Anyone got a non-paywalled link?

Did we read the same article? This mentions nothing about infighting between groups.

It's been this way for years. Really?

Oh, is this what they meant by "commenting your code"?

Why the heck does it need to be dynamically allocated? Just put that puppy on the stack.

I would argue that in this case the maintainers are in the wrong for not even responding to the issue, not the reporter responding with memes.

This guy is a real veteran dumbass

I've seen this same thing happen with Python's type hints. Turns out giving an "escape hatch" type for devs who have no clue what the type actually is leads to a lot of useless type hints.

Because people like this don't care about making anything worthwhile, they just care about looking cool and getting Internet points.

What the hell are you talking about

Saw this posted on hackernews yesterday, along with hundreds of comments of people completely misunderstanding the advice given. Glad to not see any of that here.

I usually agree with his takes, but I can't watch more than a minute and a half of a video of his, because it's always an unscripted rant. It's fine though, he usually gets his point across in the first minute anyway, and then repeats himself for another ten minutes.

I think you're spot on. It fits right in to the whole "enshittification" topic that Doctorow wrote about. Everyone started using streaming services like Netflix because it offered such a great user experience; now that they have the user base, unfortunately we are now at the point where Netflix has every motivation to make the platform as shitty as possible to milk as much money from their users as they can.

Wow, I'm really disappointed, it's just full of posts from parody accounts with people in the comments not realizing it isn't real.

Bet you $50 we later learn this guy was orchestrating a supply chain attack.

Should be titled, "demotivating a programmer with a specific personality type." Sure, some good programmer you know doesn't value money; that doesn't mean every skilled programmer won't value it.

Hard to say without being able to see the comments. I suspect that if that were the case, the entire post would have been removed.

Yeah, I guess that makes sense. Removes confusion for people new to the ecosystem who might think some third party crates are officially maintained by the rust team.

I'm a bit confused about the premise of the article. Does anyone assert that typing speed is a bottleneck at all? I've been in the industry for years, and have never heard that claim.

I do agree about the whole "less code is not always more", but I get confused when the author keeps bringing it back to typing speed.

I'm confused, what exactly is going downhill? Hacktoberfest, or open source in general?
