The idiom "the pot calling the kettle black" is used to call out hypocrisy.
It describes a situation where someone criticizes another person for a flaw or mistake that they themselves are also guilty of.
The saying has a long history and dates back to at least the 1600s, appearing in a 1620 English translation of Cervantes’ Don Quixote. The phrase comes from the days of open-fire cooking. Both cast-iron pots and kettles were used over open fires and would become covered in black soot. Therefore, if a sooty pot criticized a sooty kettle for being black, it was guilty of the exact same flaw.
Today, it is commonly used in everyday arguments, professional settings, or even pop culture to highlight when someone's criticism loses its strength because they share the same issue.

Re: Claude Vs ChatGPT
I’m actually not against discussing some political and social issues in the chat subforum, but some idiots always like to talk about topics unrelated to technology in the current tech subforum, which wastes a lot of other people’s time. And wqweto is exactly that kind of idiot, which is why I really hate him.

Re: Claude Vs ChatGPT
I do not hate wqweto, but I agree that recently he started to post unrelated stuff that has no value for the topic.
not sure why he do that,
it reminds me of some users in "other" forums that post for "message count" and "attention seeking". is this what wqweto is doing?
most often he is helpful, and we need to remember that.

Re: Claude Vs ChatGPT
For most people here, wqweto is helpful. But for me, he's an absolute disaster. He has wasted so much of my time, and what I lack the most right now is time. Getting an hour of help from wqweto often means he'll make you waste 100 hours elsewhere.
Many Eastern Europeans hold a lot of hatred toward Chinese people, and wqweto is one of them. This hatred not only distorts his mind but also affects the atmosphere of this forum.
Edit:
The most helpful thing wqweto ever said to me was: When it comes to developing compilers, you can't get any help from here. So I turned elsewhere and found the solution I needed. So, I still should thank him.

Don't mistake hate with messing around and trolling. You are the forum's clown and everyone is compelled to make jokes around you -- we just cannot help it. What happened to Spread control that was planned to bring you millions of $$$? :-))
Some people are here long enough to remember your previous accounts -- always sucking the life of every topic but never returning anything to community for 20 years now. An exemplary communist apparently and there are no ill consequences for the personal character :-))
Anyway, everyone should ask themselves who has access to these forums past great chinese firewall. Not random people for sure. . .
cheers,

Your programming experience surpasses that of most Chinese high school students, but your understanding of the world and political awareness is only equivalent to that of a Chinese elementary school student, or even worse than a fifth grader. You’ve been living in an information bubble and lack even basic judgment skills. For you, owning a spreadsheet control that could earn you millions of dollars is your lifelong dream, but it has never been my dream. A spreadsheet control like FarPoint Spread is trivial to me. You often mock others, but in the end, you’ll realize the clown is yourself.
I've been thinking about this: a person who has used VC and VB for over 35 years, yet can’t develop a decent compiler or even a professional spreadsheet control, why do he frequently mock others? You're lucky you live in a poor little European country; if you were in China, you could only be a beggar.
Edit:
Also, you're constantly twisting and making up things I supposedly said. When did I ever say ‘the Spread control that was planned to bring me millions of $$$’? You're a liar.
I remember joking at the time: if you gave me $5 million, I could develop a FarPoint-Spread-like control in a few months. Why didn’t I develop a Spread control that could make money? Because such a small thing isn’t worth my time. What I wanted to do was 100 times more important and 20 times more complex than a Spread control. You can wait a few more years and see who the real clown is.
Due to historical reasons, your country has always been the poorest in Europe. Maybe you're wealthy in your country, but your spirit is extremely poor, just like your country. I can understand a former socialist country's craving for money. On the contrary, 28 years ago, 5 million dollars wouldn't have caught my interest.

Re: Claude Vs ChatGPT
FYI - I'm willing to be the escrow for anyone wanting to wager on either side of this issue.
Which will we see first:
Al Gore predicted catastrophic climate change and ocean level rises?
SDO's Spread Control, Transpiler, Compiler, Object Browser, Scripting Language, WebBuilder, or whatever else I've forgotten about?

You don’t know me and you know nothing about my country apparently. I know everything about your system, I lived in it as in I’ve experienced it personally. Anyone who succeeds in it is the scum of the universe and you are doing very well it seems.
Don’t worry about me at all — I’m well off and can’t complain about anything but moronic threads on dying forums. Take your spread control, take your JS language, take your chinese propaganda and shove ‘em you know where. . .

Don't make it so complicated, I only have one project. When you see it, it's an IDE that includes all the features of VB6-IDE, of course, including the compiler.

Yep, it will put twinBASIC right out of business!
