End of 2024 I did exactly that. Ryzen and RADEON all the way. Rocking Fedora right now but was using Ubuntu for a bit. I have no reason to use Windows at all.
I've spent quite a bit of time with Codex recently and come to the conclusion that you can't simply say "Let's add custom video controls around ReactPlayer." You need to follow up with a set of strict requirements to set expectations, guard rails, and what the final product should do (and not do). Even then it may have a few issues, but continuing to prompt with clearly stated problems that don't meet the requirements (or you forgot to include) usually clears it up.
Code that would have taken me a week to write is done in about 10 minutes. It's likely on average better than what I could personally write as a novice-mid level programmer.
If you have a good network CI/CD pipeline and can trace the time of deployment to when the errors began, it should be easy to reduce your total TTD/TTR. Even when I was parsing logs years ago and matching them up against AAA authorization commands issued, it was always a question of "when did this start happening?" and then "who made a change around that time period?"
I've said it elsewhere, but there must be some point where both parties could have continued operating while reddit made money. Even if it wasn't much, they probably could have covered their costs if they had worked out a pricing plan with the developers.
Based on what I've seen, they went above the standard for API pricing in their industry. Comparatively the pricing offered to the 3rd party app developers was akin to gouging, and was not meant to be realistic.
The post by the Apollo dev made it sound like they had gone back and forth for a while before the final pricing was laid out. I wonder why reddit didn't come up with a price that worked for all parties. Isn't some money better than none + ill will from the community?
