YouTube API is an absolute joke. Reached the goddamn quota limit while integrating live chat and streaming. Pathetic.

Literally gave me like 6 API calls before rate limiting me.

About to scrap this integration.

Yo! I finally got the beta version of my app pretty stable.

It's a collaborative streaming platform for gamers and developers with restreaming capabilities. You can use webrtc or rtmps. And stream with multiple users. If you setup twitch or youtube integration, it restreams to those platforms server-side.

Its still in beta but I would love to get some eyes on the existing features and any bugs! 😬

Let me know if I'm missing any categories in channel creation!

I also made a Discord server to help streamers collab!

Note: merged youtube chat is still a bit broken. I'm working on a fix.

Yesterday I had a user reachout via email because his account became inaccessible when he updated it.

This was something I didn't realize could happen... so it was fun recreating this scenario locally.

Basically he somehow bypassed the lowercase requirement for the updateUsername endpoint. So in the DB, his name was uppercase. And the SQL query was searching for his exact username without doing LIKE (by design).

It was failing on that getProfile endpoint and showing a Whoops screen. 😬 Should be a 404 screen, I know. I'm working on it.

Since then, I added Sentry logging to the backend and frontend.

And this showed me there were endpoints still being triggered nightly to remove stale data. (I forgot to remove). And these endpoints were getting 401's. I'm thinking who TF is triggering these endpoints. I soon realized those specific endpoints needed keys that expired monthly. 🤦‍♂️

😏 Beavers love refactoring.

What kind of side projects are you guys building?

Anything opensource?

Scammers are finally testing other content.

I don't recommend testing that QR code. Idk what it does.

I triggered the Ruby on Rails community on Reddit because I called it a dead language.

Pretty hilarious.

Nothing is more cringe.

Adding a restream feature to mage.stream

Free.

Lol. this.

Funny memes

Never seen a URL like this. 🤔

Mannn. I get the most botted responses on upwork now.

Describe your recent experience with webRTC and RTMP:

Applicant: <gives a definition of webRTC and RTMP>

🤦‍♂️

In this case, AI made things worse.

I added an auto-translate-to-english feature to my streaming app https://mage.stream.

Gona add an option to select language later. 😁

Oh shit! The navy? Better click on that link. Oh wait....

Kind of curious what "neovaginal" means tho.

There's a guy in standup that just yells his update in an Indian accent.

He's not even Indian. 💀

Its too funny, I can't even feel offended.

"GOOD MORNING EVERYONE YESTERDAY I CHECKED THE STATUS AND RESOLVED THE DEFECT"

Does anyone else get these messages?

Lmao totally me.

Yummers

Just posted another tech related tiktok and youtube short.

I honestly enjoy creating tech content just as much as I enjoy coding.

Yooo wtf is up with the Linus Tech allegations.

Absolute bonkers.

"we don't use typescript, it adds more complexity"

If only I had the motivation

Lol. a BS in CS is BS.

Me: Posts job on upwork

Freelancer: messages my MySpace profile from 20 years ago.

🫥

😂 What a joke

Super secret coding hack:

Hire someone on upwork to do it for you.

Hire another person to see if it can be improved or done better.

Learn by example from experts.

Not hotdog.

Glad I got a screenshot. Going to turn it into an NFT or something. 🤷‍♂️

I absolutely love working with devs smarter than me. It's so rewarding.

Of course I want them to grow and move forward but I can't help but hoard their talent lmfao.

Dammit. If only yall knew the geniuses I work with. 🥹
