   Implementation is rapidly becoming a solved problem, right? Writing code is now fast, it’s getting cheap, and quality is going up and to the right. (maggieappleton.com)

   Zig 0.15 is pretty stable. The biggest issue I face daily are silent compiler errors (SIGBUS) for trivial things, e.g. a typo in an import path (news.ycombinator.com)

   If you look at my AgentDank repo, one could see a tool for finding weed, or you could see connecting world intelligence with SQL fluency and pairing it with curated structured data to merge the probabilistic with the deterministic computing forms. (news.ycombinator.com)

   It looks a lot like the recent record-breaking enshittification of Windows may be a subtle ploy to deprecate it and shift everything over to Linux. Consider that this "Linus Poettering" turned out to be a Microsoft mole...Some say RedHat as a whole was created by Microsoft. (news.ycombinator.com)

   Ruby’s biggest flaw is that it insists humans matter. Some people hate that. (news.ycombinator.com)

    Joel’s blog always presented programmers as rare, delicate geniuses that employers needed to pursue and pamper. I liked that. (refactoringenglish.com)

    Yes, I'd prefer Rust and Slint/Tauri. But like a prostitute I don't do what I love, I do what pays the bills. (news.ycombinator.com)

    It drives me nuts thinking about all the useless stuff C is doing with the stack and calling convention when I could just use global variables for everything and sometimes even use nothing but registers for inner loop variables. (news.ycombinator.com)

    At the time, I had spent over a year writing Jai code in my free time alongside my duties in the Icelandic Parliament, and had gotten to know it well. I may even have written some Jai code during a boring plenary session once. (smarimccarthy.is)

    These days it should be considered immoral to write software that uses inefficient languages/runtimes/abstractions, we simply cannot afford to waste energy doing useless computations anymore. (news.ycombinator.com)

    You're aware that some people think you're a nerd. So what? They're not players. They've never jousted with Windows or gone hand to hand with DOS. To them C++ is a decent grade, almost a B - not a language. They barely exist. Like soldiers or artists, you don't care about the opinions of civilians. (call-with-current-continuation.org)

    It's a shame that I like Y Combinator the organization so much, because I find the y combinator as a programming concept to be aesthetically displeasing. (news.ycombinator.com)
