 So I've been doing videos for over a decade. I have a bunch of them So I get a lot of comments and I appreciate the comments both those that are Just thankful thanking me for my videos and then I also get you know sometimes suggestions And I love suggestions that will improve what I'm doing lots of times I've complained about this in the past where people will Write these comments that don't apply to the video in in some sense So like I'll do a video on how to do something in GIMP and someone the comment will be like You should use inkscape for that Except for the videos on using GIMP. It's how to do it in GIMP if I wanted to do a video on inkscape I'm not saying that you're wrong for using inkscape, but I'm doing a video That's like me doing a video on how to do something in Linux and someone come along to you should do that in Windows No, the video is on this topic. It's not on something else But I just did a video and the comments that I've gotten on it in the first day are are ridiculous I don't want to sound mean but so I've been doing videos on the date command Okay, so that's number one So if someone comes along and says you shouldn't use the date command or you can use this other command That doesn't make sense because the video is on using date commands with this whole little series is on but I posted it the video in a Facebook group and Right away. I got three comments all Suggesting same thing things that work but are not Solving the problem brought up in the video It's like they didn't watch the video at all But they just looked at the code and said, huh, I can do better when they didn't know what they were supposed to be doing So let's have a look at this So the video is called will I work on Christmas and when I posted in Facebook my comment was Date command calculations to figure out which dates Christmas falls on and the very first comment is you mean days Not dates. So my first thought is did I say something dramatically wrong in the video? Then I realized he was talking about my comments on YouTube are on Facebook the post And he's saying that we should find out what days Christmas falls on but that's not what I'm trying to find out in the video I need to find out the dates which might sound a little silly just think Christmas falls on December 25th But I need to find the date in epoch time format So it's a number of seconds so I can do mathematical Equations on it. I don't need to know what day it falls on the day of the week is irrelevant I need to know the date it falls on next comment says why over complicate this We can do this using calc command and some simple Grep and off and then he goes ahead and posts his code which is better than a screenshot But that's what pace been in other websites before you really should be posting code in a comment But his code although it works does not solve our problem. His code is figuring out Does this fall on a weekend or a weekday which is not the goal of video? I need to find out whether it falls on a shift It could be a weekend or a weekday It doesn't matter whether it falls on a Saturday or Sunday and I think this is where people are getting confused They didn't watch the video. They didn't see that this topic is on shift work 24 hours shift work It goes 24 on 48 off talked about that in the video doesn't matter whether it's a weekend or a weekday So although his code works one. I don't think it's any more complicated than my code But it doesn't solve the problem that was brought up in the video So this video this code has nothing to do with the topic of the video not to mention that he's using the calc command Although he's also using the date command in there as well, but that doesn't help us That's not what the topic of the video is on now moving on to the third comment Now he points out and this is a better option for solving what that guy was doing that guy was saying that I over Complicated it he over complicated. This is a much simpler solution He's using saying use the date command with percent you and I'll give you a number zero to seven Where six is Saturday and zero seven is Sunday? So again the second comment is saying I over complicated Well, he way over complicated trying to figure out whether it's Saturday or Sunday a weekday or weekend His way is way more complicated. This third comment is a much better solution If that was what I was trying to figure out. It is not what I was trying to figure out It just doesn't make any sense. It doesn't apply and I think that these guys again Look at the title of video. Maybe looked over the code But didn't watch the video because they're all assuming that I'm trying to figure out whether it's a weekday or weekend to see whether I work It doesn't matter whether when you're working a 24 hour 48 shift. It doesn't matter because I will work Saturday I will work every third Saturday every third Sunday every every day. I work three weeks from that date I'm gonna be working that same day So it doesn't matter the day of the week and all these people are suggesting figuring out What day of the week it is so you can figure out whether it's a weekend or weekday and that was not the topic of the video and Although I appreciate comments I would also appreciate people watching the videos before commenting because if they watched the video at all They would have clearly seen that what they're typing does not help. I'm not trying to figure out the day of the week I'm just pointing this out because I get comments like this a lot and Again, I appreciate comments and if someone showed me a way to simplify or shorten or be more efficient with my code That's great, but to post code Tell me that I'm over complicated thing and then so so show a solution that has nothing to do with the topic of the video Is a little silly especially when you've over complicated it as in that second comment but I thank you guys for watching feel free to comment below and I hope that this helps people just think through the process of writing comments and think before you type Because there are people out there who are helpful and will type helpful comments And then there's people who are clearly just trying to spout off and sound like they're superior to the person making the video or posting the comment and you know what? That's a little bit of pridefulness And I'm not again not saying I'm better than these people because they're their codes work and at the end of the day Does your code work? But their code is not working for the problem at hand and when it comes to coding coding is problem-solving So you need to figure out what the problem is and then come up with a solution They came up with solutions, but not to the problem brought up. So thanks for watching films by Chris calm I hope that you have a great day
