what you are being counted on to do is provide guidance. You've seen trends, you have been on different projects and used technologies and processes... all of which should help you in meetings, to say "guys, that's a bad idea... because ....". I actually never appreciated the value of experience until I was experienced and saw the difference between how I see problems from a mile away compared to a junior who can't. The reason I can see so far is because "been there, done that"! It really isn't because I am smarter, I just have memories a junior has not yet had a chance to acquire. @@ThaJay
@@AlternativPerspectiv No need to get offended, that's pretty much what I meant. Words from experience, not wasting time on writing well prepared reports.
When you code as simply your job and it's not tied to who you are - that is the ultimate flex because you then remove coding as any important part of any comparison as a person or personality.

A possible flex even better than that: Just skip the meetings because you know you can't be fired.
He also missed the assembly language flex
I didn’t know that was a thing but I can picture it haha. So awful

The reality is that the spider was highly venomous and bit him and that moment is his life flashing before his eyes as his remaining moments of mortality slip away.
Sometimes you have to wonder "Am I even good enough to have imposter syndrome?"
"I wish I were good enough to have imposter syndrome!" I love it!
Imposter Syndrome Inception 🤯
no, you're not.
I'm saying to myself that I don't have impostor syndrome because if I do then it means that I'm better than what I think so I'm having a superiority complex

I worked for a company where everything was buried under 10 layers of abstraction... you shouldn't go through 10 controllers to find some crud functions for a form. The egos of the people who created this mess was off the charts.

Bigger flex: open a terminal in a split pane within vim running within a terminal within VS Code that has the vim extension installed. It's like a factory for your factory factory. Tom would be so proud.

Rest in peace Terry. Greatest programmer of all time
I wish he would've taken his meds. There's a tragic beauty in how such great works come from such troubled people, and it almost makes me feel guilty that such beauty can only come from great suffering.
Indeed, Terry Crews was the best programmer of all time. Especially with Tim Pool OS changing the industry.

This video is just TOO GOOD. I've seen it like 4 times now. Keep up with the hilarious informative videos, Jeff!
This is your best video yet. I've never laughed off my ass this hard.
The only flex that matters is who first figures out why the website is broken.
One of the best videos on this channel. Made my day honestly 😂💙

Haha this is awesome take on the nature of people. Literally laughed out loud at the last spider flex punch line 😂
Great stuff.
I died laughing at this, and I love how LowLevelLearning made an appearance. You guys are awesome, good stuff!
So do Primeagen and debatably Terry Davis as well.
Never forget to flex on others with all those domains you own for projects you never finish 😂
wow this video was actually deeper than i thought it would be, this is so profound. i honestly needed this ngl.

"Those who can't code become influencers" -this is the main reason why there's so many tutorial videos covering only basic stuff, like literally stuff that can be found on documentation. Many devs will consume tech documentation over the weekend and create content for that, and becomes "influencer".
it's funny that you think they actually read the documentation themselves in the first place before they made a video about it
@@luckerooni7628 "whats a man page?"
Totally agree 👍
Sadly, this is why for example, when i needed to set up an API, half of the videos i saw (mostly from big channels) just gave error, or only helped to return a simple 200 code.
Like the premium Medium articles that Medium won't let you read where you can just google the title to get to the source where they copied from...
the biggest existential crisis is when you realize at the end of the day, they are just flexing a few extra green pixels representing how a few billion electrons are charged

My only regret is that I don’t know enough people in my life who know how perfectly hilarious this is.😂😂😂
Thank you for everything you do!
Better say "I don't know any people to flex"😐
because mostly programers found this found and understand

How can this guy consistently make such great videos, fast and freaking awesome! 👏🏻
He learned to use the power of AI. 🤓
That's his flex.

I am not a programmer and I barely understand 30% of what you say, especially when you dive into the code jargon but damn it's entertaining to watch your videos! I could watch for hours!

I might be the first person in the company to interact with people from the production lines as an engineer. Normally there is a clear non communication attitude between engineers and the rest.
Production people are working so relaxed, daily meetings are chill, problems are fixed in a relaxed way, nobody blames or flexes on each other, it is a fun environment. They are joking around, always playing music, more chatting with each other and socilizing.
Engineering on the other hand, is very quiet and serious. People take their work very seriously. They mostly interact with each other on-a-need basis or meetings. How their managers are gonna react is always taken into account when doing something. The hierarchy is obvious, no matter how 'flat' the hierarchy it is. You are always being judged on how productive you are, story points, meeting the deadlines, going beyond your responsibilities is considered a standard and positive point. Saying this is not my job is a negative point. If you are gonna object to something, you need to choose your attitude and words really carefully.
This was a huge culture shock for an intern who started in production then switched to product owner after her studies are finished.
I guess that is the price for a some more salary and a relatively more job security.
That might be okay if the engineering team actually was productive. The wording of your comment makes that... let's say... hmmm... unlikely 🙂
the real flex comparison is how fast your prime factorisation algorithm runs on python and what time complexity it has in big O notation
It's not true though, i.e impostor / superiority syndrome. I've been at the game for +-16yrs. I really don't care what anyone thinks about my code. Even if a junior catches a bug I missed, great! We need all the eyes we can get on a problem! If someone senior... same thing. If they show me a tool I wasn't aware of, great! Learning never ends! And I treat juniors with just the same respect as I treat seniors because "senior" is just a function of time. The juniors have the same level of ability to learn as me and will soon catch up so I can't brag about being further from being junior than them... it's dumb.
Being well adjusted and self-aware is such a great flex
The moment impostor syndrome means nothing to you and you bs yourself through every meeting without shame is when you have reached seniority.
I think if you are BS'ing thru meetings the label "senior" no longer applies. My view is that as a senior what you are being counted on to do is provide guidance. You've seen trends, you have been on different projects and used technologies and processes... all of which should help you in meetings, to say "guys, that's a bad idea... because ....".
I actually never appreciated the value of experience until I was experienced and saw the difference between how I see problems from a mile away compared to a junior who can't. The reason I can see so far is because "been there, done that"! It really isn't because I am smarter, I just have memories a junior has not yet had a chance to acquire.

Programmers constantly thinking about leaving everything behind and go farming, a never ending love story
Then there are those of who ask "Why don't we combine programming AND farming?"
Thank you fireship, it is because of you that I quit my faang tech job and because a farmer. Now I am truly happy.
That had to be the most realistic description of a programmer I have ever heard. Even the YT Premium had me like… yeaaah I flex that too.
When you code as simply your job and it's not tied to who you are - that is the ultimate flex because you then remove coding as any important part of any comparison as a person or personality.
ultimate flex: listen to every fireship video on 2x speed while muted and fully comprehend the topics discussed
0:52 So I've unlocked the third stage then: the limbo, don't know wth I'm doing mode.
Giving up on society and starting a farm is the ultimate flex. It's one of the things I most want to do whenever my Arch does something stupid and I have to fix it..

My favourite at the moment is the SystemVerilog Flex: "It's like programming, but all the lines get executed all the time, at the same time!"
Given the almost trivial example that miserably attempted to pass for "complex" at 6:15, We can be certain that this buffoon is certainly not a Haskell programmer. Truly Exhilarating! 🤣
This is why I like being a relative beginner.
You can always just say "Oh thanks, hadn't thought of that! Thanks for the help" while secretly getting people to write 60% of your code for you 😏

Truly a masterpiece of a video. The music at the start and the end match up, showing that everything--even this video--is simply a cycle of life and death, of flexing and being flexed upon. 10/10 would join the Amish again
1:20 This is exactly why the good coder has to remove 470 lines of code.
This was the smoothest sponsorship ever

I thought devs flex with "display: flex;".
More like "flex: 1 1 100%;"
"I use arch btw" 😂 using linux is definitely a flex (as it should be)
1:01 You're not going to credit Terry Davis for that quote?

When you realize that flexing as a programmer is the same as flexing that you have a terrible social life.
5:35 This is actually just what Mental Outlaw is doing right now. Every programmer wants to make the opposite life decisions and return to nature.
Dude is barely even a programmer as far as I'm concerned, yet he still manages to pull the ultimate flex. He's too powerful.
