Software guys, please, no.
Howardlong:
This time, it's Dave's Garage. I like this channel, plenty of interesting stories, and I often learn a thing or two. But he is most definitely a software guy first and foremost.
Timestamp 3:10, hooking up a jelly bean LED directly to a Raspberry Pi GPIO deliberately without a resistor: deliberately because, well, it works for him, and he asks viewers to convince him otherwise.
coppice:
Look on the bright side. If it wasn't for idiots, there'd be no merit in competence.
John B:
No need to worry about burning out GPIO pins, since RPis are plentiful and easy to obtain at the moment.

Ah, a "coder".
You know, the person who copy-pastes code off the web, until something compiles and passes through the minimal test. In the open source world, the person who responds to bug reports with "it works on my machine, so I'm closing this bug report as invalid".
Please do not confuse him with anyone who can actually develop useful software that works in a predictable fashion, okay?
Ed.Kloonk:
I did see the video and fully expected a response after the omission of the resistor. Couldn't believe he couldn't at least have stuck something in there.
So what's your preferred value of resistor in this example?
