Think of it this way, you might have decided that you want to focus your carriers on Rust, but your workplace has put you on a task that requires C++, and you can whine and complain all you want, but that’s the requirement. Then you dig in, get the job done post a smart solution you made to make work on HN, and the first post is a Rust programmer calling you out for choosing C++ and making life difficult for yourself. And sure, you could just quit your job, but that’s a high consequence move. So to act like you chose this all on your own in a vacuum is just insulting.
