My plan is to wait a few months for the software quality to mature, then migrate from my Deck to this one.

Start job hunting now. By the sound of it they are one of those PE firms that zombie walk every acquisition into mediocrity.

Ultimately Linus’ opinion here does not matter in the positive. He can say Rust in kernel is good, but that does not summon the skill and work to make it happen. He can say it’s bad and quash it, at the potential expense of Linux’s future. His position of avoiding an extreme is a pragmatic one. “Let them come if they may, and if they do not it was less a loss for us.”

Fact is Rust isn’t ready for every part of the kernel. C/Rust interop is still a growing pain for Linux and troubleshooting issues at the boundary require a developer to be good at both. It’s an uphill battle, and instead of inciting flame wars they could have fostered cooperation around the parts of the kernel that were more prepared. While their work is appreciated and they are incredibly talented, the reality is that social pressures are going to dictate development. At the end of the day software is used by people. Their expectations are not law, but they do need addressed to preserve public opinion.

I’m a big fan of Hugo. I host my own blog on it.

Realistically I think that is why banning him even as a brief show of force will be very effective. He understands pain, it’s the universal language.

Wtf is that photoshopped header image. It isn’t actually that large is it?

The enshittification of Mozilla started when they hired a greedy suit instead of a passionate engineer.

They had no response to Node, V8, or Electron. They made no effort to catch up, either. Mozilla needs a purge of senior leadership, or it’s going to zombie walk into irrelevance. I say this as a Firefox user.

Not even, they laid off most of their Rust people already.

Fam, jail that windows into a gaming partition and either get a Mac if you aren’t a computer nerd or use Ubuntu if you are. My computing quality of life improved greatly when I didn’t have to use Windows anymore.

He offered to start a conversation about the blog post and give his perspective. The only thing I see here is the author refusing to stand on their post.
