They have thousands of devs and I am pretty sure a good chunk of them are only resting and vesting. They absolutely can allocate even 100 in total.

Please define "fine"? There is always a very detectable lag when switching between channels and/or DMs. Always. Not a single exception. There's zero technical and human reason for allowing that to continue. The visible

Well you kind of debunked your own first point: while we theoretically can have very fast and responsive Electron apps, the fact of life is that we don't; they are a vanishing minority. What "can" be done is kind of irrelev

There go my hopes that they will eventually be responsible for the same acronym in the far future! Ref: https://warhammer40k.fandom.com/wiki/Standard_Template_Const... Jokes aside, this is really sad news. I have heard

We all know the dangers, dude. It's always a ROI and other analyses: stakeholders don't care much about malware in transitive dependencies, they want feature X within timeline Y. Do I like it? No, I hate it with all my heart, but

Correct, you're sharing a feeling. And feelings don't matter in our line of work. Also I wasn't aware you should be "giving a shit" about a lock file. Nor why would that matter for anything at all. The final program

Chess is a game with complete information. Not a good analogy with the real world.

I agree with your take and would slightly refine it to remark that having in mind how protein unfolding / producing works in our bodies, I'd say our genome is heavily compressed and we can witness decompression with an electronic

Neovim is fine and just as easy nowadays -- if you can `git clone` two repos (in my case: AstroNvim + my config) and just start `nvim` then you can go fill a glass of water and it will be 80% done by the time you sit back on your computer.

Because you and others draw parallels to left-pad and that is very far from what is actually happening in the Rust ecosystem. > Is it a rule that anyone disagreing with you is ill-informed? Obviously not, I am getting a bit agitated th

Thought about it many times but never had the time or energy to tackle something as big and new. You?

Yes, it's extremely common, think at least 95% of the time. Time to delivery is the main metric for almost any company that ships software.

Rust is not taking this into the extreme at all. You're taking a ranty ill-informed article way too seriously. Maybe it confirms your bias?
825.
by pdimitar 2y ago
Good news for you: Rust is already quite mature and is mostly the same as Java in this regard. OP is exaggerating, if not misinforming.

Rust is nowhere near the craziness of left-pad and it saddens me to see how many "I agree" comments I've read in this thread with zero accounting for nuance.
827.
by pdimitar 2y ago
The sentiment is good but our OP here is not making their argument well (and is incorrect about terminal development btw). Mike Perham also talks about a dynamic language in an ecosystem that was just as obsessed with left-pad-like lunacies

Your thing looks promising. Do you plan to introduce GitHub releases? I would subscribe to those and read the CHANGELOG.

You have to start somewhere. Strongly specialized programs that f.ex. never access disk and only access network are a good candidate to be tested in either restricted containers or brand new OS-es that carry legacy baggage. It's doable

by pdimitar 2y ago
While Rust projects unquestionably pull more dependency, there's zero of the left-pad culture in the community. It's simply pragmatism. And the OP is wrong about the terminal functionality by the way; stuff does actually change th

One file worked fine until it didn't. At one point it was 500+ lines and became unwieldy to manage. Though I might one day switch to Zed or Helix -- I want an editor that has more bells and whistles built-in and that I could just switc

Taking pride in being willing to take the longer and more error-prone and tedious path makes me wonder if you're not just flexing here. There are thousands of tools and methodologies screaming for our attention to "be arsed to lea

I loved LunarVim as well but after switching to AstroNvim I like it more. And it's easy to customize even for a very burned out dev like myself.

Of course it was never an option, how can you even ask. We the men either provide or are thrown aside, as you are well-aware. Mine was a bit of a snarky question admittedly. As said above (and I just noticed I made a typo or a grammar mista

Cool but who is going to support me while this happens? I mean I get you but it's not happening any family people in the meantime...

If you are giving me your permission then I will reach out. It's been getting increasingly shitty lately and I am on the brink. Maybe talking about it with a stranger will help.

by pdimitar 2y ago
Good thing I don't do any of those things. I'd like to draw your attention to the fact that you came here to be snarky and tear down a straw man... one that doesn't exist. I'm not going to bore you with my life story. Bu

I never made even $100k a year. Locality matters a lot. Privileged people being blind to their privilege. Nothing new. My original point still stands then. Keep finding stuff hilarious I guess, though.

by pdimitar 2y ago
How much did you make per year? How many jobs did you have? How many jobs did you hop?

by pdimitar 2y ago
Yep, that too. Many people made measurements over the last 10-ish years and the ratio between content and marketing stuff is something like 250:1 at least. On some websites it was 10x that.
