The Reddit Protest Is Finally Over. Reddit Won.

Reply in thread

So many people said this whole situation wouldn't end Reddit, like the end of Reddit would be some big huge sudden bang when the apps turned off.

They couldn't seem to grasp the idea that it could be the end of the Reddit we knew with a huge injection of new users to potential replacements. Only time will tell.

Recs for leveling up?

Sounds boring but just doing it more. I find it hard to learn by copying someone as I can't easily identify the tiny body changes. But trying a problem over and over and trying new things you can learn what works and what doesn't.

Also asking friends or strangers how they did something can very helpful. I find climbers are very happy to share advice when asked (but usually won't offer as that can be considered rude).

As for strength, I guess it's very different muscles. It will help when your fingers, forearms and technique are better I'm sure :)

Some history lesson

Does Bill Gates count as a tech bro as he's the only exception I can think of.

To succeed in tech I guess you have to have some ego, but they really do seem to be overwhelmingly children about everything.

The Reddit app-pocalyse is here: Apollo, Sync, and BaconReader go dark | Many major third-party apps are finally shutting down.

Yeah it's super weird. Either they did want to kill 3rd party apps and not admit it, and thought it would go down better than it did. Might have been okay if they didn't go after the Apollo dev.

Or they really underestimated how much people would pay to use reddit/emotional investment for the 3rd party app devs. And genuinely thought some apps would do it within 1 month.

I guess the former, but like just admit it rather than bullshit people. At least then you would get some respect for honesty
