I am constantly amazed at how people will find a way to fly to Mars in a bucket just so they don't have to learn how to operate a rocket :)

- RodericDay 11y agoI'm constantly amazed at what people consider a "rocket" these days.
- jshen 11y agoI'm constantly amazed at how people find a justification to fly a rocket just to get to the McDonalds a block from their house.
- hguant 11y agoObviously you need to spend more time playing Kerbal Space Program. Rockets are their own justification. On a more serious note, I think that's just human nature - if you're invested in something - a technology, a stack, a business model, a car - you value that investment more than its worth, because it is yours. I think there's also an element of "I put in the effort to learn this, so damnit I'm going to use it". Or just people like challenges.
- kzhahou 11y agoSorry, I don't get it. What is the bucket, what is the rocket, and what is Mars?
- comex 11y agoRespectively: Go (which is criticized by some for its prioritization of language simplicity over features), more complex languages, and the task that the program needs to perform.
