It’s finding posts online and try to convince people to rewrite their projects in Rust.

Rust programmers vastly overestimate how many bugs are caused by memory problems

I sometimes use cat to concatenate files. For example, add a header to a csv file without manually copy and paste it. It’s rare, but at least more frequent than using touch.

Well, it’s also killing the internet in the process. It’s like a tumor on the internet.

Compared to C++, Rust does a lot of things for you to prevent common mistakes. This reduces a lot of the mental overhead that comes with writing C++ programs. Go does this as well, but at the expense of slower programs. Rust programs are still as fast as C++ programs.

Had a coworker who was a bit like this. They were tasked to do one simple thing. Required a few lines of code change at most.

They end up refactoring the entire damn thing and introduced new bugs in the process.

They will just get around this by creating a service that launches actual Emacs when a sudden increase in CPU temp is detected.

Freedom is obviously when I can be an asshole without repercussion.

That XKCD is almost 18 years old and is still as relevant.

By this article it sounds like Rust is a case of “perfect is the enemy of good”.
