dumping the DROP TABLE 10 because Apple probably does not protect against
[TS]
00:00:05

injection
[TS]
00:00:06
◼
►
Raquel take down the hall I do I do like I'm double metal or made an announcement
[TS]
00:00:13
◼
►
that was made i've i've heard that occasionally but it's it's much more
[TS]
00:00:18
◼
►
rare than you know the gift gift thing like that's like 50 51 made us know
[TS]
00:00:22
◼
►
sorry that's not a sound good
[TS]
00:00:25
◼
►
this reminds me of when I brought up the broth phase and neutral but I wrote my
[TS]
00:00:32
◼
►
first VA list function a few minutes ago
[TS]
00:00:35
◼
►
like all this time I've known that it's a thing I've known you know that that
[TS]
00:00:40
◼
►
this is how you do very well argument list C functions but I've never actually
[TS]
00:00:45
◼
►
needed to write one really until like an hour ago I did that at my first job
[TS]
00:00:52
◼
►
which was C++ $4 remember why did it but I did it was weird so would you use it
[TS]
00:00:59
◼
►
for him I'll add asked yet you want I so I first from my new big thing I've now
[TS]
00:01:08
◼
►
done in in substantially shipping products I've now done both core data in
[TS]
00:01:15
◼
►
the magazine and grant that's a that's a pretty light use for today but it's
[TS]
00:01:19
◼
►
still a shipping Peppino productive for production use of this listing for a
[TS]
00:01:24
◼
►
real app that's not entirely trivial so I've used for data and Instapaper I used
[TS]
00:01:32
◼
►
SQLite just wrong and just made a few lightweight utility functions to wrap on
[TS]
00:01:38
◼
►
top of it but I didn't that's everything was really just done violet rock and
[TS]
00:01:44
◼
►
roll calls the escalating the eye and i know if i dont not pronounced SQLite and
[TS]
00:01:48
◼
►
I don't care I also sick if a while sucking it anyway I so from a new
[TS]
00:01:59
◼
►
project now that I've seen both I would like to get back to SQLite a little bit
[TS]
00:02:05
◼
►
just because core data is really nice for a very large set of things but this
[TS]
00:02:10
◼
►
is something where I expect to be dealing with a lot of
[TS]
00:02:13
◼
►
data and I know when you have large datasets that core data performance
[TS]
00:02:18
◼
►
problems can can pretty easily arise and can often be very very hard to get
[TS]
00:02:22
◼
►
around so I decided to use just Mueller's awesome FMD be which is a
[TS]
00:02:30
◼
►
which is a pretty lightweight wrapper around SQLite and what I what I decided
[TS]
00:02:36
◼
►
to build was a similarly lightweight model class on top of that and this is
[TS]
00:02:44
◼
►
probably this is one of those things where if you hear program were saying
[TS]
00:02:47
◼
►
they made their own model class chances are it was a bad idea and mile chances
[TS]
00:02:52
◼
►
are mine is probably a bad idea as well but I'm doing it anyway just like
[TS]
00:02:56
◼
►
BlogEngine and receive my own coffee I'm doing these things anyway even though
[TS]
00:02:59
◼
►
it's it's generally not worth it and I'm probably like so OK to meet the main
[TS]
00:03:04
◼
►
argument against this this is the classic like programmer know it all
[TS]
00:03:08
◼
►
wanting to rewrite something really critical that everyone's on a million
[TS]
00:03:11
◼
►
times and chances are my version gonna have bugs you know they're implementing
[TS]
00:03:16
◼
►
units joke or a maximalist whatever the whatever the joke is all three so it is
[TS]
00:03:25
◼
►
let's look at it was UNIX ok I have to look that up anyway so of course you're
[TS]
00:03:32
◼
►
right John this is the kind of thing you would know is that resemble any it's
[TS]
00:03:35
◼
►
like you know if any any program eventually includes a half ass buggy
[TS]
00:03:41
◼
►
implementation of whisper something like that I'm paraphrasing yeah I'm pretty
[TS]
00:03:45
◼
►
sure that is the thing I'm referring to
[TS]
00:03:46
◼
►
anyway so so there's there's already probably a million of these things out
[TS]
00:03:51
◼
►
there but I don't like using other peoples frameworks that do substantial
[TS]
00:03:57
◼
►
like non trivial things I don't generally tend to use those except
[TS]
00:04:02
◼
►
apples and you know things that I just really could not write myself but using
[TS]
00:04:10
◼
►
other peoples like utility functions to fight that that's why I'm a handy
[TS]
00:04:13
◼
►
because not only do a lot of people use it and just be a good programmer but I
[TS]
00:04:17
◼
►
can I can look at the code it's not a very large library it's it's actually
[TS]
00:04:21
◼
►
very very compact
[TS]
00:04:23
◼
►
and it is really is just like it really just convenience wrappers around SQLite
[TS]
00:04:28
◼
►
for the most part and so is it so you know it's pretty thin so you're not
[TS]
00:04:33
◼
►
you're not like networking family if not working I
[TS]
00:04:38
◼
►
to the magazine fairly late like it and I think in the most recent version of
[TS]
00:04:43
◼
►
the magazine I think it for for some some relatively
[TS]
00:04:48
◼
►
or some relatively trivial thing I really want to try it I know I have
[TS]
00:04:51
◼
►
networking is very very good and a programmer is that is that met with 3
[TS]
00:04:54
◼
►
t's Thompson who believe that's right he's a he's really really good so that's
[TS]
00:05:00
◼
►
what I like I have no problem using his coat cuz he's ridiculously good so I'm
[TS]
00:05:05
◼
►
pretty sure but everyone is not working so I know that you know it probably is
[TS]
00:05:12
◼
►
not buggy and if there is a bug is probably affects pretty quickly so it's
[TS]
00:05:18
◼
►
nothing like you know it they do a lot of things there it's it's still a fairly
[TS]
00:05:21
◼
►
thin layer though like different parts of it I guess there are different widths
[TS]
00:05:27
◼
►
but yes so anyway long story short I decided to write my own model class and
[TS]
00:05:36
◼
►
this involves
[TS]
00:05:38
◼
►
anytime you write something like this there's a there's a lot of weird design
[TS]
00:05:42
◼
►
decisions you have to make this is one of the first times I've really had to
[TS]
00:05:46
◼
►
dive in to check to C runtime stuff and I'm trying to avoid it being happy Eid
[TS]
00:05:52
◼
►
and now I'm only I'm calling us runtime functions to basically do reflection and
[TS]
00:05:58
◼
►
we had a whole reflection topic on the cut on the topic but I wonder if we can
[TS]
00:06:04
◼
►
get to this now but we certainly can
[TS]
00:06:06
◼
►
yeah but you know like in in dynamic languages like most of the Web languages
[TS]
00:06:12
◼
►
like you know that they've been sleeping with the soviets it's easy to it it's
[TS]
00:06:17
◼
►
very very easy to like you know just inspect your variables and see what the
[TS]
00:06:21
◼
►
class has and
[TS]
00:06:23
◼
►
and do crazy things to it and and everything else with Objective C a lot
[TS]
00:06:28
◼
►
of that is possible some of its not but it's actually more possible than I
[TS]
00:06:33
◼
►
thought it was so one thing I'm doing is you know the model class has its own
[TS]
00:06:40
◼
►
dictionary mapping column names to their values that's so awful but carry on
[TS]
00:06:48
◼
►
go on the times as well it's awful in in that coming from a.net background
[TS]
00:06:57
◼
►
background that is not at all how he would handle it but in Objective C that
[TS]
00:07:02
◼
►
probably is exactly how I would handle its all tell you the other approach when
[TS]
00:07:06
◼
►
you're done so I'm sorry carry on no please tell me now
[TS]
00:07:09
◼
►
alright so now you've just lost the floor for an hour and Johnny Manziel
[TS]
00:07:13
◼
►
just hang up so one of the things I've been wanting to talk about any TV for a
[TS]
00:07:17
◼
►
long time is having a leg in in both the dot net and the Objective C and cocoa
[TS]
00:07:23
◼
►
world's is that there's a there's a lot of obvious differences between the two
[TS]
00:07:28
◼
►
platforms and by and large I really really like the decisions that Apple's
[TS]
00:07:32
◼
►
made and my friend Jimmy Pinkham said to me ones when I was complaining about for
[TS]
00:07:38
◼
►
example how convoluted handling dates are within Coco he said just a date
[TS]
00:07:45
◼
►
class that handles everything in Indiana he said it more eloquently than about
[TS]
00:07:49
◼
►
recounted but he said something to the order up you know is it really that
[TS]
00:07:52
◼
►
complex or is it just properly abstracted and it was one of those
[TS]
00:07:56
◼
►
polled you know total mind explosions you know what you're actually right
[TS]
00:07:59
◼
►
about that and so large I think that that cocoa and Cocoa Touch a really
[TS]
00:08:03
◼
►
really well done however reflection in coca-cola cup attached not as well known
[TS]
00:08:09
◼
►
as I would like
[TS]
00:08:10
◼
►
so let's give you an example by way of how would I have done the same thing in
[TS]
00:08:15
◼
►
dotnet and this all queued for me when you tweeted about 34 days ago about what
[TS]
00:08:22
◼
►
do you call the thing that represents the unique identifier foreign object
[TS]
00:08:27
◼
►
actually in most languages that would be I D
[TS]
00:08:31
◼
►
but in Objective C you can't really do that because it works just fine
[TS]
00:08:37
◼
►
which is a little bit scary but it does work right you can name a variable IDE
[TS]
00:08:43
◼
►
mine was even type I D that's gotta make me hurt so bad but the point of driving
[TS]
00:08:50
◼
►
is whether or not not anymore but allowed it's just not a good plan and I
[TS]
00:08:54
◼
►
think we can all agree about that so what I've done and done at what's really
[TS]
00:08:58
◼
►
great about that at his reflection is in my personal opinion kind of a
[TS]
00:09:01
◼
►
first-class portion of the language in dotnet is really meditative heavy so
[TS]
00:09:07
◼
►
what that means is when I have what a.net program Caulfield but but
[TS]
00:09:12
◼
►
Objective C program program would call live are basically a variable in class I
[TS]
00:09:17
◼
►
can actually decorate that variable with arbitrary things that we call attributes
[TS]
00:09:22
◼
►
so if you imagine a class definition you can say that you have a very bold that's
[TS]
00:09:28
◼
►
called unique identifier for example where you can put an attribute that's
[TS]
00:09:33
◼
►
associated with that variable and that attribute is actually an instance of a
[TS]
00:09:38
◼
►
class that inherits from a certain base class call guess what
[TS]
00:09:42
◼
►
attribute so I could make an attribute that decorates that field that specifies
[TS]
00:09:49
◼
►
what the colony me for that I far so let me play this back I've got a class I've
[TS]
00:09:56
◼
►
got a class that's in my application that may or may not use the same terms
[TS]
00:10:02
◼
►
as I want to use my data store so I could call whatever this is this
[TS]
00:10:09
◼
►
variable but like I said unique identifier I could call that unique
[TS]
00:10:13
◼
►
identifier in my C sharp code but I could decorate it with an attribute that
[TS]
00:10:19
◼
►
says hey when you go back to the database
[TS]
00:10:21
◼
►
it's actually called I D and so that's really really powerful being able to
[TS]
00:10:27
◼
►
easily and that's the key here easily introspect and reflect upon yourself in
[TS]
00:10:33
◼
►
what what meditating you have about your own classes and I use this constantly
[TS]
00:10:39
◼
►
when I first learned about it was one of those things where I had a hammer so
[TS]
00:10:42
◼
►
everything was a nail and I'm not proud of that but as I've gone on to be a more
[TS]
00:10:48
◼
►
mature programmer III still use this all the time and you can write your own
[TS]
00:10:52
◼
►
custom attributes like I said you can use a ton of existing attributes but
[TS]
00:10:56
◼
►
being able to decorate your code and and and give yourself help on what to do
[TS]
00:11:03
◼
►
with your code is the most powerful thing in the world so to bring us back
[TS]
00:11:06
◼
►
to Coco what I would have liked to have been able to do is do the same thing for
[TS]
00:11:11
◼
►
you would have been able to do is to do the same thing and have this Ivar thats
[TS]
00:11:14
◼
►
may be called identifier but in the database is called idea and you don't
[TS]
00:11:19
◼
►
have to have a stupid freakin dictionary or hash table or whatever the case may
[TS]
00:11:23
◼
►
be hanging out doing that conversion it's all in line it's a first-class part
[TS]
00:11:30
◼
►
of that class does that make any sense at all it did that actually really cool
[TS]
00:11:34
◼
►
because I mean I don't even I think I think there actually is buried in the
[TS]
00:11:40
◼
►
runtime away in Objective C two attacks arbitrary objects to any NSObject but I
[TS]
00:11:46
◼
►
don't think and and either way let you know that you probably shouldn't be
[TS]
00:11:52
◼
►
doing things with the is a lot of a lot of things with with you know designing
[TS]
00:11:57
◼
►
low-level model and and reflection type classes and things like that does a lot
[TS]
00:12:03
◼
►
of times where like there's something you can do that you probably shouldn't
[TS]
00:12:06
◼
►
do and a lot of room for terrible acts right and you could do an associated
[TS]
00:12:11
◼
►
object but that's a little bit different because that's more of saying this
[TS]
00:12:16
◼
►
because I haven't done in a while but if memory serves that's saying hey for this
[TS]
00:12:20
◼
►
instance of this class I want to have this arbitrary object associated with it
[TS]
00:12:25
◼
►
where is what I'm talking about is at a class level on defining an additional
[TS]
00:12:29
◼
►
piece of medidata that's part of that class definition and and again it's just
[TS]
00:12:34
◼
►
extremely powerful I think you're right mark I think you can do a lot of this
[TS]
00:12:37
◼
►
with Objective C I'm plugged into reflection in the sea and a lot of it is
[TS]
00:12:42
◼
►
possible a whole heck of a lot of it
[TS]
00:12:44
◼
►
it but the thing that's crummy about it in we've complained about this is a
[TS]
00:12:49
◼
►
threesome for that you gotta drop into the C runtime and you were saying this
[TS]
00:12:53
◼
►
just a few minutes ago you gotta rent dropping the Objective C runtime which
[TS]
00:12:56
◼
►
is all straight see which once you get used to the Christine world of objective
[TS]
00:13:00
◼
►
see it's just it's it's it's not that I mean you know I like I had to write
[TS]
00:13:05
◼
►
Malik and free earlier today for the first time in a while but you know it's
[TS]
00:13:09
◼
►
like it's like 10 lines of C in the middle of this wonderful cushy Playland
[TS]
00:13:14
◼
►
I mean it's not it's not that bad so if someone would you have done in PHP and
[TS]
00:13:20
◼
►
John at like to know where pearl fits in if we ever give you a chance to talk to
[TS]
00:13:24
◼
►
like what you've done if you were trying to solve the same problem in PHP but
[TS]
00:13:27
◼
►
have said the same problem PHP III use for Instapaper for the magazine for the
[TS]
00:13:32
◼
►
new things I I do use my own MVC framework that is very thin and
[TS]
00:13:37
◼
►
lightweight so I can use SQL directly all the same goals actually well most of
[TS]
00:13:41
◼
►
the same goals and so I have this problem PHP and and I basically I i
[TS]
00:13:50
◼
►
think i do roughly the same thing with like you know storing storing the
[TS]
00:13:54
◼
►
attributes of of a model object as a dictionary of no strings to value of
[TS]
00:13:59
◼
►
values and his keys match the database icon names and you know there's all
[TS]
00:14:05
◼
►
sorts of things you can do by the way I love it if marilyn is actually listening
[TS]
00:14:09
◼
►
to this and if he still listening I'm getting him back so hard for all that
[TS]
00:14:12
◼
►
comic book tour this is glorious so you know it there's there's always this is
[TS]
00:14:23
◼
►
one of the reasons why I like doing this kind of programming at at this level
[TS]
00:14:27
◼
►
stopping these kinds of problems even even saw million times before even
[TS]
00:14:31
◼
►
though my implementation may not be very good for some people over some things
[TS]
00:14:34
◼
►
are for myself even I love it because it's there's so many design decisions
[TS]
00:14:40
◼
►
that you can make that really do have a pretty big impact so one of the things
[TS]
00:14:45
◼
►
for too much I think it will get a little bit boring even for people who
[TS]
00:14:50
◼
►
aren't Maryland but I think
[TS]
00:14:54
◼
►
one of the things about one of the hardest part about this is like how do
[TS]
00:14:58
◼
►
you how do you expose the database fields on the object and how much colder
[TS]
00:15:03
◼
►
boilerplate has to pee has to be written to like in Indy subclass so in the model
[TS]
00:15:10
◼
►
classes how much do you have to do and how are the counter percent so in my
[TS]
00:15:15
◼
►
thing I actually do a very similar trick to accord and it does because you can
[TS]
00:15:20
◼
►
tell at runtime books I actually don't know why you can tell us run time but
[TS]
00:15:24
◼
►
you can you can tell it run time whether a property was declared dynamic and
[TS]
00:15:31
◼
►
whether rather whether its implementation was declared dynamic and
[TS]
00:15:35
◼
►
and whether you know it has custom getters and setters all that stuff is
[TS]
00:15:40
◼
►
available at runtime from the runtime API's so I'm basically making it so that
[TS]
00:15:46
◼
►
you can you can set and get arbitrary column names just buy a dictionary API
[TS]
00:15:50
◼
►
but it also treats any dynamic property as a database com so and then you know
[TS]
00:15:56
◼
►
does in a useful thing so you can have a property that's an NSU ro and if you do
[TS]
00:16:01
◼
►
if you declare dynamic in the rotation file then the runtime will see that and
[TS]
00:16:07
◼
►
so at runtime it'll say any access to and from that is the database field
[TS]
00:16:12
◼
►
named that and then you can just call saved and it works and you can call you
[TS]
00:16:18
◼
►
can call the core functions get them and and that it maps into them on Reid's
[TS]
00:16:23
◼
►
you know it's just it's a very simple model ie no I don't
[TS]
00:16:29
◼
►
this is one of the reasons why I write my own bottle where is that like I don't

►
usually like the model layer to have to do that much and specifically like you
[TS]
00:16:41
◼
►
know I treat databases the way that most programmers of previously high-traffic
[TS]
00:16:46
◼
►
web applications treat databases which is infrequently and gently ahead so I
[TS]
00:16:52
◼
►
don't like it and really like crazy you know very high five high functioning
[TS]
00:16:59
◼
►
model type API's where they like go look up associated objects for you and do
[TS]
00:17:04
◼
►
extra queries on your behalf
[TS]
00:17:06
◼
►
and I don't carry builders you know myself so I can choose exactly how it
[TS]
00:17:11
◼
►
screens database and optimize it and I don't like anything that creates the
[TS]
00:17:16
◼
►
tables for me I don't like the core data GUI about the the mall declarations and
[TS]
00:17:23
◼
►
the migrations of migrations are a rough so I'm basically doing something that it
[TS]
00:17:32
◼
►
it is more of a convenience wrapper than a functional rapper if that makes sense
[TS]
00:17:36
◼
►
like it's not it's not doing a whole bunch of magic it's just getting rid of
[TS]
00:17:41
◼
►
boilerplate
[TS]
00:17:43
◼
►
does that make sense it does I guess to me I view a model as the buffer between
[TS]
00:17:52
◼
►
the completely myopic database world and the completely myopic application-level
[TS]
00:17:59
◼
►
into me and I agree with you that model should be extremely dumb it should
[TS]
00:18:03
◼
►
basically be a bucket in nothing else but I I would hate have not having it
[TS]
00:18:09
◼
►
around because I want my application code to speak with classes classes and
[TS]
00:18:14
◼
►
very little else and all my database to speak to itself in some late
[TS]
00:18:19
◼
►
intermediate layer that translates from database to modeling back in and I think
[TS]
00:18:23
◼
►
we're saying the same thing but I i cant when you said I am writing a model and i
[TS]
00:18:27
◼
►
cant believe in doing that senator that's just it struck me funny because I
[TS]
00:18:31
◼
►
would hate not to have one
[TS]
00:18:33
◼
►
yeah so John yeah that's a job where you land on something and Marco said in the
[TS]
00:18:42
◼
►
beginning readers this topic about how he was making his own model class and
[TS]
00:18:45
◼
►
that's probably a mistake and Casey said he thought it was thinking about this
[TS]
00:18:51
◼
►
topic i save a lot of it's kind of like a class system for programmers and maybe
[TS]
00:19:01
◼
►
maybe Marco but I mean it like you know you know maybe Marco has not seen as
[TS]
00:19:07
◼
►
much as Casey has been
[TS]
00:19:09
◼
►
govt job for longer but I see it all the time if the distinctions of all sorts of
[TS]
00:19:16
◼
►
programs based on their experience what language they use with their education
[TS]
00:19:19
◼
►
is it ever and this distinction i think is the most important one much more so
[TS]
00:19:23
◼
►
than any of those things no matter what their education is how long they have
[TS]
00:19:26
◼
►
been doing what language they rioting in I usually tend to Ben programmers into
[TS]
00:19:31
◼
►
two groups one is the programmers who take something that someone else wrote
[TS]
00:19:39
◼
►
and use it to make a program they learn Ruby on Rails and they make a web
[TS]
00:19:43
◼
►
application you know they they learned you like it and in the end I OS
[TS]
00:19:48
◼
►
applications and those people distinguish between the Magical Elves
[TS]
00:19:55
◼
►
that make the things are going to use to write their program and their program
[TS]
00:19:59
◼
►
and the second set of people make no distinction between the things they're
[TS]
00:20:04
◼
►
using to write the program and their program it's all one continuous thing
[TS]
00:20:07
◼
►
and those are the people who are going to write their own thing even though the
[TS]
00:20:13
◼
►
vendor provides one or those that are going to write their own web frameworks
[TS]
00:20:17
◼
►
of their own blog engines or like you know in the extreme case their own
[TS]
00:20:20
◼
►
language like its complete continuum and there's no hard and fast line between
[TS]
00:20:24
◼
►
these are the words that I typed making a program work and this is my program
[TS]
00:20:28
◼
►
you know like I don't know if you wanna call to build myself have to be that
[TS]
00:20:32
◼
►
type of thing but there are some people who will never cross that line in every
[TS]
00:20:36
◼
►
in every environment they find themselves in programming they will draw
[TS]
00:20:40
◼
►
that distinction somewhere in say that is other and I don't do that and that is
[TS]
00:20:43
◼
►
magic and I call these things to make my program work and in my program is a
[TS]
00:20:47
◼
►
series of conditionals in loops and variables in class or whatever they use
[TS]
00:20:50
◼
►
that thing to do their work and I think that that distinction is like a
[TS]
00:20:58
◼
►
provision right there tomorrow class being afraid to like and to try and draw
[TS]
00:21:04
◼
►
that line in like using as a barrier and saying I shouldn't cross over the line
[TS]
00:21:07
◼
►
one is like practicality like it maybe you should write your own language and
[TS]
00:21:10
◼
►
compiler to do this you know
[TS]
00:21:11
◼
►
calculator program or something right so that's one side by side of his I see a
[TS]
00:21:16
◼
►
lot of people who draw that line and are afraid to ever cross that everyone
[TS]
00:21:18
◼
►
starts with outline what you're doing you start out
[TS]
00:21:21
◼
►
right but I encourage everybody who thinks they can recognize that line to
[TS]
00:21:25
◼
►
realize the line doesn't exist it's all just one big continuum of code written
[TS]
00:21:29
◼
►
by people and there's no reason you can't write a better one of whatever it
[TS]
00:21:33
◼
►
is that you're using all up and down the chain and in some cases you should
[TS]
00:21:36
◼
►
obviously you know like knowing when you should remind you shouldn't is a whole
[TS]
00:21:41
◼
►
separate matter but never like it you know I wouldn't like it if this is a
[TS]
00:21:46
◼
►
reason not to do it not because like all I'm gonna screw it up and just people
[TS]
00:21:50
◼
►
who made those things are like at a certain point there's other people to
[TS]
00:21:53
◼
►
write you know like just another guy and you know you're good at doing some like
[TS]
00:22:00
◼
►
that is they decided I'm gonna make my own thing here and then do your thing
[TS]
00:22:04
◼
►
might not be as good but the fifth version of your thing will be as good
[TS]
00:22:07
◼
►
and then you've just become one of those people in that line is gone so that's my
[TS]
00:22:12
◼
►
take on this whole on the demerit topic to topic for a minute it up again and
[TS]
00:22:17
◼
►
I'm double medic and as for the things that the actual things you're all
[TS]
00:22:22
◼
►
talking about their I don't wanna go simpson's did it on you but I you know I
[TS]
00:22:26
◼
►
was doing since instead it right so all the stuff myself accountable in the
[TS]
00:22:30
◼
►
world and the path that I've traveled and I think a lot of the pro communities
[TS]
00:22:35
◼
►
travel in the same day same topic is kind of you know in the beginning
[TS]
00:22:43
◼
►
you've got a way to Cincy Calgary somewhere and that's annoying and
[TS]
00:22:47
◼
►
someone write some nicer way to wrap that up and that's nicer than you're
[TS]
00:22:51
◼
►
like ok when I wanna make some like classes associated with things that are
[TS]
00:22:54
◼
►
gonna be associated tables and it's kind of annoying to write all that which
[TS]
00:22:58
◼
►
fields are associated with columns and cyclic marco was going to how much do I
[TS]
00:23:02
◼
►
have to write like after you done ten or twenty those things at a certain point
[TS]
00:23:05
◼
►
in like can I type blessing at the same effect right and then the less likely
[TS]
00:23:11
◼
►
you know that the ActiveRecord rails type thing we're like 10 have type
[TS]
00:23:14
◼
►
anything can just inspect the database and figure out what all the columns are
[TS]
00:23:18
◼
►
into a list for me and say look I can type of 19 my whole thing is not right
[TS]
00:23:22
◼
►
and you know you could just see you can probably do that I'd like to see if you
[TS]
00:23:28
◼
►
really want to get down and dirty with the injectors here on time will you
[TS]
00:23:30
◼
►
probably don't but
[TS]
00:23:32
◼
►
you know just don't don't have anything to inspect the database figure out the
[TS]
00:23:36
◼
►
classes make your clothes make your feet on the table many classes based on now
[TS]
00:23:40
◼
►
have a thing that manages the conventions for naming and also the crap
[TS]
00:23:43
◼
►
you know and I think the next step beyond that which I found probably the
[TS]
00:23:50
◼
►
biggest leap like that the first biggest leap was the one where you get into the
[TS]
00:23:54
◼
►
race to see how the typing you can do useful work done in the second biggest
[TS]
00:23:58
◼
►
leap i think is when you get to the point where you realize that time your
[TS]
00:24:02
◼
►
classes are structured database tables is a terrible idea at like not just like
[TS]
00:24:07
◼
►
in terms of the field names but structurally period because maybe
[TS]
00:24:10
◼
►
doesn't happen in small projects are products of a single developer but in
[TS]
00:24:14
◼
►
large projects and big companies that evolved over many many years
[TS]
00:24:18
◼
►
inevitably the structure databases almost no relation to the way you want
[TS]
00:24:21
◼
►
your application to work like not at all not on the table bases not own anything
[TS]
00:24:25
◼
►
like it just ridiculously diversion and in some ways you could say well that's
[TS]
00:24:28
◼
►
bad because things are diverging and they're getting on my stop but sometimes
[TS]
00:24:32
◼
►
it's necessary because the way if your data structured has to evolve in a
[TS]
00:24:36
◼
►
direction for performance reasons it has no bearing whatsoever how you would like
[TS]
00:24:40
◼
►
to deal with it in your application so I think the next step in the sequences to
[TS]
00:24:43
◼
►
give yourself tools to get your data in the database but make sure you don't tie
[TS]
00:24:49
◼
►
any of you guys are calling model objects hate that term you don't try any
[TS]
00:24:54
◼
►
of the inner workings every application to the structure or storage location or
[TS]
00:24:58
◼
►
anything having to do with the stuff in the database you still need some tool to
[TS]
00:25:01
◼
►
make it seem like a million lines of code every time I get a database thing
[TS]
00:25:04
◼
►
you know
[TS]
00:25:05
◼
►
inflate your values and your objects and data objects and all that nice stop and
[TS]
00:25:09
◼
►
you still want to be able to do to not have to type that you click Load but you
[TS]
00:25:14
◼
►
have to make it you have to make another bike box on the graphics and this is my
[TS]
00:25:18
◼
►
code because the crap on a database this is what created from the data in the
[TS]
00:25:22
◼
►
database and those two are pretty much entirely unrelated so it actually helps
[TS]
00:25:27
◼
►
and development of innovative ace and other studies have text files I was
[TS]
00:25:32
◼
►
talking to hardcode suffer like the rest of your application don't care because
[TS]
00:25:35
◼
►
it deals with things that have no relation to the storage location or
[TS]
00:25:39
◼
►
structure of the thing and sometimes even when you doing projects all that
[TS]
00:25:42
◼
►
good for you to say
[TS]
00:25:44
◼
►
this is the correct table structure which you know who like just doing
[TS]
00:25:47
◼
►
database stuff you know what you are going to fishermen indexes you need what
[TS]
00:25:49
◼
►
things should be normalized not but when AM application it would be convenient if
[TS]
00:25:53
◼
►
the structure is very like this make the things that your application deals with
[TS]
00:25:57
◼
►
look the way they're most convenient for the application deal with men have some
[TS]
00:26:00
◼
►
sort of layer which is sometimes annoying to write but it will save you
[TS]
00:26:04
◼
►
later some sort of like that translates between the two in sometimes byzantine
[TS]
00:26:07
◼
►
ways so that that i think is a case where all the things that are met with
[TS]
00:26:15
◼
►
reflection coming at every level that existing you make it like makes it can
[TS]
00:26:18
◼
►
be a database that meets metadata and then the next thing you make that takes
[TS]
00:26:22
◼
►
the data from the database and puts it into the things that your application is
[TS]
00:26:27
◼
►
going to deal with like your applications idealized view of the world
[TS]
00:26:30
◼
►
that doesn't reflect the possible nastiness of the database because of
[TS]
00:26:33
◼
►
weirdness that needs a metadata to let things you don't write that code up all
[TS]
00:26:38
◼
►
by yourself and then finally your application for top-level think it's a
[TS]
00:26:42
◼
►
deal with objects look like that are you know magically delicious that are just
[TS]
00:26:44
◼
►
like wow this is exactly what I needed for this for my application it is you
[TS]
00:26:50
◼
►
know it's your idealized view of the world wouldn't it be great if we just
[TS]
00:26:53
◼
►
had three objects and they did this and you're like it so hard to do that when
[TS]
00:26:56
◼
►
your experience far as you think but i cant that object can exist to do that
[TS]
00:27:00
◼
►
because I know that's going to be on these two tables miss invasions from a
[TS]
00:27:03
◼
►
third table and and so you end up making things that are you know tied here to do
[TS]
00:27:07
◼
►
it so that's that's more or less the path I've walked on this topic in pearl
[TS]
00:27:13
◼
►
and in other languages and its effect on people like Andy Oram backlash was like
[TS]
00:27:19
◼
►
the RMS like it the ActiveRecord phase and you get to that place and you
[TS]
00:27:22
◼
►
realize you're kind of in a dead-end you've done a terrible thing but you're
[TS]
00:27:25
◼
►
not really like you've created something useful but you you know you need
[TS]
00:27:30
◼
►
something else as well so you know everything that you've done is is
[TS]
00:27:37
◼
►
helping you move forward this just another place where you can also move
[TS]
00:27:40
◼
►
stuff yeah I think you're right though that there's always this this kind of
[TS]
00:27:53
◼
►
battle between the the objects are fully abstracted from the data and the
[TS]
00:27:58
◼
►
messiness or the structure of the database one of the things that I think
[TS]
00:28:04
◼
►
court data does a little bit badly for my taste is it it's it's too much on
[TS]
00:28:10
◼
►
that object side where core data even though it is based on a database storage
[TS]
00:28:16
◼
►
engine and in many ways behaved like a database in many ways it doesn't let you
[TS]
00:28:22
◼
►
treat it like a database and so you're kind of it like like there's a there's a
[TS]
00:28:27
◼
►
whole class of operations that in court that are very easy to do and database
[TS]
00:28:31
◼
►
things like a lot of things involving multiple records or batches our range of
[TS]
00:28:35
◼
►
things like that things that coordinate either can't do very well can't do it
[TS]
00:28:40
◼
►
trying to give you the idealized version but now let me say anything about you
[TS]
00:28:46
◼
►
don't worry about the database you just tell us how you under the idealized view
[TS]
00:28:49
◼
►
of the world your application and we'll just persist that and you like really I
[TS]
00:28:53
◼
►
would like to have some influence on the process because I have some ideas that
[TS]
00:28:57
◼
►
you may find interesting
[TS]
00:28:58
◼
►
exactly and and for analog lot of times it's also necessary for performance you
[TS]
00:29:04
◼
►
know when you when you have an app that's just that has like a ton of data
[TS]
00:29:07
◼
►
or that has you know maybe one table 11 object type that has a lot of entries
[TS]
00:29:12
◼
►
and they're all very small to me wanna do something like that kind of thing
[TS]
00:29:16
◼
►
because you sure your data so because you know like the seven queries their
[TS]
00:29:21
◼
►
applications can run most of the time you know what will make those Korea's
[TS]
00:29:23
◼
►
festival not make them fast and coordinated as far l'amore gives you no
[TS]
00:29:27
◼
►
way to to influence the way it stories don't like you just make your
[TS]
00:29:31
◼
►
convenience object graph and you have to kind of like either kind of guests are
[TS]
00:29:34
◼
►
into it or understand enough about tornadoes in relation to how it's gonna
[TS]
00:29:37
◼
►
lay that out and have to know what operations does according to make
[TS]
00:29:40
◼
►
available and what will that translate into another will those be efficient and
[TS]
00:29:43
◼
►
that's like you would rather just you know like I know these are going to
[TS]
00:29:46
◼
►
somehow I bet applications probably just run like you know three possibly
[TS]
00:29:50
◼
►
performance critical care is all the time and it's just that look or did it
[TS]
00:29:55
◼
►
just do this this is all I want everything else to do but these are the
[TS]
00:29:58
◼
►
three essential questions like how do I will structure for you you don't worry
[TS]
00:30:02
◼
►
about so small applications are fine but anyways
[TS]
00:30:05
◼
►
vocational it that's all I continue to coordinate locations but a certain point
[TS]
00:30:09
◼
►
native applications starting out the day not web-scale but the timing is much
[TS]
00:30:15
◼
►
more critical in devices are slower to a certain point even a native application
[TS]
00:30:19
◼
►
you would like to have that kind of influence which is why you know how you
[TS]
00:30:23
◼
►
keep coming back to doing their own thing with Rossi polite because then you
[TS]
00:30:28
◼
►
have control over exactly because you know you have you have the sequel on one
[TS]
00:30:32
◼
►
side which is super light however you say I'm never answered every different
[TS]
00:30:36
◼
►
you shouldn't let me pull you into my way of saying I like isn't officially
[TS]
00:30:41
◼
►
something like SQLite yeah I don't know the official and you may ask you we're
[TS]
00:30:48
◼
►
going to that thing you have that on one side and that doesn't know anything
[TS]
00:30:54
◼
►
about objects
[TS]
00:30:54
◼
►
about you know your objects in your code like it's totally just raw there is no
[TS]
00:30:59
◼
►
attempt to even you know to even do anything higher level than just database
[TS]
00:31:04
◼
►
roads and that's it then the other end you have core data which is all about
[TS]
00:31:10
◼
►
the object and their mappings and it it doesn't expose anything about the
[TS]
00:31:15
◼
►
database and pretend that the database isn't there to you know to you the user
[TS]

a stand-alone piece so it can be but I do it and maybe just maybe later this

00:31:38

fall but you know I might think I want to be in the middle of a continuum
[TS]
00:31:44
◼

because I feel there isn't there are enough choices there and what's there a
[TS]
00:31:49
◼

lot of what's there is basically a whole bunch of people like me making the
[TS]
00:31:53
◼

things for themselves to vary with varying degrees of success varying
[TS]
00:31:56
◼

degrees of people using it and reporting bugs and varying degrees of
[TS]
00:32:00
◼

functionality and it's not like to do apps like it if you're the kind of
[TS]
00:32:04
◼

person who can make one of these model layers or or something like this
[TS]
00:32:10
◼

the chances that you're gonna be happy enough with somebody else's to want to
[TS]
00:32:13
◼

use to use their instead of making your own is pretty low
[TS]
00:32:16
◼

and so you know for me you know I I'm doing my own thing like I usually do
[TS]
00:32:22
◼

sometimes good sometimes bad head and say I'm making this thing kind of
[TS]
00:32:30
◼

between single item korda and I'm going to use it and we'll see what happens I
[TS]
00:32:36
◼

guess I think in a native applications hanging out there like small small but
[TS]
00:32:42
◼

like you're not writing system for a product that's gonna have seven
[TS]
00:32:49
◼

incarnations like it you know if you if you are making me think of something
[TS]
00:32:53
◼

like Gmail not LinkedIn maybe Facebook maybe some sort of big giant web service
[TS]
00:33:00

just within their own company if you that's where you really want to have

your have your data access layer and then above that have your object layer

may give you the idealized representation and then have a whole

bunch of other people in the company or whatever

writing business logic riding automation things running stuff and all they ever

relationship with how things are actually story you saw that you're

isolating the whole rest of the people you know I just talked about this line

between the people who are right I think people are using the thing individual

programs shouldn't say that line but if you're trying to scale up a company it's
[TS]
00:33:42
◼

a good idea to have people building at various layers and you want everyone
[TS]
00:33:46
◼

who's this writing you know a bunch of reports that run or a bunch of jobs that
[TS]
00:33:50
◼

do maintenance stuff for the people who write the web front end of the people
[TS]
00:33:52
◼

who write the native app you want all those people to be using an interface
[TS]
00:33:57
◼

that has almost no relation to the implementation of you could possibly

help it and then another set of people dealing with how that you know idealized

view of the product interfaces with the datastore back and they're going to have

tables are gonna rename things are gonna do different versions of tables and you

with the webservice something especially using a different language for the web

part of it it's probably not critical that you make this kind of enterprise a

00:35:33
◼

friction out of owning and managing domain names now I I bet everyone
[TS]
00:35:37
◼

listening to the show is probably very nice to have our domain name in the past
[TS]
00:35:40
◼

and if you borrowed the main anywhere else I imagine you were not that happy
[TS]
00:35:45
◼

with the experience because I have bought them in a lot of places and
[TS]
00:35:49
◼

they're pretty rough
[TS]
00:35:53
◼

most of the places a pretty rough however is to me like a breath of fresh

for sponsoring the show so to briefly speak in favor of core data so my really
[TS]
00:37:45
◼
►
crummy although soon-to-be not crummy since it's all street you I kids it's
[TS]
00:37:48
◼
►
gonna be my really crummy iPhone app which I wrote basically as an exercise
[TS]
00:37:54
◼
►
to teach myself how to write an iPhone happened that's allowed its called fast
[TS]
00:37:59
◼
►
tax to be and it's embarrassing and iOS 6 but it's going to be brilliant and I
[TS]
00:38:03
◼
►
was seven because I'm going to change virtually nothing at all just like
[TS]
00:38:06
◼
►
magical and pretty but in case the app doesn't do a whole heck of a lot the
[TS]
00:38:13
◼
►
point is to do one thing really quickly and that Sendak and text message to the
[TS]
00:38:17
◼
►
ideas you probably app you say you want to send it to which is presumably list
[TS]
00:38:22
◼
►
of people that already set up what message would want to send me back up
[TS]
00:38:25
◼
►
their backwards I think I did I haven't used it a couple days but anyway the
[TS]
00:38:29
◼
►
point is you pick who you pick what can you say go and that actually uses core
[TS]
00:38:33
◼
►
data and that is actually a really really great use of core data because
[TS]
00:38:40
◼
►
candidly it's very very simple it's two entities it's a total of like
[TS]
00:38:44
◼
►
10 attributes between the two entities and it worked really well and one of the
[TS]
00:38:49
◼
►
things I like so much about it was that when I decided to add support for
[TS]
00:38:54
◼
►
sending messages to email addresses as well as just phone numbers I had to add
[TS]
00:39:00
◼
►
comment if you will and attribute to say well as this thing and email address or
[TS]
00:39:06
◼
►
number and obviously to parse out whatever the point in driving out there
[TS]
00:39:11
◼
►
was that I had to do according to migration and to be honest for me
[TS]
00:39:14
◼
►
because this was such a simple use case it actually worked really really well it
[TS]
00:39:18
◼
►
was really nice and I said in Xcode hey wanna make a new version of this model
[TS]
00:39:24
◼
►
here's what's different about it and I wrote a couple of lines of code in my
[TS]
00:39:27
◼
►
app delegate to handle it and everything just happened
[TS]
00:39:31
◼
►
magically and I've actually had no real issues with core data but to be fair
[TS]
00:39:36
◼
►
this is an extremely simple use case and to me I think that's what's great this
[TS]
00:39:41
◼
►
is quoted as bread and butter is to do something really simple all I want
[TS]
00:39:46
◼
►
wasn't way in which I can persist very small object graph and that's like out
[TS]
00:39:51
◼
►
of the book which I would look up at the developer for always up it's like how
[TS]
00:39:55
◼
►
did the book exactly what it is meant for so I agree with what you're saying
[TS]
00:39:59
◼
►
that in a lot of ways coordinators this really big scary abstraction that you
[TS]
00:40:02
◼
►
don't want to just relinquish her life to so to speak but for me it worked out
[TS]
00:40:06
◼
►
really really well you could've just used properly Alice I mean not just the
[TS]
00:40:11
◼
►
property of us back end of Cordoba like a literal profit like the volume of you
[TS]
00:40:15
◼
►
basically made like the sample application they would have you make no
[TS]
00:40:21
◼
►
I mean like the corn and apart like you know two entities like not a lot of them
[TS]
00:40:25
◼
►
I mean I don't know how many text messages take your applications are not
[TS]
00:40:31
◼
►
going to start 10,000 can text messages to the purpose of the application
[TS]
00:40:35
◼
►
quickly so like yeah you could have gotten away with the property is in fact
[TS]
00:40:39
◼
►
that's what a lot of people did absolutely i mean there's certain point
[TS]
00:40:43
◼
►
it becomes ridiculous but absolutely right now a lot of fast tax a lot of the
[TS]
00:40:48
◼
►
purpose of it was and a series of Engineering lessons and exercises for
[TS]
00:40:54
◼
►
and part of the reason I used for data was just gonna I wanna see what it's all
[TS]
00:40:58
◼
►
about so everyone complains moans about it I can say oh yeah you know I
[TS]
00:41:01
◼
►
understand why you're saying that and and I could complain and moan with the
[TS]
00:41:05
◼
►
next guy but for me it actually worked out really nicely and I know you should
[TS]
00:41:09
◼
►
have plunged program sooner you can mention your program and I never
[TS]
00:41:11
◼
►
bothered looking but it wasn't I looked upon it was like something about this
[TS]
00:41:15
◼
►
week in my college that's a useful program you shouldn't you know I don't
[TS]
00:41:18
◼
►
know if there's a hundred other programs out there to do that and obviously don't
[TS]
00:41:21
◼
►
send text messages to people so that's why I'm not in that field but that's
[TS]
00:41:25
◼
►
exactly I think that would be a common category of program that can text
[TS]
00:41:30
◼
►
message sender well I don't know if it's comment but it was it was actually it's
[TS]
00:41:35
◼
►
funny hearing Marco talked about a lot of the things that he's talked about
[TS]
00:41:38
◼
►
both in building analyzing here it was a very funny exercise an interesting
[TS]
00:41:42
◼
►
exercise for me because I I'd love to be able to just magically invent the next
[TS]
00:41:47
◼
►
Instapaper and be able to do something
[TS]
00:41:50
◼
►
independently and and right now you have any competition exactly but I'm driving
[TS]
00:41:56
◼
►
it is it'd be cool to to not work for myself but I feel like I need that
[TS]
00:42:01
◼
►
magical idea and so flashback to I think was I was four when I wanna say MF
[TS]
00:42:06
◼
►
message compose new controller whatever it is basically they added the ability
[TS]
00:42:10
◼
►
for an app to send text messages and so I found that out at WTC which causes
[TS]
00:42:16
◼
►
2011 doesn't matter I found out of that WBC that other gonna do this now like I
[TS]
00:42:21
◼
►
know what I can do with that and so I had to figure out how do you build and
[TS]
00:42:28
◼
►
ship the app in in order to I wanted to be in on day one of Iowa's for and so
[TS]
00:42:33
◼
►
the reason I think it's so funny is because in the smallest littlest way
[TS]
00:42:39
◼
►
this was Casey sized exercise and doing the sorts of things that that many of my
[TS]
00:42:45
◼
►
peers do for a living and that I had an idea and I needed to execute and I
[TS]
00:42:50
◼
►
needed to execute a certain date not unlike what say underscore did with feed
[TS]
00:42:54
◼
►
Wrangler and it was just a very funny thing and that's why it was a really
[TS]
00:42:58
◼
►
rewarding because I was able to get this little appropriately sized view of the
[TS]
00:43:03
◼
►
world that alot of my my good friends and peers and I that's kind of a side
[TS]
00:43:09
◼
►
note but I was it's fine it's it's a very simple out but it's very useful I
[TS]
00:43:14
◼
►
use it all the time so if you didn't write that Apple into the App Store like
[TS]
00:43:18
◼
►
if you look at the competitors are there other applications that their well-known
[TS]
00:43:22
◼
►
one that most people use that I know about it I was into texting I don't know
[TS]
00:43:26
◼
►
if there's a well-known one i mean it's because there's no Instapaper of the
[TS]
00:43:29
◼
►
market if there if there is I don't know it's me honest and I've never taken the
[TS]
00:43:34
◼
►
app was not a money-making venture in fact I probably put a couple hundred
[TS]
00:43:38
◼
►
dollars into it that I haven't gotten out I mean I've gotten a checkup gotten
[TS]
00:43:42
◼
►
checks from Apple for it but I have spent more between the hundred dollar
[TS]
00:43:46
◼
►
annual developer account and paying 40 bucks whatever was for a passive
[TS]
00:43:51
◼

expressed to hand draw the world's worst icon I was pretty proud of it to be
[TS]
00:43:59
◼
►
honest but it but if I sell its pretty damn thing that's good thank you for not
[TS]
00:44:08
◼
►
letting downtown now but you know like that actually is what speaking of you
[TS]
00:44:13
◼
►
know applications that that is a lot of the time what separates the application
[TS]
00:44:18
◼
►
that someone makes and like barely makes back its money and developer fees and
[TS]
00:44:22
◼
►
the one that does is putting in a little bit of extra money for her designer into
[TS]
00:44:28
◼
►
your icon and like getting the UI to look nicer like window-dressing
[TS]
00:44:33
◼

marketing type not marketing in terms of like paying money to advertise like when
[TS]
00:44:38
◼
►
someone sees your page what is the impression they get an apple hammer
[TS]
00:44:40
◼
►
since like raising WEC like the first impression selling gets when they glance
[TS]
00:44:44
◼
►
at your application is no reflection on the functionality of kitchen because if
[TS]
00:44:49
◼

there are a lot of these applications and can text messages whats going to
[TS]
00:44:53
◼

differentiate them is like the one that liked make someone feel good to have it
[TS]
00:44:56
◼
►
on their home screen feel good to launch it and use it every time they do they
[TS]
00:45:00
◼
►
feel good about that experience that's why I was seven such an opportunity
[TS]
00:45:02
◼

because allegations of you used to feel good about using now they will not feel
[TS]
00:45:07
◼

as good with you look older
[TS]
00:45:11
◼

you know and strange or whatever so that could have been all that separated you
[TS]
00:45:15
◼
►
from perhaps not Instapaper little success but at very least you know being
[TS]
00:45:21
◼
►
in the black instead of the red on lifetime for this application is just a
[TS]
00:45:25
◼

nicer icon a little bit nicer you I know you're absolutely right and some
[TS]
00:45:29
◼

screenshots with the puppies in there something you're absolutely right again
[TS]
00:45:35

this was more was written in order for me to be able to myself and say you
[TS]
00:45:41

don't want you did get something the App Store and even if everyone around you

thinks it's a flaming turd at least you can say you know what one way or another
[TS]
00:45:49

that's mine and I did that and I wrote it at a time where I barely could write

hello world in Objective C and that's not to say that unstable and whatnot and
[TS]
00:45:57

I'm driving at though is that it was a really great exercise to teach myself

00:46:02

this entire pipeline and I'm really glad I did it and I keep it there to be
[TS]
00:46:06

honest if if I'm really candid I keep it there more as kind of a trophy to for

ideas because you can look at any app you use any app you ever need to use and

◼

make a better one of those because it just takes so much time and I like any
[TS]
00:51:31
◼

notoriety might have would encourage me not discourage me because although all
[TS]
00:51:35
◼

that would translate to is like look for every every time point of Internet
[TS]
00:51:39
◼

notoriety I have that is one extra point on you know on the pond sales
[TS]
00:51:44

possibilities right like it's not fair but that's the way it works like if
[TS]
00:51:48

00:52:15
◼

significant starting from zero even that though like yeah I mean for me it was
[TS]
00:52:19
◼
►
like I'm experienced developers so it didn't take me that long to do all this
[TS]
00:52:23
◼
►
stuff the icon even accidentally made itself and then even that app I said I
[TS]
00:52:29
◼
►
I'll spend a couple of days doing this app that's all I can really justify
[TS]
00:52:34
◼
►
spending on it cuz it's going to make you know I 20 bucks a day for the next
[TS]
00:52:37
◼
►
two years you know so I can't justify doing a whole lot more on this app just
[TS]
00:52:41
◼
►
a few days of work so I get back to my my other stuff and a few days became
[TS]
00:52:46
◼
►
like 10 days like it was like seven days to build version one and then I got a
[TS]
00:52:51
◼

break while being approved and then within a few days of being released I
[TS]
00:52:56
◼
►
was working on 1.1 to fix all the bugs that everyone found and a couple of
[TS]
00:53:00
◼

minor enhancements and that took a couple more days so all in this is you
[TS]
00:53:04
◼

know almost two weeks solid for this app and you know and and I should clarify
[TS]
00:53:10
◼
►
the chatroom yeah it's gonna be 20 bucks a day maybe like you know maybe for the
[TS]
00:53:16
◼
►
next couple of months after that it might be a good time for 3000 and this
[TS]
00:53:22
◼

is not a joke and I probably shouldn't share this publicly but whatever I am
[TS]
00:53:26

that I mean that I like what like when I made nursing clock last year the
[TS]
00:53:46
◼

breastfeeding timer I i released the head and even that took a little bit
[TS]
00:53:50
◼

longer than I thought it would even the Napa had almost no effort into it all
[TS]
00:53:53
◼
►
that took a few days to really polished and make it releasable any shape and
[TS]
00:53:58
◼
►
even that over its entire life it made i think seventy dollars and it wasn't it
[TS]
00:54:04
◼
►
wasn't a whole lot and I even ended up pulling it down after about six months
[TS]
00:54:09
◼
►
or so because there was somebody had tipped me off there was a patent troll
[TS]
00:54:14
◼
►
going around suing or threatening to sue people who made child care related apps
[TS]
00:54:19
◼
►
and even though mine was not wouldn't have applied for the patent applied we
[TS]
00:54:26
◼
►
all know that doesn't matter how I just like you know what this app is made like
[TS]
00:54:30
◼

$70 and six months it's not even worth the risk of having a potential come out

01:01:31
◼
►
cited and you know any others that you look on there and he said like you know
[TS]
01:01:35
◼
►
he assumed going into this that it would be pretty hard to to read pens and to
[TS]
01:01:39
◼
►
figure out what they are and who invited them but in fact once I started trying
[TS]
01:01:42
◼
►
to do it that was easier than he expected and it only takes a few minutes
[TS]
01:01:47
◼
►
to read about to reopen and into opposed to me going to do about how to read
[TS]
01:01:51
◼
►
patents in 60 seconds cuz they they all try to be very obvious skated to try to
[TS]
01:01:56
◼
►
get granted and try to try to get past any potential conflicts or duplicates or
[TS]
01:02:01
◼
►
to try to become more over-reaching otherwise would have liked that they did
[TS]
01:02:06
◼
►
it go for obfuscation to attempt to confuse the
[TS]
01:02:10
◼
►
patent examiners but the problem is you know if if one working programmer and
[TS]
01:02:17
◼
►
granite joel is a good and knowledgeable programmer but still if one programmer
[TS]
01:02:21
◼
►
can look at a patent application and and see kind of see through it that quickly
[TS]
01:02:27
◼
►
why doesn't the patent office why can't they do something similar quite like if
[TS]
01:02:34
◼
►
they can say yeah we can have some graphics programming techniques why
[TS]
01:02:38
◼
►
can't they either have or contract with graphics programmers to look at any
[TS]
01:02:43
◼
►
graphics related patents like that it's just I'm really glad ask patents exists
[TS]
01:02:48
◼
►
and obviously it needs to exist but why it needs to exist as kind of a problem
[TS]
01:02:53
◼
►
this is a government agency and they don't like that hiring money you can't
[TS]
01:02:57
◼
►
pay graphics programmer and their outsourcing the part that you know that
[TS]
01:03:01
◼
►
they they can't be done at scale because there's a limited number of patent
[TS]
01:03:05
◼
►
employees they just those employees only know about patents and there nothing
[TS]
01:03:09
◼
►
about you know the domain areas and the same token Joe could not have written
[TS]
01:03:14
◼
►
that ridiculous document that you know codifies the invite the rejection of the
[TS]
01:03:19
◼
►
patent Joe could not have written that because that requires the lawyer-like
[TS]
01:03:23
◼
►
expertise the people in the patent office in like what form you have to do
[TS]
01:03:26
◼
►
things and one what is a valid rejection and what must you like that's the skill
[TS]
01:03:30
◼
►
that they're bringing to the table you know that to be able to navigate this
[TS]
01:03:35
◼
►
legal aid lawyers like you know you may have an intuitive feel of you know
[TS]
01:03:41
◼
►
what's right and wrong and had approved things but if you're not a lawyer you
[TS]
01:03:43
◼
►
don't know how to actually do it right so this is just fine if you like the
[TS]
01:03:48
◼
►
look you find me the prior art and then the us- patent offices will take it from
[TS]
01:03:51
◼
►
here so you did that part of the work for us we'll take that and probably
[TS]
01:03:55
◼
►
spend ten times as much time doing this stupid legal use dance and this formal
[TS]
01:03:59
◼
►
document structure to reject the patent and bring it through this building
[TS]
01:04:02
◼
►
bureaucratic just try clicking through to their rejection he's like explains
[TS]
01:04:06
◼
►
how to find the rejection is like the preliminary draft projection finalized
[TS]
01:04:11
◼
►
for my trying to read it it just you know not penetrate even the rejection of
[TS]
01:04:16
◼
►
the patent let alone that is something that that had a dependency second is
[TS]
01:04:19
◼
►
good because it tells you just ignore everything go right to the second look
[TS]
01:04:22
◼
►
at these three things
[TS]
01:04:23
◼
►
gone it's it's a broken stupid bureaucratic system that doesn't work
[TS]
01:04:29
◼
►
right and this does not make it better like the security but if anything that
[TS]
01:04:34
◼
►
stops crappy patents from getting granted is a good thing so and this was
[TS]
01:04:39
◼
►
just you know like sort of the community trying to make government better maybe
[TS]
01:04:44
◼
►
not against their will but certainly like what we're here to help you in
[TS]
01:04:47
◼
►
government saying okay we will accept your help in this matter and then it
[TS]
01:04:51
◼
►
producing at least one actual result was a brilliant idea if people are into it
[TS]
01:04:56
◼
►
but it it seems to me that it's tough to get people into it said differently you
[TS]
01:05:02
◼
►
know here it is the the patent office is sorta kinda reaching out to the
[TS]
01:05:06
◼
►
community and saying haiti people who are experts in these things that patents
[TS]
01:05:11
◼
►
are going to help us find this priority but the key is at their annual we're
[TS]
01:05:15
◼
►
experts
[TS]
01:05:16
◼
►
joel is an expert at least you could easily argue as such and i dont know how
[TS]
01:05:21
◼
►
the patent office works internally but I got to imagine they don't have an expert
[TS]
01:05:24
◼
►
for every darn field of patentable stuff under the Sun and so it it strikes me as
[TS]
01:05:30
◼
►
a brilliant idea but I'm not sure that when I get bored on a weekday evening
[TS]
01:05:36
◼
►
night I'm gonna sit there cruising for patents to shoot down the radio he's
[TS]
01:05:40
◼
►
like who is actually sufficiently motivated to use the Site and who
[TS]
01:05:45
◼
►
savagely motivated are the companies who get patents because they may have a
[TS]
01:05:49
◼
►
financial incentive to prevent Apple has a financial incentive to make every
[TS]
01:05:53
◼
►
single Google patent Google files be invalidate right and vice versa cool as
[TS]
01:05:57
◼
►
that same motivate you know so if you can get these big companies with tons of
[TS]
01:06:01
◼
►
money to put even a few people on this it's so easy to do because you're going
[TS]
01:06:05
◼
►
to be invalid and pans in like in a demanding to know that Apple probably
[TS]
01:06:08
◼
►
knows about the demands to Google's gonna file patents and vice versa
[TS]
01:06:11
◼
►
because they're both in the same industry get all these guys to instead
[TS]
01:06:14
◼
►
of spending all their energy patenting everything under the Sun take part of
[TS]
01:06:18
◼
►
their energy because now they suddenly they have been employees used to be
[TS]
01:06:21
◼
►
you had no way to get your other guys patents invalid it yet to wait for them
[TS]
01:06:24
◼
►
to be granted rejected then you could try to validate the court where is now
[TS]
01:06:27
◼
►
at the patent office is like look we're willing to accept some help here this
[TS]
01:06:32
◼
►
pattern has been applied for here's the application
[TS]
01:06:35
◼
►
and Apple goes out and finds prior art and headed off the pass like I do I
[TS]
01:06:40
◼
►
don't know if these companies are actually gonna do that but they're the
[TS]
01:06:42
◼
►
ones who have both the motivation and the skills to do this I think would be
[TS]
01:06:47
◼
►
gradual because I had all patents and like I said nothing that would cure this
[TS]
01:06:51
◼
►
whole problem is just to eliminate the entire patent system and office and all
[TS]
01:06:54
◼
►
the employees and all the legal framework and everything involved with
[TS]
01:06:57
◼
►
it I would also cure this problem and solution but that would actually promote
[TS]
01:07:01
◼
►
innovation people don't wanna hear that so but anyway like you know you don't
[TS]
01:07:05
◼
►
hit that that's fine we'll start with this this would be fun to both you and I
[TS]
01:07:10
◼
►
i believe separately argued on our respective 505 podcasts couple of years
[TS]
01:07:14
◼
►
ago I think we both argued that basically the entire patents should be
[TS]
01:07:19
◼
►
abolished is is that I mean that the fact that all the stuff is necessary is
[TS]
01:07:27
◼
►
an end I think what bothers me about it in a knot not to go too deep into the
[TS]
01:07:33
◼
►
system should be just that would be a horror show but I think what bugs me so
[TS]
01:07:38
◼
►
much about it is like this is it a problem that just cannot be soft well
[TS]
01:07:43
◼
►
like it is just so like the patent office can't be expected to get
[TS]
01:07:49
◼
►
everything right but they get things wrong a lot and the ramifications of
[TS]
01:07:55
◼
►
that in the market are so incredibly destructive i mean it like whatever
[TS]
01:08:01
◼
►
benefit patents are providing to people I have to imagine there's an equal or
[TS]
01:08:06
◼
►
greater amount of harm that they're causing especially in the field of
[TS]
01:08:09
◼
►
software and it just seems like there's just no good solution to this but I am I
[TS]
01:08:15
◼
►
am very well that ends at least attempting to it is improving it in in
[TS]
01:08:22
◼
►
one small way and let my objection was less practical more ideological I don't
[TS]
01:08:26
◼
►
think there's any reason you should have a monopoly rights to an idea . like it's
[TS]
01:08:30
◼
►
not as if like you know what if the patent office was perfect in every
[TS]
01:08:34
◼
►
respect no such thing there is no right there is far as I'm concerned there is
[TS]
01:08:38
◼
►
no right to monopoly on an idea that you come up with no matter how awesome that
[TS]
01:08:43
◼
►
I did period the end and so that if if that's your position
[TS]
01:08:46
◼
►
that's my position obviously there's no such thing as a patent office that that
[TS]
01:08:50
◼
►
works its just know it it's an office that only works if not exists because
[TS]
01:08:54
◼
►
it's enforcing a right but I don't think is valid thing that you should you
[TS]
01:08:58
◼
►
should just you shouldn't get a monopoly on an idea you shouldn't ever the end
[TS]
01:09:01
◼
►
but you know there's a huge continuing down to the pragmatic it sound like I
[TS]
01:09:05
◼
►
think you should but it's impossible to correctly therefore should be gone all
[TS]
01:09:08
◼
►
have to like oh I think it should be gone for software because there's no
[TS]
01:09:11
◼
►
such thing as a software patents this all math and everything's turned
[TS]
01:09:14
◼
►
completely blood like and business process patents shouldn't exist and
[TS]
01:09:17
◼
►
whole grains and I talked about in my shower went to right for the jugular
[TS]
01:09:21
◼
►
which is like 20 patents on drugs which everything's alright you hear all the
[TS]
01:09:25
◼
►
other patents but we need these because otherwise no one will ever do any
[TS]
01:09:27
◼
►
research and data cure disease and I talked about it like there we should
[TS]
01:09:30
◼
►
rehashed here but anyway that's a terrible
[TS]
01:09:34
◼
►
kids get them doesn't mean we're done it seems like a pretty good place tend to
[TS]
01:09:42
◼
►
me yeah I think so all right thank you very much to our to sponsor this week
[TS]
01:09:46
◼
►
however and 23 and me and we'll see you guys soon
[TS]
01:09:52

now the show they didn't even mean to be in accidental accidental john Kasay
[TS]
01:10:08

and you can t be L A T Marco
[TS]
01:10:51
◼

I just sold something to someone if your gonna make fun of me so much less dirty
[TS]
01:10:58
◼

way of doing it has that was me talking about how excited I am that whenever I
[TS]
01:11:03
◼

see you a singular sail fast i text someone tried to do JavaScript injection
[TS]
01:11:07

I appreciate the end of those they stand for the JavaScript automatic semicolon

surgeon say no to put it explicitly so it's not confused and yes the people who
[TS]
01:11:20

wrote this robot application have minimal competence of web programmers
[TS]
01:11:23

has not been given all the websites that I see they won't let me type telephone

numbers with hyphens and them apparently apparently the bar has been raised about
[TS]
01:11:40

american express where the maximum character for a password is 88 like
[TS]
01:11:46
◼

that's probably dictate about their their their COBOL basic mainframe

01:11:50
◼

enterprise or something but the guys who don't like your type like stuff with the
[TS]
01:11:53
◼

phone numbers they want you don't type digits you can type anything else that I
[TS]
01:11:57
◼
►
just want to go to all their houses and find them and be like no one is making
[TS]
01:12:01
◼
►
you do this like this this is literally the simplest possible task but a program
[TS]
01:12:07
◼
►
on the web has it is clearly close there are no edge cases all you gotta do is
[TS]
01:12:13
◼
►
just let me type of the numbers not rocket science like nothing no task is
[TS]
01:12:19
◼
►
easier than every other part of accepting that forms admission is higher
[TS]
01:12:22
◼
►
than that one task and yet being Fortune 500 companies will have forms the
[TS]
01:12:26
◼
►
delicious how many things have numbers and the like but you put alerts
[TS]
01:12:30
◼
►
automatically backspace to feel like the automatic backspacing code that's more
[TS]
01:12:33
◼
►
complicated than stripping out the stuff that's just it boggles my mind that this
[TS]
01:12:37
◼
►
goes on and I went to a regular people think you don't know like that is
[TS]
01:12:40
◼
►
literally the easiest thing in the entire world of a program to do with it
[TS]
01:12:43
◼
►
was like oh I can see how to do this when this item must be really secure so
[TS]
01:12:48
◼
►
let me tell you a story that that we cannot put in the show has really
[TS]
01:12:51
◼
►
embarrassing which means it's probably doomed to be in the show when I
[TS]
01:12:54
◼
►
and I are getting married I wrote in PHP and I think was my first PHP app I wrote
[TS]
01:13:00
◼
►
a website that that would like guests you know register RCP among other things
[TS]
01:13:06
◼
►
and good friend of mine his surname has an 'n it and I noticed after he
[TS]
01:13:12
◼
►
registered because I had this like totally weirdo setups where I would
[TS]
01:13:16
◼
►
email my phone to send my phone a text message back when that was still a thing
[TS]
01:13:20
◼
►
anyways so he registered and everything was cut off as soon as I hit the 'n his
[TS]
01:13:26
◼
►
name because I didn't escape anything cuz I didn't know crap about what
[TS]
01:13:29
◼
►
program it's time in fact I told myself sequel in order to write that cite this
[TS]
01:13:33
◼
►
was in 2007 I was always learning in the client and tell them to people who don't
[TS]
01:13:38
◼
►
learn from the past due I remember the first time I looked at the ActiveRecord
[TS]
01:13:41
◼
►
code in Rails find parameters that the technology that has existed since
[TS]
01:13:47
◼
►
forever and like I just know that makes it go by Carrie the other strings and in
[TS]
01:13:55
◼
►
line all the values and what could go wrong we have an escaping function
[TS]
01:13:58
◼
►
should be fine right that's how they were doing it I believe the first
[TS]
01:14:05
◼
►
version of rails was not using bind parameters and their queries they were
[TS]
01:14:07
◼
►
not they would build the sequel strings out of values you know and like I
[TS]
01:14:12
◼
►
believe they hadn't escaping function of their own devising which would be like
[TS]
01:14:16
◼
►
oh you see is just double it or whatever and if this was an ActiveRecord I'm
[TS]
01:14:21
◼
►
sliding over else when I shouldn't be I'm sorry but he trails with any other
[TS]
01:14:27
◼
►
type of thing I see it all the time of like people who write database code in
[TS]
01:14:32
◼
►
the modern era this year and don't know that by members existing just bravely
[TS]
01:14:37
◼
►
plow forward Casey to know you know escaping with something you might wanna
[TS]
01:14:41
◼
►
do but the people who like that I find more excusable then the people who know
[TS]
01:14:46
◼
►
that you have to escape so they write their own escape from they still feel
[TS]
01:14:49
◼
►
like this is the best way to do it like this once you know it's a problem you
[TS]
01:14:52
◼
►
would think you sent three seconds googling like oh I see this is a problem
[TS]
01:14:55
◼
►
import and I but there's some sort of technique to not have it anymore
[TS]
01:15:01
◼
►
look that up with people on this is not an eight-year languages may be kind of
[TS]
01:15:07
◼
►
is that you find it had either one of you ever heard of this dot net equipment
[TS]
01:15:12
◼
►
but I cargo in your things you can do so I was probably like you know the system
[TS]
01:15:15
◼
►
call the word system sells out to the right have you ever had to do that just
[TS]
01:15:21
◼
►
like not gonna happen I don't think you can do it and I probably forbidden but
[TS]
01:15:25
◼
►
at any rate people who do that like no you know you don't come to a part of the
[TS]
01:15:33
◼
►
program I mean Apple itself probably does it have already Mac apps back on
[TS]
01:15:36
◼
►
the Oprah sandbox news they'll build the strength and they'll pass that strange
[TS]
01:15:40
◼
►
system right and when you're building a string or do you have to do the
[TS]
01:15:45
◼
►
following a space that has caused him i right now I can go through the same
[TS]
01:15:49
◼
►
thing it's like people you're in steel like this a million functions that you
[TS]
01:15:54
◼
►
can use to fork and exec the take like a list of variable you know previous
[TS]
01:15:58
◼
►
methods that the take variables the plan was you don't need the shell to parse it
[TS]
01:16:02
◼
►
for you don't understand you can bypass that you're in a program your program
[TS]
01:16:06
◼
►
you can write code just as the United I mean Apple itself doesn't like their pro
[TS]
01:16:11
◼
►
stuff and I go if you're if your hard drive name has a space and then him and
[TS]
01:16:15
◼
►
you have one has the same man without the prefix for the space of two leaders
[TS]
01:16:19
◼

like iTunes installer the debtor may be with the myth to install a couple that
[TS]
01:16:25
◼
►
various times in the same is the same exact problem is the sequel things but
[TS]
01:16:27
◼
►
they're like I will just build a big long string of passing through what
[TS]
01:16:31
◼
►
could go wrong instead of it basically what you have is a list of values and
[TS]
01:16:37
◼
►
they said yeah but every time I see this as the values among normal life is one
[TS]
01:16:41
◼
►
big long strings on making into a string and then give it to something that will
[TS]
01:16:44
◼

break into list that I already had one of the strengths yeah I know that
[TS]
01:16:52

progress in certain areas but to make progress not by teaching people the

right way to do things that make it so they never had to do that thing again

first heard about it I believe from Amy Jane Gruber on one of her various
[TS]
01:20:03
◼

podcasts I saw or somewhere Twitter or something that I I got the impression
[TS]
01:20:09
◼

that it was extremely addictive and that it could just take all your money
[TS]
01:20:12
◼

because you could just anything like buy your way out of time limits at all in

that I was wrong about that TIFF has played the entire game not spending any

01:20:37
◼

money and and intends to continue that way but apparently it's pretty hard game
[TS]
01:20:43

[TS]
01:20:49

gone she's like spent hours this week playing this game and and now it's
[TS]

any that of course they don't do anything right in programming thing to
[TS]
01:21:04
◼
►
actually make it keep your progress no doubt that would cost too much money
[TS]
01:21:07

discouraged so quickly and easily from these games like you should never play

starts you know it's not so easy I go to spawn and it's interesting it was nice
[TS]
01:23:53

to look at
[TS]
01:23:54
◼

music and mentally challenging but the difficulty just goes on forever and it
[TS]
01:23:59

01:24:02

exception of seven people in the world that you will reach the limits of your

like how to place immediately you suck now from from second 0 yeosock a
[TS]
01:24:16
◼

possible role as I think it actually I have played enough to know its probably
[TS]
01:24:21

a little bit harder than super hexagon but I can't really tell Marco of you did
[TS]
01:24:25
◼

you get into tiny wings when that was popular now I've seen it I think I
[TS]
01:24:30

that I played for like an hour one time but that like i just i i dont have the
[TS]
01:24:48
◼

patience to like once I get going really far and one of those games and I die and
[TS]
01:24:54
◼

start over again like I just don't care I'm so discouraged by having to start
[TS]
01:24:59
◼

over again at that point and playing the exact same thing over and over again
[TS]
01:25:02
◼

even if it's like a little bit varied from like random generation of
[TS]
01:25:06
◼

procedural stuff i cant even then I just
[TS]
01:25:08
◼

hate going back that's what one of the reasons why I was playing through vice
[TS]
01:25:11
◼

city with no actually GTA 3 playing through it and I almost beat the game
[TS]
01:25:20
◼

but there is one mission where it took like 15 minutes to do the mission and it
[TS]
01:25:26
◼

was a timed thing where you had to do it within 15 minutes and I kept getting
[TS]
01:25:30
◼

within like 10 seconds of succeeding and just barely missing it and I get stopped
[TS]
01:25:34
◼

playing a game like I just never proceeded past that point out after like
[TS]
01:25:38
◼
►
a few days of ban on that mission and doing at like seven or eight times and
[TS]
01:25:41
◼

failing every single one I just got done that's it I get everyone back it was it
[TS]
01:25:48
◼

was the it was a missionary driver and ran across all the coffee stands in like
[TS]
01:25:52
◼

seven different parts of the town I bet everyone playing GTA GTA 3 probably
[TS]
01:25:57
◼

remembers that mission and possibly stop playing it so this is what one of the
[TS]
01:26:01
◼
►
rights of passage of anyone who will eventually come to identify themselves
[TS]
01:26:04
◼

as a gamer is that everyone eventually meets the game with the frustrating
[TS]
01:26:08
◼
►
level or the the difficult things they feel like they never going to get past
[TS]
01:26:11
◼
►
and people who vote later in life call themselves a gamer get through that and
[TS]
01:26:18
◼
►
be considered like a personal triumph and move on from it and once you've done
[TS]
01:26:21
◼
►
that once you realize that there is nothing in the game that I can do I can
[TS]
01:26:28
◼
►
always persevere it's just a question of doing it like it's not like it's not
[TS]
01:26:32
◼
►
like a value judgment like if you decide your time is better spent doing
[TS]
01:26:34
◼

something else then find a ride on the same like the people who do you make
[TS]
01:26:38
◼

that decision to say you know what I'm going in this totally inconsequential
[TS]
01:26:41
◼

place where there's no reason for me to do this there's no reward waiting for
[TS]
01:26:45
◼

the end of it no one's gonna care that I did it I'm just a low near my house I've
[TS]
01:26:48
◼
►
decided you know what I'm going to do this and eventually you do do it it's an
[TS]
01:26:52
◼
►
amazing feeling and gives you like a belief in yourself that it shouldn't be
[TS]
01:26:57
◼
►
this like all you did was you press buttons on the controller like this has
[TS]
01:26:59
◼
►
no bearing on succeed in life or anything like that but it feels amazing
[TS]
01:27:03
◼
►
right and that's that's the great thing for people who are gamers that's the
[TS]
01:27:07
◼
►
amazing thing about games like super hexagon is because it takes that gamer
[TS]
01:27:11
◼
►
sense of thinking that there's nothing you can't beat and saying you know
[TS]
01:27:16
◼
►
actually here try this
[TS]
01:27:18
◼
►
and it's the hits like for one set of people like this is a new experience
[TS]
01:27:22
◼
►
because at this point every challenge to have come across I've had been able to
[TS]
01:27:25
◼

surpass so it's it's going to bring some people to say I have reached my limits
[TS]
01:27:30
◼
►
as a human being
[TS]
01:27:31
◼
►
number I realize now after years of experience of being things that this is
[TS]
01:27:35
◼
►
one place that I I can't go any farther and then at first even smaller
[TS]
01:27:39
◼
►
percentage of people it's gonna make them initially think that in they are
[TS]
01:27:42
◼
►
gonna do and they're gonna be like I am now God there is it like it's it's like
[TS]
01:27:48
◼
►
if you after you've had drugs in hours like you've got a tolerance right and
[TS]
01:27:52
◼
►
the only way for you to get any sort of highest to get in the situation that is
[TS]
01:27:56
◼
►
basically impossible and either be defeated and had that be novel sensation
[TS]
01:28:00
◼
►
or break through anyway and be like there's now nothing I can do you know
[TS]
01:28:03
◼
►
you are very far at the end of that spectrum having friends there any is
[TS]
01:28:09
◼
►
there any game experience you've done where you feel like there's no way I'm
[TS]
01:28:12
◼
►
going to be this you forgetting to put the game down to put away for six months
[TS]
01:28:14
◼

and eventually say you know what I'm gonna be bad you come back to it
[TS]
01:28:17
◼

six-month gap in any kind of thing where you feel like you've heard decide about
[TS]
01:28:20
◼

this is impossible
[TS]
01:28:22
◼
►
this is unfair there's no way to get this game but then have eventually
[TS]
01:28:26
◼
►
gotten through oh yeah definitely like that and that's usually the outcome I
[TS]
01:28:30
◼
►
don't usually give up on the game completely but they're just like certain
[TS]
01:28:33
◼
►
things just like anything that especially that that just wastes tons
[TS]
01:28:37
◼
►
and tons of time doing the same thing over and over and over again in order to
[TS]
01:28:41
◼
►
get to the point that I keep failing that that's that's part of the
[TS]
01:28:46
◼
►
experience of course they do that of course I guess that most extreme cases
[TS]
01:28:50
◼
►
the ones where there was no saving right like the whole thing would be like that
[TS]
01:28:53
◼
►
you'd spend five hours a week and getting to the place where you dial dial
[TS]
01:28:57
◼
►
dial the time so I like your your you know your code compile debug cycle is
[TS]
01:29:02
◼
►
like four hours long
[TS]
01:29:04
◼
►
like you do the math your head like how many tries it gonna take me and it each
[TS]
01:29:08
◼
►
time I do the try and then eventually can you get up to that level anymore
[TS]
01:29:12
◼
►
downward spiral where you're not even getting halfway through the place where
[TS]
01:29:15
◼
►
you gonna die anymore you have to take a break from like that's the whole like
[TS]
01:29:18
◼
►
that's what I'm talking about the whole experience and that's just how it works
[TS]
01:29:22
◼
►
and that that's what games are generally where you get something to savor some
[TS]
01:29:25
◼
►
other way to do it but yeah back in the day to play those NES game
[TS]
01:29:29
◼
