I decided to remove the word "fanbois" from my post, on the grounds it would detract from the main point :)

There is a difference between using a tool like that for something it was not made for and making people believe that you don't need a resistor when driving a led with a Raspberry PI.

I watched a bit of the video last night, and yes there is the "I'm not using a resistor and I dare you to convince me that it is wrong" message, but no further explanation that it might wreck your Raspberry PI when you connect multiple leds this way to the other GPIO pins. I'm not willing to blow 35 euros on testing when it fails, and maybe the PI is hardened enough that it does not. But it is still ill advise.

So the twat really had that in his video?

I wonder how he and softies would react to someone saying "I share non-atomic mutable variables between threads, and I dare you to convince me it it wrong"?
pcprogrammer:
Yep he did more or less, but you need to read between the lines ^-^



But no worries, because he is a trained professional :-+



Take from it what you like.

Clickbait? That causes me to plonk the individual, and confirms my dislike of technical yootoob video.

I am unsure if these comments detract from the video. I watched some of it, including the point where these two comments are shown (sorry, the RPis don't interest me enough to watch it all) and to me it seems they were made in jest/irony and, although it might smell like "commentbait" to generate traction, I can only speculate the real intentions.

Overall, IMO it is much ado about nothing. Some watch this as "SW guys sticking to the know-it-alls HW guys" as the damn LED is in fact working with no lame resistors. Others watch this as "SW guy endangers beginners by proposing risky methods of blowing up their beloved RPi" as the IO may be short lived. And a great deal watch this as "one more opportunity to clap back at one person that worked for a company that I hate and despise".
