Hi /kind/, this is my first post here, and while I always liked the presence of this board, I never wrote anything here, but I feel the need to talk to someone about this.

I feel like this whole site really hates Josh, the guy behind the failed abortion that was Infinity Next. I understand those people, the whole thing was garbage.

But I also feel for Josh. I'm a developer, and I've also been supported by someone that I really let down. A great programmer, who had faith in me, but I let him down, and I don't feel right even talking to him anymore, even if he's such a nice guy.

So when I read the "Infinity Never" post (link below), I felt really bad for Josh's situation, and I can imagine how bad he feels. People trusted him more than he managed to deserve, he had his chance, and he blew it. He let people down, people that believed him. He tried his best, and his best was shit. He had a great opportunity, and he probably doesn't even know if he'll get another chance like it (which is like I feel in life).

I'd feel awful to be in his shoes. I'm kinda poor too, so it's not like I can give him money or anything, and probably any adviceI could give would be a bit belittling for him (like scolding him for choosing PHP when NodeJS is something that exists). But still, I'd like to make him feel better because frankly, it must suck to be him at this moment, being "finally gone" from a place that hated him (seriously, 8chan really seemed to hate him, it must suck to feel like shit and have no way to convince people to feel otherwise anymore).

Is there anything I can do to be /kind/ to him? His life is probably going to go downhill from here, and that's sad.

I heard he was leaking IP addresses of posters he didn't like, also doesn't the infinity never post say that he wanted hotwheels to buy him drugs if he was to continue working?

Josh is absolutely un/kind/

If this is just bait than pic related. If this is ral than send him a nice email with a pic of your binis. That ought to cheer him up.

If you want to be /kind/ to Josh, the best thing you can do is tell him where he messed up and how he may improve in future so that this sort of thing never happens again.

You know why people hate Josh don't you? It's not because of Next itself (as shit as it was) but because of his absolute refusal to listen to anyone and believing himself to be the greatest thing to happen to this site. I doubt you and him are anywhere near similar. You say you can't bring yourself to talk to your friend because you feel like you've let him down? In Josh's head it's everyone else's fault for not realising his great vision and blindly following him off the cliff.

I know it's not in the nature of this board but Josh deserves what he gets because, don't forget, he's just squandered a lot of anon's money (I didn't pay anything thankfully) and, doesn't matter if you like, dislike, or are indifferent to them, caused /sp/ to go without a board when he decided to piss off to Japan with the donation money. He is a detriment to this place.

How would you feel if a friend scammed your other friend 1200$? I thought so.

OP here.

Well, it does seem like he really screwed up big time…

>You say you can't bring yourself to talk to your friend because you feel like you've let him down? In Josh's head it's everyone else's fault for not realising his great vision and blindly following him off the cliff.

If that's the case, at some point he'll feel like shit, either because he realises what he's done, or because he'll screw himself out of friends.

Either way, I don't see what he can do to fix what he's done - it's not just about how much money he squandered (that too), but the harder to quantify things, like screwing up with whole communities, abusing trust, and blaming others for his mistakes.

As much as he seems to deserve what's coming to him, I believe he'll eventually realise what he's done, and at that point he'll probably be a penniless drug addict with no friends in the middle of nowhere. To top it off, feeling like a loser in the one thing he should be decent at (coding).

It's a clusterfuck. Whatever you guys do, please stay away from drugs :(

Josh, you should just cut your losses, try reflecting on what happened, figure out where you fucked, and never do that again.

I just wanted to point out that I'm not Josh; and I didn't know much about him so for a long time I though he was hated just for doing a terrible job as a programmer. So for a long time I just read what people said and thought "poor guy, he's doing his best".

Honestly, now I think he's an asshole. I still pity him, but I do agree he's getting what he deserves. It's just a sad situation because if he wasn't an asshole everything would have been a lot better.

Don't feel bad. He's an asshole to everyone. People tried to help him by telling him very early on that what he was doing wouldn't work and suggesting things that would work. Josh just insulted these people and continued to do his own thing that was doomed to fail from the start.
