It’s been about a week of learning C for me. Ironically this language has clicked for me more than any other language. Even compared to Python and Swift. (Although Swift is definitely the most straightforward I’ve experienced).
That said, a lot of these jailbreaks and tweaks are made using Objective C which is, in latent terms, an enhanced version of C. Most C code is fully compatible with Objective C code. In fact, that is why I’m LEARNING C. Is to prepare myself to eventually start making tweaks and iOS applications. And you know what? I’m starting to realize why so many developers have left the jailbreak scene.
Coding is HARD. Even when you know what you’re doing. Because humans make mistakes. You could go through 400 lines of code and miss a simple int or a semicolon. Or maybe you mispelt a function. You know how long it takes for some mistakes to be found? For reference, it took me longer than it should’ve to realize my code wasn’t working properly because I forgot to include int in one of my variables that I assigned.
Now imagine writing HUNDREDS, even THOUSANDS of lines of code. Then you’ve gotta do debugging, testing. All while knowing what you are making is free, and you have fuckers in the background going, “wen eta soon??!!?! Plz!!!”
I fucking get it. I completely get it now. This community is so braindead and entitled that nobody wants to be apart of it anymore. Idiots making a post over a question that could easily be identified with the sidebar, but can’t because they decided to bang their head into a stop sign like a fucking moron. People who ask for help over something stupid because they touched something they shouldn’t. I mean christ how are these people even having functioning devices after 24 hours?
It’s a fucking miracle Dopamine was even developed. I admit there are exceptions to this. Coolstar was always an unstable individual, but many others were good people. And to me, that’s sad.
This community is a shadow of its former self.
