  • Yes, absolutely. Constantly, in fact.

    Rust the language is great.

    Rust the community makes me hate rust, never want anything to do with it, and actively advise people not to use Rust. Your community is so, so important to a programming language, because that’s who makes your documentation, your libraries, fills out the discords, IRC, and mailing lists. As a developer, any time you’re doing anything but rote boilerplate zombie work, you’re interacting with the community. And Rust has a small, but extremely vocal, section of their community that are just absolute shitheads.

    Maybe in 5-10 years when the techbros stop riding its’ dick and go do something else will Rust recover its reputation, but for now? Absolutely no.




  • As someone who has strong opinions on this, and not only has a job but has a job related to exactly sort of thing… We use freebsd.

    Specifically to avoid shit like systemd, and other questionable choices forced down people’s throats by idiots who can’t stop touching things that work well because they didn’t invent it.



  • Except for the fact that it’s now invasive as hell and trying to monitor/sell everything on your computer after the rewrite. We had to ditch teams after the rework because it wanted to phone home to dozens of IPs with information about our computers and actions.

    The high score was blocking 112 outgoing requests with personal data in a single 1 hour call. (We have network connections locked down on our computers using Little Snitch).

    Absolute madness and frankly every single person involved in Microsoft Teams should be thrown in jail for espionage and stalking.
