>how does /g/ deal with suicide? I'm actually quite concerned for him. I've actually known another programmer who killed himself over not living up to his expectations.

Be a good mate and demonstrate its done.

You sound like a faggot tbqh

>>59868850
well he'll kill himself if he does stop, that's not the point, it's for him to accept that he needs to change strategy and start making money from his stupid idea otherwise it'll become worthless. hiring other programmers is something he actually needs to do but won't. This is a common crossroads with many potential startups is always the hiring pool. it makes or breaks the company no matter how much shit you put into it.

500k for 4 years is not bad. in fact, i'd say he's doing pretty well compared to most ppl on /g/

>>59868790
Tell him your concerned and watch him prove to you that he's a more successful neet than you.

>>59868941
victory or death

living on the same idea myself

The fuck?
He's got 500K invested in it already. How is he failing.
I think you're the one that needs to seek professional help.

>>59869109
this
also >>>/adv/ is that way

>>59868790
He's a visionary. Just because you don't understand it doesn't make it bad.

>>59868993
>>59869109
It doesn't matter. In his eyes that's nothing to him. He hasn't even spent any of it. If I offered him $10 million for the company he wouldn't accept it. That's the concern here, is that his unrealistic exceptions over his software will drive him crazy.

>>59869340
Sounds crazy. Nothing to do. I doubt he would go to a doctor. Let him crash. Maybe he'll kill himself, maybe not.

>>59868790
you: hey coder, buddy. i believe in you and your project. i want to invest. here's $100
wait a few days, then...
you: hey coder buddy, let's go for drinks or a sexy party, or a movie... you need a break. it's proven that taking a break helps you work better.

>>59869340
Have you considered trying to assist him.
He told you to fuck off for a reason, you're that naysayer.
The 'friend' that tries to hold everyone else back.

All you have to so id go chill with him every now and then.
>>59869364
This.

>>59869340
set back $50k just in case his dreams are crushed and use it to send him the bellevue hospital on suicide watch, support him until then

>>59868790
Better die doing something you love than live doing things others tell you to do. Besides, given that someone was willing to invest 500k into this, they seem to understand and value it. If you don't even get what his project is about, it's almost pointless to offer advice.

Good posts.

I've seriously never heard of anyone succeeding by sitting in their basement working on something for half a decade. Look at Richard Stallman.

>>59868790
Infinite Detail?

>>59869642
>Look at Richard Stallman
He's not working, though. He's done something ages ago and he's just pointing fingers at what he's done in the past.
I think he's doing pretty well considering he does fuck all.

>>59869659
What ever happened with Euclideon ? Are they just scammers ?

>>59869773
About once a year they release a new video demonstrating a new crude solution to a problem.

Software shouldn't take four fucking years to make even if it's just one guy.

Something started in 2013 is supposed to revolutionise the world? Bitch is retarded and will most likely an hero this year.

>>59869978
Vista was in the making before XP was even released. It was made by a huge team of pajeets who niggered the codebase from previous version, not a single neckbeard in his basement. It can take a while.

Tons of AI software is still in development for much longer and will be a big gamer changer.

Sometimes people become delusional and stop doing things because they love it but cause they think they are changing the world and will be rich when in truth they are so focused they forget that it obviously will not happen anywhere in the future.

I have a similar friend, he fucks up his studies, he's been in different courses never finished anything, been a first year student for 3-4 years now. Massive student debt and still not doing his best, finally comes up to me and says he wants to quit after 7 years of wasted life.

In that time he thought he could make money by 3D printing, some chinese printer that consists out of printed parts so he could sell printers and become rich, not realizing that if he could do it anyone could do it. That didn't work out cause the printer was shit.

Now wants to learn php , not for jobs with but to make a prediction system for buying and selling shit so he can get rich. So far he can make a question list that saves results when submitted

>>59870131
sounds like autism
theres no way php will be useful for share sniping :^)

>>59869340
hey its me your nigerian prince can i have a couple mil k thx bro

>>59868790
That doggo looks so cute. :-3

>>59870142
Perhaps, he doesn't look autistic though and he can function quite alright in social environments. He's the kind of guy who smokes weed all day and fucks up his studies even though he is smart enough to do them properly. Then figures he will take it easy and before he knows it he's grown up wants to be treated as an adult at his course where he sticks with people much younger than he is and gets fed up that he's being treated as a student like everyone else when he feels he knows everything already. He's a total bro but he's getting to the phase (which many people witnesses) that you get too old to fuck up and make excuses cause you have to decide what you want to do the rest of your life, free handouts are not available forever and ever. When asked what he wanted to do in life after quitting his response was; to become a hacker and make money. You can't talk him out of it either. He's also deep in bitcoin (though only profiting 2,- per year or so) to the point of autism.

Basically this

Grow a brain

This is why some people are successful, maybe after having failed a couple times, and others dont even try and are condemned to work until they are 70.

I deal with suicide by not killing myself

>>59868790
>it's supposed to revolutionize some industry or something

>i still don't know what the fuck it does even after he's explained it to me like 50 times already

why is this place full of fake stories?

George?

>>59868790
nah he will be fine, scamming $500k and jerking to trap porn isn't that bad for 4years

>>59870559
sound like a win to me

>>59870044
You are talking about an entire operating system and fictional AI. OP is talking about one guy who hasn't even spent a cent of his 500k on it.

I can't imagine what it is but it's not going to be worth billions and if it is, it still won't need four damn years to make it alone.
